Good day,We are having a quite an issue with BOM/Production Order unit cost converting correctly. EA to SQIN“Originally the SQIN converting numbers was incorrect.  Based on prior issues, the below corrected the issues since the PR determines the unit cost.  We use FIFO. We did the below to correct the situation.So far, we have adjusted the Stock items to correct SQIN converting amount.  Did an adjustment removing the inventory for these items down zero and then did a receipt for the quantity in EACH to bring them back into inventory at the unit cost.  Recreated the BOM (using the copy command) and still the unit cost is showing the EA unit cost where it should show the SQIN unit cost.  The production orders material totals are eating up the inventory and out whack.  We can’t change the unit cost on the production order to match the BOM (not why that is not allowed).  Everything lines ups to expect the BOM/Production process is in sync.I am at a lost for next steps.  Any assistance.  I

Hello,Very new to Acumatica, so all apologies now :).  I created my codes as you can see below.  How do I make them now go into effect?  I see Update ABC Code but I can only see that by month.  I want every stock items to be assigned a A, B, or C based off it’s avg BOH dollar amount for lets say over the last year.   

Good day,I want to update the BOM Warehouse.  Some of my BOMs are missing the Warehouse.The item warehouse details are correct with the default BOM.  We are using 2023R2Thank you.Evan   

Hi All, Just exploring the Capable to Promise Functionality.While looking at the screen it seems that the system can do this for all Sales order Types if the Item is a CTP Item.When creating a SO and a QT for the same item, only the SO Order Type shows up as available for Processing. Does anyone know if only certain Order Types are eligible for this?Not quite sure why the Quote would not be available when that is the most common stage needing a Date for the Customer.

Does anyone have operations that require direct labor cells(more than one operator working together on an operation together)If I have an order for 200 units, each operator is recording 100 units in their clock entry. The math is straight forward on the surface, but when the unit is a 6 pack and they only finish a partial order do to the end of the shift the math get complicated very quickly and we are doing lots of corrections to clock entrys.I know one alternative is to have one person scan the full qty and the other ‘0’ but then we lose sight of productivity numbers.How are people handling this? Are there any good 3rd party integrations for this?Customizations, people have in place?

Hi all,We are using Acumatica version, Acumatica Cloud ERP 2025 R1 (Build 25.101.0153.1 +), and we have created multi-layer BOMs and created sales orders.When trying to create production orders from sales order screen or from create production orders screen the following error occurs.Quote>“Error: Updating  'Production Item' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors. Error: 'Start Date' cannot be empty. “ Please find the below screen shots for your reference.Bill of MaterialRelevant Sales OrderWe have checked the data in sales order preferences and BOM preferences as well, but unable to see a reason for this error.Did anyone encounter this issue?Your insights are highly appreciated to resolve this issue. Thanks,Chameera. 

Hello community,I’m working on enhancing our use of Rough Cut Planning in Acumatica Manufacturing and wanted to share my setup, the process I’m following, and a key question about how scheduling handles material availability.🔧 Setup We are using Rough Cut Planning to schedule and manage production orders. Items in our BOM are flagged with Check Material Availability. Components can be a mix of: Purchased materials (with confirmed promise dates on POs). Manufactured materials (supplied from other production orders). ▶ Process From Rough Cut Planning, we run the Schedule action on a group of production orders. The system assigns start and finish dates based on constraint dates, resource availability, and current setup. For items with Check Material Availability, I expect scheduling to respect: Promise dates from purchase orders for purchased components. Finish dates of sub-production orders for manufactured components. ❓ My QuestionWhen the product is set up to

We are up to date and using 2025 R1. We were told originally that Multi Clock would be coming to the mobile workspace in 2025 R1. Is there a way to get Mobile workspace to have Multi Clock or is this not functioning yet?

I am processing a Capable to Promise order and it is creating a unique production order for each line item on the sales order. Is there a way to get the system to create one production order for the entire sales order? 

The purpose of the Material Requirements Planning Whitepaper is to increase your working knowledge of the MRP process within Acumatica. It is strongly recommended to first complete the M100, M200 Manufacturing Education course and be familiar with Acumatica Manufacturing processes and general MRP Configuration.Upon the completion of the whitepaper the readers should understand:Inputs to MRP and what parameters to consider if results are not as expected. How a parameter impacts planning results and where it is used in the MRP regeneration process. How MRP performs calculations The results presented by MRP by working an example backwards. Why exceptions are generated.The following topics are not addressed in detail in the Whitepaper as they are well covered in the M100 and M200 Acumatica Education coursesWhat is MRP How to configure basic MRP PreferencesThe following topics are not included in this whitepaper, but may be addressed in a future:Forecast generation see On-line help LINK Dep

Looking for a Time Clock device that is compatible with Acumatica for employees to clock-in/clock-out of manufacturing work orders. This is possible with the Acumatica APP with an android scanner such as the TC21. But it is not practical for a shop of 20+ production employees who are clocking in and out of production orders often. It requires the user to login to the application. It is clunk and time consuming. We need the employee to be able to scan a badge and WO barcode to clock-in and out of work orders. This is nothing new to the manufacturing world. https://www.acumatica.com/cloud-erp-software/manufacturing-management/manufacturing-data-collection/ Based on Acumatic-Automated-Data-Capture-ADC-Playbook.pdf it sounded like this would be no problem. But, we have yet to find anyone who can recommend a time clock that will work for this application. Summary from the Acumatica PDF: TIME CAPTUREMany time clock applications can beconfigured to collect data for shop floorlabor reporting,

I am new to Acumatica, so, please be patient with me. I need to export production order records from Acumatica. I am successfully doing that but I have been requested to update information back into Acumatica so I thought that if I had the unique record id then finding the right record to update would be easier. My issue is, I don’t see an option to include the unique value (primary index?) when doing the initial export of data. Is there a way to include the unique record id in a generic inquiry? Thanks in advance!

