Manufacturing

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 

On our dashboard, we have data that shows production labour vs planned labour and a variance number - however, the number comes out as an absolute number. To solve this, i was wondering if anyone has created a colour coding for a column for those that are over planned and those that are under planned - on the dashboard table.?  

Hi,Does anybody have created a GI to extract subjected details?Thanks, Prasad

We have a demand shown in the Inventory Planning display through the forecast, with an action and promise date of 11/10/2025. I created the purchase order today, but it’s being generated with the current date as the promise date. However, the customer expects the promise date from the Inventory Planning display (11/10/2025) to be reflected in the purchase order.The demands are generated based on future forecasts, and the customer expects the promise date to match the forecast date accordingly.

For some reason the videos for the T2xx series arent showing up for me in acumatica open university. Are they showing up for anyone else?

If I set up a substitution item for a stock item, will inventory planning take that information into account? I’m trying to figure out how much seed to order, but we are discontinuing one variety for a different variety, and expect to sell the same amount of seed. We have a forecast established but ideally I would want the new seed to show up on the inventory planning for purchasing purposes. 

I am testing serial number behavior for Production Orders linked to Sales Order line.If I pre-populate desired user-enterable Serial numbers on the Line Details tab of Production Order Maintenance, I am expecting that those exact serial numbers would be the choices when I do the final move transaction to put the finished goods back into inventory. On my Move transaction, I expect to see those same 5 serial numbers that I said I was producing to be available in my final move, but they are not available:  Am I missing a configuration somewhere perhaps? I do not understand the intent of pre-populating the serial numbers on Production Order Maintenance  if they are not available for selection during the Move transaction. Thank you.

I am just asking if this is not supported or I missed something.I am hoping that when Allow Preassigning Lot/Serial Nbr is checked in prod order, and a lot number is specified in the production order, the Move will use that automatically. It appears it doesn’t.This is example of my order:Tab Line Details: The finished good’s lot/serial class: However when Move is created, the lot number is not used automatically. 

I am trying to create the move transaction (AM302000) automatically after releasing the material record when the custom button (Create Move Record) is clicked in the materials screen (AM300000).This is the code I have attempted below it is now creating the move transaction successfully for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are the same but gives the following error for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are different.The transaction cannot be created for Production Order RG PP000504 because the 1H4N7820 lot or serial number has not been preassigned.Example Record to Be Created in Move ScreenRelated Production Ordernamespace PX.Objects.AM { public class MaterialEntry_Extension : PXGraphExtension<PX.Objects.AM.MaterialEntry> {// New action button to create move record after material release public PXAction<AMBatch> CreateMoveRecord; [PXButton(CommitChanges = true)]

We are on 23R2.  The Multi Level BOM does not account for UOM conversions in certain columns, such as Purchase Material and Ext Cost.You can see here that the report is taking the Qty 59.9955 x 800.2736 = $48,012.8148 (very close to $48,016.4145 on the report below). If you convert the 59.9955 to the base UOM for RM2010P, you would get 1.0000 EA and the result for ‘Purchase’ (material) on the RM2010P line would be $800.2736 (correct figure) instead of the $48,016.4145 (incorrect figure).   The Ext Cost column is also incorrect due to the lack of UOM conversion also.Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Seems like a development fix is needed, but maybe I’m missing something?  This is the UOM Conversion setup on the RM2010P Stock Item: 

Has anyone else been experiencing significant issues with MRP in 24R2 (particularly 24.211.0024)?Could not create production orders from MRP - fixed by upgrading to 24.211.0024 MRP recommending incorrect action dates - fixed with hotfix Overhead calculations incorrect causing a workaround to be applied - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD team (not MRP related but thought I’d mention this also) MRP recommending too many orders due to the system subtracting (1) from every existing order already on the floor (basically, the system does not even see an open order for qty 1 of a part, if qty is 2 it only sees 1) - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD teamThis last one has potential to cause significant disruptions for our business due to MRP recommending too many orders, causing confused priorities on the shop floor and creating false late orders.

I am using the ECR/ECO process. I created an ECR saying we need to add another step to the routing. I approve and commit the changes through the ECO. This updates the BOM adding operation ID 0075 in this case. However, the Operation DB ID is 15. So when I complete 0075 it is completing all steps with an operation DB ID < (less than) 15. We have zero customizations in this area and are looking at this in  2024R2  

We want to create a BOM that one of the materials required is the same as the finished part.  We need to issue the part to the production order, along with additional parts to repair it.  The finished part comes out of production with the same InventoryID as it went in, but with a new Lot or Serial number.Currently, It seems I cannot add the finished part to the materials.  Is there a way to identify a BOM as a rework BOM that will require this?

Has anyone had any luck with scanning on an ipad in the browser? I have created a new screen, where our shop floor can just scan in the “Request CD” from a QR code and it will find all information about it. I have the “Tab” turned off on all the fields excep the first one. This allows you to “Rapid Fire” scanning and just scan everything you need to without any additional clicking. We were looking at using a browser on an ipad, but you have to click in the field in order to fill it out. it will still go to the next line like it should, but you have to click it before you can enter information. It doesnt do that on a regular computer or a surface. Is there a way to do this or will i have to add it to the acumatica app for it to work?  

Since an update from 2024 R2 207 to 2024 R2 208, backflushed material transactions are pulling material from the wrong location.  The component is lotted.  When there isn’t enough material on a single lot in the specified location to meet the requirement, the split transaction takes material from a location other than the one specified on the production order detail.We’ve opened a support case and it is with R&D.Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue.  It’s causing some major inventory issues.​@angierowley75 Thanks in advance,Laura 

I am used to seeing STD Unit cost details; Material, Labor, OH, Subcontract.  In Acumatica I am only seeing “Unit Cost”.  The issue I am finding is that for WO, Acumatica is showing Production variance detail, which is based on Production Quantity, not standard cost.  Therefore the posted variance break out is unknown as the variance is posted as one amount based on standard cost.If I can find the Std Unit cost details, we should be able to compare STD costs vs Actual Production costs.
