Manufacturing

Does anyone have any tips relating to KPI Dashboards on a big screen TV?  Couple issues: The system will boot out the login after 15 minutes of inactivity.  Have setup a dummy login with limited permissions only to particular dashboard.  How to setup so don’t have to login every few hours?   Any hardware recommendations?  Mini-PC or Android something?  Thanks you

Stock item has demand and shows up in Inventory planning display.Source accurately shows as “Manufacturing”.It has an active BOM.I select the line and click the action of “Manufacture”.It looks like it is working, and the message comes up “The operation has completed”.However, the line remains in the inventory planning display grid, and not production order is created.Any thoughts why the production order is not created?Thanks!

Hi All -  New to the community here but wanted to share a GI our team put together to see if it would help anyone else. This GI takes in a qty, warehouse, and BOM.Based on the BOM and quantities it will calculate how much you could make based on each item alone. It will format the line item as green (if enough to make the qty listed on the header) or red (if insufficient to make the qty listed on the header).Looking to share this and learn more as we are new in the community!

Anyone see this before - For New Items - <NEW> tag plus a totally different item Description Nor New - I have not even put in a Description yet …..

Is it possible to hard allocate a part that is listed as a material requirement and marked for production on a parent production order? When the child production order is completed, we’ve had problems with a sales order getting shipped when the part was needed for the production order first (hence the link production order).  If we have a 3 production orders for 3 machines and each one requires part 123 so we create the production orders that will then be linked to parent machine jobs. We can also sell part 123 on sales orders too, so when a production order that is linked to a parent order is moved into inventory, why does does Acumatica allow a shipment for the part that was made and linked to a machine production order?

We have a client that has a bit of a unique product where they are mixing lots of product and creating the same product but after testing they get a new lot number. This is very similar to Super Batch in Process manufacturing. You cannot put the same product in a BOM that you are trying to put into finished goods because you cannot have a circular reference, but you can manually add the same lot/serialized item into a production order. They are looking for a solution to be able to to mix these lots of the same product, and I was trying to see if there have been any ideas out there besides doing manual adds of the lots (which may be the best option, but throwing it out there)

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the following in our system:Track material and product scrap/cycle count adjustment by part number, lot, scrap code/reason, cycle count reason. Track defects (production scrap) in sortable fields and down to material or defect code. Entering scrap (and reporting) allows to report by component, sub-assembly or finished product level. Track scrap per stock itemThere are a few methods that we know of, but each has it’s drawbacks from our perspective, summarized below. Does anyone have suggestions for the best approach to overcome the issues noted? There may be some gaps in the procedures outlined as we are new to the system. Method 1: Scrapping Against the Production OrderThese are the general steps as we understand them, please confirm or correct as needed:Scrap action in the BOM must be set to “Write-Off” or “Quarantine” In the Move transaction within the production order (such as op 010 to 020 in our case), you can enter quantity scrapped, reason, and

I am trying to CC multiple people on an email template for a business event. I want our customer service department to be able to easily who is copied on these emails. so i added a checkbox to the customer (Contact table) screen. I then created a sql view that concats all the email addresses into one string. The business event always fails and says “Invalid Mail Address”. Below are screenshots. I tried changing the dac of the sql view to have that field be [PXDBEmail] and also string but i cant seem to make it work. Is what im doing possible? I did verify in one of the email fields that i can put multiple with “;” inbetween and it will send it to both, but i dont want our customer service to have to fill it out in that field everytime. 

Hey,Does anyone know how to remove a BOM as a default BOM for a stock item. For example, I have a BOM for an item that we used to make, but the item changed and needed a new BOM revision, and when that new revision is set to the default BOM, I assumed it would remove the default from the old BOM.   Instead, now I have two BOMs for the same stock item, that are both the “default’ BOM.  

We are testing using the STEPS tab on the Bill of Material and having this show up for operators in the Production Order Details as Work Instructions with pictures and we can’t get the Step detail that is added to a Bill of Material to show up on the Production Order.  We want to keep this digital and not print a production ticket report which we could build a custom report to have it show up.   Has anyone used steps and can provide some advice?  I haven’t found any reference at all to STEPS in the HELP nor on Community so I’m at a loss.   ​@ChrisOkamuro52 - You showed step detail in the Shop Floor Kiosk demo at Summit this year.  Was pulling the Step detail into a production order new functionality and not something available today?  

I read through the Acumatica MRP literature, and it clearly states that blanket sales order lines should be reflected in MRP as forecasted demand however I cannot seem to get this to work. Is anyone working with blanket sales orders for manufactured items and able to get them to show in MRP Display?

Hi is there any possible to edit this?i want to edit the quantity but status is completed  Thank you

I am trying to add an action on the move screen to print a report via device hub. I was trying to follow the Acumatica post below and modify it for my needs . I am also including some others that i tried to use to help me, but i am clearly doing something wrong. I have very little knowledge of C# so its very possible it is a simple error that I dont know about. Below is my entire code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52117362/custom-print-invoice-action-on-process-screenhttps://bstevens.net/brian/printing-to-a-label-printer-via-device-hub/ using PX.Data;using PX.Objects.CS;using PX.Objects.AM.Attributes;using System;using System.Collections;using PX.Objects;using PX.Objects.AM;using System.Threading;namespace PX.Objects.AM{  public class MoveEntry_Extension : PXGraphExtension<PX.Objects.AM.MoveEntry>  {    #region Event Handlers          public PXAction<AMBatch> print;                [PXUIField(DisplayName = "Print Move with DeviceH

I have a production order with multiple moves, on two of those operations I produced two more units than planned for.  EX.  operation one planned: 25,  made: 27.  operation two, planned 25, made 27.  operation 3  planned 25 made 25.  The production order completed at 25 and it got closed, the extra two units never made it through the final operation and are now sitting in the WIP account.  Is there a way to clean this up?  It is my first time using multilevel BOMs in a production order and this is the first big mistake that has come up.  Thanks!

