Manufacturing

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

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

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 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

I’ve noticed over the years that a string like .../(W(104))/… can be found in URLS, but I’ve never been able to determine what this indicates.  I can create a link without this section of the URL, however it resolves back with a number when the site comes up.  Can someone help me understand?

Our client is using Filters on the Inventory Planning Display in 24R2.  While testing for 25R2, I noticed the option to setup filters is gone.  This is a critical piece for our client.  Is there a work around that I am missing?  The client has many users of this screen that need standard filters to review the results.Has anyone else noticed or experienced this issue?

Hi,Can the attributes from inventory item screen be added as a field into a customization? I am looking to add a few attributes from inventory items to the Sales Orders detail tab so when entering an line item for an order it will lookup the field from the attributes. I cannot see the attributes I have created to add them. Any thoughts? 

When I link an open Purchase Order to a Production Order using the PO Link button, the PO and Line do not show on the outside process tab. Does that tab only show the PO when you create the PO from the Production Order? 

We are an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) company where Available-to-Promise (ATP) dates are critical to our customers. These dates depend on multiple factors, including supplier lead times, manufacturing cycle times, shipping, and also engineering/design time.We are exploring ways to better incorporate engineering capacity into our scheduling and ATP calculations.Has anyone modeled Engineering as a work center within Acumatica to account for design capacity and better reflect its impact on delivery dates?If so, how was it configured, and did it effectively improve ATP accuracy? Are there alternative approaches within Acumatica to include engineering lead time and capacity constraints in the planning process?Thank you Daniel Lago

Hello, 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 our Material transactions and labor cost associ

Hi,Looking for input on how to correct a product configuration and resulting production order that is in progress or completed.Scenario: A production order is created and partially completed, when it is decided that there needs to be a small change to the configuration. We manufacture portable storage buildings (pineviewbuildings.com) and in our case, this might be something as simple as changing the paint color due to a customer request or inventory needs changing midstream. The more common scenario is that a production employee made a mistake in the construction and now the configuration needs to be corrected to match the physical unit. Currently, there is no option modify the product configuration in any way after the production order has been released. The closest we can come is creating a new production order that consumes the finished good from

We are adding a new role (raw material handler) in our manufacturing department. Among other duties,  this individual will be tasked with pulling the raw material needed for upcoming production orders and moving that material to a production staging area.    In order to streamline this process we are looking for a report that they can use to direct them to the material they need to pull.  My initial thought is that the report needs to contain the following information:Raw Material Inventory ID Qty of material on hand (broken down by Lot/SN & Inventory Location) Production Order driving demand Demand Qty on Production order Work Center on Bill of Material operation that is driving demand. In a ideal world the report would be sorted by inventory ID with the other information flowing from there,  but I am thinking we really need to drive this from the Production orders with released status, and then flow down

We are on 25R2 modern UI and using the New Release Process for Manufacturing.  I have seen two glitches so far, and wondered if anyone else has seen these in their instance:A Move that completes an operation no longer records Actual Start Date and Actual End Date in the AMProdOper (Production Details, routing section) table.  We have critical reports that rely on these dates, and they are broken right now due to this issue. The final Move (production receipt) for a linked Production Order to SO Line no longer allocates the inventory to the SO Line.  You have to delete the SO Line and re-add it to invoice the sales order.  The issue this creates for us is that the production order loses the link to the Sales Order, also breaking critical reports that help us report on stock product versus build-to-order product.I don’t see a way to undo the New Release Process, but I would like to.

Hello all,I have been trying to create child Prod Orders, but unfortunately, when I click on Generate Orders for Subassemblies option under Prod Order Maintenance → More Menu, it runs & then says “The Operation has been complted”, but it doesnt generate any child orders. Also, I have defined default BOMs for my subassembly parts & also have defined Production Default Source as Manufacturing.How can I resolve this?

Is there a way in the MFG BOM to have the Component flagged to only pull from Lot number?In other ERP systems ( like GP) , there is a single lot feature. Goal is have MRP understand that our component can only be consumed from one lot.  

We use serial tracked products that sometimes get consumed into other internal orders but sometimes get sold as is to the customer. We are having a hard time finding a way to get a list of serial tracked items that have neither been consumed into other orders nor sold to the customer. Any guidance of how to best pull together this information into a GI that employees can check against? I’m thinking probably some combination of ARTran and AMMTran info

We are having an issue attempting to partially ship an SO line linked to a partially completed production order.  Work order/SO quantity is 100, we have 50 complete.  Selecting the SO line shows 50 on hand/ available / available for shipping, but none allocated.  Line details shows the below, which looks strange from what I recall in the past.  This hasn’t been an issue in the past but we recently upgraded to 25.201.0213.2 and this isn’t something we do often so wondering if it is a bug or some obscure setting that now needs to be changed.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks,Dan
