How do you record scap qty when using MDC and the scanning screens for MFG?We don’t see anywhere to enter a scrap QTY.Example:Produciton order was for 10We made 7 good ones and 3 bad ones(Scrap).Where do I enter the bad (scrap) qty?Thanks! 

There is no history in transactions of the item showing anything bringing it to zero.  Is there a utility in Acumatica that I can run to recalculate the Average Cost of an item?

When I upload materials into a BOM using the Load Records from File button. I initially see the costs both unit cost and planned cost but when I hit save they get zeroed out.  I then have to run Cost Roll to fix it.  I can’t figure out the right steps to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to have to run cost roll every time we make a BOM. Anyone else use this process for making BOM’s?

How do all of you juggle manufacturing and shipments?    I came from a fully warehouse background and now supporting an on-site Manufacturing facility with a warehouse attached.  I am trying to optimize the existing location layout for most efficient processing without Shipping stealing from Production or vice versa. Raw material feeds to production most of the time, but could ship out.Production has different lines that do different processes and we step through the different stages.We also send finished goods back to Production for customization.The site had prioritized the finished goods storage locations the first priority, which works, until we get a return or sample order less than standard case quantity.  Second priority is Production drop locations for finished builds (saves time for allocation to allocate from the drop vs putting items away in finished goods storage to allocate).  Picking is by a standard pack (case) quantity.  If we have a partial in finished goods, it would

I am trying to see how much labor is required for producing Items but I keep running into issues with how  qty to produce for each operation ID is calculated.From what I have seen it is setting it to be always equal to the qty of the Inventory ID you are trying to make. Shouldn’t it be equal the the quantity needed in the BOM times the qty of the inventory ID?The materials seem to get calculated correctly and lists the total qty of the subparts under each operation ID correctly. Anyone else run into this?I have attached an example Production order with the first step being one that should have made a qty of 3.  

While working in the Inventory Planning Display, I noticed the Group Nbr. column when generating a Purchase Order. The screen lets you assign a different Group Nbr. to each line, but when I run the process, I still only get one PO (as long as the vendor is the same).My questions: What is the intended purpose of the Group Nbr. field in this context? Should assigning different numbers automatically split the lines into separate POs? Or is this field just informational unless you have specific consolidation settings or customizations in place? In my setup, Purchase Order Preferences and Inventory Preferences don’t have any options related to consolidation or grouping by Group Nbr., and in Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) I don’t see a “Group by Group Nbr.” option either.Has anyone successfully used this field to create multiple POs? If so, how is it configured?Thanks in advance!Varun Ram

Hello All,I'm looking to generate a production order packet (or traveler) that can move with the job through each stage of the BOM routing. The goal is to have it updated or marked as complete at each production area as that part of the routing is finished. Has anyone found a specific screen, tool, or method that works well for this in your company?Thanks,Heather

I have found some - by looking at GLTran, I have found all the labor, OH and WIP adjustments transactions.However, material issued and finished quantity are posted by Inventory ID, not by WO.I reviewed events for the WO - there is not event for finished goods.I went to the FG part and reviewed history and found the transaction and looked at the GL trans.  It doesn't reference the WO.  But I can not do that for O/S, as that is a non-stock inventory item.

Hello,Is there any current functionality that allows for item substitution on a PO?

Please see below screenshot: I verified the $354.21 operation MFG to Inventory is the summary of material $270.01 and labor $84.20. but how can I see the list of $354.21, is there a way to run a list what “operation MFG to Inventory” is made of? Thanks 

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