Hi Is it possible to use substitution lists to build the description of the Key? I’m not sure if I am doing something wrong, as it is listed in the list of available functions, but I keep getting this error Any help would be greatly appreciated. RegardsBev

In Acumatica, creating material returns against production orders requires users to manually select each material line, making the process time-consuming and prone to errors. Unlike the Material Issue screen, there is currently no functionality to automatically prefill relevant data when reversing issued materials. Is there any plan to introduce auto-prefill capabilities for material returns in future Acumatica releases to streamline this workflow and improve efficiency? 

Hi,I would like to know a method to reserve and request raw material inventory from the Raw Material Stores under the following two scenarios: When the Manufacturing module is not enabled When the Manufacturing module is enabled, and production orders are raised against specific Sales Orders In both cases, users are required to request raw materials from the stores for specific lot or batch numbers allocated to a particular Sales Order. Once the inventory is allocated, it must be reserved and restricted from being issued to any other order.Could you please advise whether there is a standard process or recommended method in Acumatica to handle this scenarioThank you in advance 

On the MRP side, is there any table where consolidated demand information is stored? We have a client who wants to include parent demand details in the Purchase Order. However, since demand gets consolidated during the MRP process, it may not be possible to retain or link specific parent demand information at the PO level. I'm trying to find out if the system stores any consolidated demand data that we can reference.

If you have Advanced Planning and Scheduling enabled, does the Fixed Manufacturing Leadtime do anything to Action Dates on planned supply in the Inventory Planning Display? Help seems to indicate that it is not considered, and that is what I am seeing, just checking to make certain this is the case.

We have found that the Mass Change form erroneously converts the UOMs in the BOM to the base UOM instead of leaving it as it was.  This is catastrophic for us who use UOM conversions on our Raw Materials that are defined as a 20’ EA on the Stock Item, but in the BOM we consume IN (inches).  In the below example the BOM was erroneously changed to consume 272.00 EA (272 20’ pieces) instead of 272.00 IN (inches).Anyone else out there that has experienced this? 

while creating formula in the formula master screen, qty in prod. volume unit and material type, qty. in prod. wt. unit, weight %, volume %-these fields are not auto filled. can someone help me how to fix this issue.

It seems that the run time for labor and machine cannot be less than whole minute intervals. The BOM preference options do not appear to have an option to capture seconds. It feels like this cannot be right so what am I missing? Note: I saw a post on this from 2 years ago but there do not seem to be any changes to the options.

Hi Acumatica,Is there a way not to require the Production Order Nbr.?The client's requirement is to run a critical material for all production orderIs there another report in Acumatica that will satisfy the requirements?Thank you! 

I am trying to enter a Disassembly for a Production Order. I entered the original Production Order number in the References tab, but Materials in the Disassembly order are using their current cost.  The reason we are doing the Disassembly order is to correct the inaccurate Materials cost from the original Production Order. How can we get the original Production Order “reversed” using the original costs? 

 I have one production order with two operations and 3 qty, serial track and Include scrap in completion checkbox is unchecked in production preference screen.Now I have created one production order with 3 qty, three serial lot SRF000131, SRF000132 and SRF000133 Generated on production order released.Now I have created first move operation for first operation, 1 qty scrapped (SRF000131) with scrap Action quarantine and qty is scrap checked, and other two qty I have moved.Now I have created second move operation for second operation, I have moved all 3 qty but error is coming "Error: Serial Number 'SRF000131' for item 'AAMACHINE1' is already received".I have already unchecked Include scrap in completion checkbox in production preference screen. same case for lot track is allowed to move operations.why different behaviors for lot track and serial track...please suggest ..Thanks

Hello! I’ve made a GI (attached) that I think is really neat, and is helping my team find anomalies in raw material usage.Context:We’re a process manufacturing company that produces some regulated liquid products. Because of this, traceability on raw materials is key.Our company requires reporting on the yield percentage of raw material lots we use in production, and the percentage of what we produced was sold. We only use one Warehouse and Branch, but have multiple locations to manage Quality Control holds and Quarantine. We use the Lot and Serial Tracking feature. We had an issue where users couldn’t confirm how a lot was zero’d out when inventory was completed. Sometimes users consumed exactly the amount of stock items that we had received. But other times our inventory count was off because vendors over/under shipped an item and we wouldn’t know exactly how much of a liquid was in a container until it was empty. If a lot had zero quantity, it was removed from the Inventory Summary

Hi there,Which Role do I need to grant a user so that they can use the Product Configurator in a Sales Order to configure an item? When they click the Configure button to launch Configuration Entry, they get this “Error: You have insufficient rights to access the object (ConfigurationEntry).” Thank you!Jon