My ultimate goal is to have MRP tell me how much of an item I can manufacture based on the materials I have in stock.Example: We purchase potatoes in bulk (it has a stock item of Potato Variety - Bulk)We sell that potato in 3 different sizes via manufacturingPotato Variety - Size APotato Variety - Size BPotato Variety - Size CI want MRP to tell me how many of each size I can make not just based on SO but based on the supply of the bulk potato when the sales date of all of the above sizes (first come first served).I thought turning off MRP for the bulk items would help with this but it still seems to be only looking at total sales and not the supply to make the sizes.Thanks! 

When I do a BOM cost rollup, it is pulling the cost of the old revision and putting that cost into the pending cost instead of the latest revision.For example:One part may have 4 revisions based on changes we have made to a part (REV A was the original BOM and then we created REV 1, 2, 3, 4 based on the customers needs). Instead of pulling REV 4 which is the current rev, it is pulling REV A’s cost and putting that into the pending cost field instead of REV 4.

I know it’s possible to default the ship-to warehouse based on the vendor location selected on the PO, but is it possible to default the vendor location based on the demand plan warehouse from the Create Purchase Orders screen?For Example. We have a manufacturing facilities in multiple different states. When creating purchase order to replenish “WHITE PAINT” stock at the South Carolina facility, the system should default to using the South Carolina location for the paint vendor. 

I’m getting this error message when running the Cost Roll.  The message says to check the Trace, but nothing is populating in the trace.  Has anyone come across this before?  Is there a quick way to look at BOMs to see what BOMs may be causing the issue?

I want to grant access to an existing Acumatica User Role to View Only rights for Bill of Material.  I grant that access via Bills of Material > Bill of Material.  However, the owner doesn’t want the users to see the Unit Cost and Planned Cost data fields for Materials.I have come at this from both Access Rights by Role and Access Rights by Screen.  Locating the target fields is straightforward in Bills of Material > Bill of Material > BOM Material.  Revoking those fields via either Access Rights forms makes no difference.  Acumatica always displays the cost fields.I feel like I have accomplished quite a bit via Access Rights, but this just doesn’t seem to work.  How can I revoke access to these fields?

Can any one help to understand How to Reconcile WIP Report with WIP GL Balance 

I am trying to understand the process for Scan Labor for INDIRECT labor codes. Normally MFG employees will be scanning directly into production orders for Direct labor needs, but we want to track INDIRECT labor for activities such as SWEEPING, ORGANIZING SHELVES, etc that will not be posted to any specific work orders.I was able to use the SCAN LABOR function to enter the indirect labor code, shift, elapsed labor time, and the employee ID. I was able to release that record, but there is no financial impact of this, as the labor rate and labor amount are read only and are $0. How do we impact the Labor Rate for these Indirect Labor Codes? 

If a WC has multiple machine, I cannot stop Acumatica from scheduling the one WO in multiple machines. My customer wants to schedule only one work order per machine, so we have each machine as a WC with only one Machine.Based on Demand and capacity analysis, we have fixed machines for each SKU. the client checks the WC capacity and updates the WO’s Work center before releasing and scheduling. I am able to update the work center manually in the production details screen after putting in on HOLD. But I need to update the Work Center of open Work order via import, because at any movement I can have hundreds of work order which are open and which need WC center update.

Has anyone ever had a report parameter not show up in the navigation parameters on a GI? I made Two simple reports to be used for printing labels. I added a parameter on both. The parameter shows up in the report screens. But when I try to add it to the side panel of a GI, the parameters  arent populated in the navigation parameter pull down. i tried adding existing reports to the new gi and they go in just fine (last screenshot). I created two separate reports today and this happened on both of them. i tried comparing an older report to a new one and i cant find a difference. i also tried copying a report and making a slight change and upload with a new site location and it didnt work either. 

I have 3 seperate Transfer Sales Orders that were completed in the past that are still being calculated in Inventory Planning. Transfers were made, shipments were completed, but when I regen IP the system is still counting the transfer quantity as expected inventory, leading to a lower purchase demand (or no demand).  Are these transactions just a “stuck” transaction, or is there another step that I am missing?

We have discovered a bug with the product configurator on the portal where if the rollup method is parent there is no pricing generated in the shopping cart during configuration.  We have tested this in 23R2 and 24R1 and this is occurring in both versions.  We have a client that needs to be able to use standard price lists for items on the portal that require configuration.I can create a support case for this, but I thought I might get some good responses here first.Steps to reproduce with demo data in 24R1Enable the product configurator feature under manufacturing Note: Item AMSHOWERTR is a stock item with a $230 default price in the stock items screen.  Note: AMSHOWERTR is setup in the configuration maintenance with the price rollup as parent.  This means the price at time of sale should only include the parent price.  (Image 1) Add the item to the Other Sales Category on the stock items screen (IN202500) so it shows up on the portal. (Image 2) Create a base sales price (AR202000) fo
