Manufacturing

If Use Fixed Manufacturing Time on Inventory Planning Preferences is not checked, we expect MRP to use manufacturing time from the BOM.We are having trouble getting it to take Queue Time into account. DA-L0 and DA-L1 both have a queue time of 4 days.Created an SO for DA-L0 on 3/15. Here is the MRP Result, with the planned action dates for the production orders being 3/15.Shouldn’t the queue time of 4 days force the action date back 4 days?If I create the RO from the SO, it does back up the start date.

Wanted to share this with the community!  I think the visual helps a person understand Queue, Finish, and Move Times more quickly.

We build-to-order a configurable subassembly (that is linked to its parent) that we would like to pre-assign a serial # to.  When the shop floor employee does the final Move on the configurable subassembly, they will assign a serial # (system should auto-populate the pre-assigned serial # if qty = 1, but that’s a different subject).At this point, the system should know which serialized configurable subassembly goes with the parent production order (via the references tab of the production order), and I wish I could backflush the configurable subassembly into the parent production order (by the way, the reason I have to make the serial class issue method “User Enterable” is because one configurable subassembly in inventory might cost $1,000 more than another configurable subassembly with the same Inventory ID).  But when I attempt to backflush, it says I cannot because the issue method is “User Enterable”.If I type in the serial # that was assigned for the Move (when co

Hi all,I’m on 2025R1, using Production Order Maintenance, When I release materials for a Production Order linked to project 9795(Track by Project Quantity and Cost), Material Wizard 2 opens but shows no components, even though the Critical Materials screen shows enough on hand quantity for the production order. Release Material works fine for another project (9299-001- Track by Location). I verified the BOM and warehouse setup. Any ideas why this happens or what setting I might be missing?

I am trying to create a production order from the production order screen and am getting the following error message:AM Error: The following error occurred when the system tried to copy the BOM: Unable to cast object of type 'PX.Data.PXSegmentedState' to type 'System.String'.I have checked the BOM and cannot find anything wrong with it. Has anyone ever seen this message or know what it’s looking for?   

Material and move completed from Operation 10 to operation 20, not all required claimedHi, we are experiencing issue where the required material quantity is not being claimed in the operation. Currently, the material and moves are done manually from the office. What are some of the reasons/ways to troubleshoot this? Thank you, 

Is there a way for the system to automatically complete all the move transactions for a series of linked production orders?Our situation is as follows:I create a production order for Item A, it requires Items B+C and creates production orders for them. In turn Items B+C require several other item production orders. The end result can be a sizable tree of linked production orders. We want to be able to say “we have finished Item A” and have it complete all the sub-assemblies in proper sequence without us having to manually do move transactions on all the sub-assemblies.

Has anyone out there attempted to allow users to view 3D CAD Files (.step) attached to a BOM or Production Order from within their browser?  I assume we would have to use a cloud based file management system that integrates with Acumatica.Only other option I see for Acumatica-initiated viewing is to download the files to the local machine, then use a free 3D CAD viewer software, like eDrawings (Solidworks).Obviously we can use a server directory, but the user would need to search the directory for the part number based on the Inventory ID from the Production Order.

Hello, (Edit: Production Scrapping in 25R2)We are currently in the process of upgrade from 23R2 to 25R2. In the process, of upgrade we encountered an issue with scrapping on production orders. A case/Bug has been opened with Acumatica. However, we do not have an established timeline for resolution at this time.  Problem:When performing a scrap on a production operation the Production Order Detail will record the scrap on the operation in which it was performed. However, the scrapped qty will not update in the first operations QTY remaining and QTY to Produce Columns. All upstream operations, from before the scrap action will remain in a “Completed” status. In our production environment, if a scrap occurs, we must start over from Operation ID 0010.This means, we have completely lost visibility to a production order in the upstream work centers that is starting over in the production process due to scrap. This also means, we lose

How are you getting variable outside service costs back to your production orders?I am struggling to come up with a usable process for outside service/process management. We use several outside processes and depending on service, product mix, quantity, etc. they have different costs. We may use a quote from the vendor or base our cost on price lists. Acumatica does not seem equipped to deal with this scenario.Please feel free to skip over my specific attempts, and share how you have managed to get varied outside process costs onto your production orders.What I’m looking for, and the problems I am running into:To enter planned cost and quantity needed onto a production order operation subcontract material Can’t set quantity needed and batch size when Subcontract Source is set to Purchase and Move - even when my outside service is traded in a different unit than my production is producing. E.g. I am making 100 pieces a

We are currently on version 2025 R2.  We are having an issue where Inventory is released when a Sales order is Invoiced.  However, we need that to happen when Shipment is confirmed.  We have verified that the check box “Automatically Update IN Documents” in Sales Order Preferences is Checked.  We have also looked at the workflow in the customization of the sales order screen but haven’t gotten anything within there to work.  Has anyone had this issue before?

