Hey there! Our business repacks seed potatoes and I’m wondering if there is a way for us to use MRP in such a way that allows us to not have to do any calculations outside of Acumatica (example in excel).
We buy seed potatoes in bulk and repack into 4 different sizes based on weight. Each of these items have their own stock item.
Right now MRP is running and consolidating sales orders so that we can create production orders. This works great as long as well sell exactly how much we have purchased, but if we sell less we will still want to repack the remaining into various sizes (ideally at the same time of repacking for sales orders). Our work around is to export the production orders out of ACU, put it into an excel sheet, change the “Qty To Produce” of the production order using calculations in the excel sheet, and importing those chanes for those production orders.
Is there anyway to utilize inventory planning so that all of the remaining bulk is put into an additional production order?
I hope that all makes sense! Thank you!
