Our process is Engineering creates BOM, Production Planning creates the Production Order under the Project, and the BOM is linked to the Production Order to generate material demand. Purchasing then procures material based on that demand.
Our challenge is with ECO driven BOM revisions. If the Production order is still in Planning status, we can update the order with the new BOM revision and regenerate the demand successfully. However, after the Production Order is Released and material has been Issued, the status moves to In-Process, and we are no longer able to update the Production Order with the latest BOM revision.
In this situation, the only option we currently see is to reverse the material issues, delete the existing Production Order, recreate a new Production order with the updated BOM revision, and then proceed again. This is operationally heavy and inefficient.
I would like to know whether Acumatica provides any standard functionality, recommended process, or best practice for handling BOM revision changes after a Production order has reached In-Process status.
This is a recurring business scenario for us, since changes to the BOM can happen late in the Production cycle. We are looking for a controlled method to reflect the latest BOM revision in an active production order without fully recreating the order.