We have 2 phantom subassemblies after the same operation that are created by the configurator. We are trying to control the order that the added operations are in, but can’t figure out how the system is ordering them. We tried reversing the sort order of the features, reversing the actual feature line numbers, changing the alphabetic order of the feature labels, even reversing the alphabetic order of the work centers. Does anyone know how the system determines the order of these added phantom subassemblies?

Is there a way to find the quantity of a stock item issued to a production order? As it stands, once the raw material is issued to the job it no longer exists in inventory, however we always over-issue material and need to account for the over-issue when ordering more raw material.  We may have 15-20 production orders with material issued at the same time so going one by one would be inefficient.  I would assume there is some sort of WIP location that stores this data but I cant find it.  

Hello all,I am curious to understand the purpose of Keys under Production Configurator. Maybe with an example?Thanks in advance.

Ive been getting questions from our engineer to order team about utilizing Planning Production Orders to drive demand, instead of utilizing BOMs. However, I haven't been able to find any documented process of “next steps” after initially driving demand. Is there much of a documented process to replacing or changing to Regular production orders once ready to produce? It seems from initial research, that any use of PL Production Order Types is simply a manual management of use. Any help would be appreciated! 

We’re currently preparing for an MRP implementation in Acumatica, and one of the key risks we’re anticipating is how the system will handle split Sales Orders tied to the same item.Due to capital budget constraints, it’s common in our environment for a single project/item to be split across multiple Sales Orders—sometimes up to 6–8 based on customer capital funding limits (typically around $5,000 per order). From an operational standpoint, these do not represent separate demand signals; they reflect a single underlying requirement that is fragmented for financial reasons.Our concern is how MRP will interpret this structure:Will each split SO be treated as independent demand, potentially inflating supply signals? What is the best way to maintain a unified supply strategy (single PO or Production Order) while demand is distributed across multiple SOs? Are there recommended configurations, linking mechanisms, or planning practices to prevent

We are currently on 24R1, upgrading to 26R1 soon.  Is there a way to create a clock entry for multiple employees at once?

Is it possible to override the default WIP account in a production order when using a labor transaction? I need to hit a COGS for shop labor GL and not a manufactured products/material GL account. Reason being, the GL account for labor is in the account group for a labor line in the project cost budget. The default WIP is linked to the the materials line item in the cost budget. So I am having to post an extra project transaction that reclasses from materials line to labor. I would like to avoid this if possible. If there is a better way to get hours/dollars into production orders and accomplish the same, I’m open to that as well. I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard and I’m fighting the system. 

Hi all,we are currently using the Acumatica mobile application on scanners, but it is limited to certain screens.Is it possible to add additional screens, such as Move and Materials from Production Orders in the Manufacturing module, to the mobile application for scanner use?I wanted to check whether this can be done through configuration, mobile app setup, or features settings, or if it would require a customization.  

Hi everyone,We were having issue with the MRP,We have two separate projects, and each project has one Production order. Both production orders use the same BOM and the same material item. Both Projects are configured with inventory tracking = Track by Project quantity and cost.Scenario details: Projects ID Production Order Nbr Start Date BOM ID Purchase Order PROJ-VK-45 ORDER41326 5/11/26

Hi all,I have a question regarding the BOM Compare screen in Multi- Level BOM.when I compare two revisions of the same Bill of Materials, the compare does not explode down to the lower material level to show the detailed component changes. Because of this, I’m not able to clearly identify the exact changes at the lower level unless I manually go and perform the BOM compare on the Lower-Level BOM itself.Is this the intended behavior of the screen, or is there any setting, configuration, or process that needs to be enabled so that it can explode fully and show the lower-level material changes directly?  

Issue description If a production order was created from the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form for a non-lot/serial tracked item or a lot/serial tracked item with the When Used assignment method, there was a mismatch between the Qty. to Produce in the Summary area and the Quantity column on the Line Details tab on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form (see the following screenshot). On the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form, the system displays incorrect
