Hello,we have couple of Material records for which we received the error, “Cannot mark the record as updated because another record with same key exists in cache. Contact your Acumatica support provider for the assistance”. How can we delete these records, when we tried to delete them we are getting error “AM Error: The batch contains released related transactions and cannot be deleted.” Can someone please help us.  

Hi to everyone.Can anyone help me?A few days ago I activated the backflow of materials, we work with different warehouses and each warehouse has locations, therefore, each location manages inventories.I release production orders for specific locations of the same warehouse, my logic would be that when materials are consumed, they would be from the location where the work is being done, but when I check the materials that were consumed, I see that they are consumed from different locations.Is there a way to force it to only take components from a single location? For example, this order should be working on the location 46-99-1-A-1  These are my production settings:

I am trying to update the average cost for stock items that were migrated into Acumatica without an average cost.  To do this, I did a quantity adjustment with Ext Cost what I want the average cost to be and the quantity zero.  I am getting the following error.    I tried doing this again with a quantity of 1 which worked, but then when I did the adjustment for a quantity of -1 to make our actualy on hand inventory accurate the average cost went back to zero. How do I update the average cost for a stock item without changing the quantity on hand?

Hi There,We wonder if anyone is able to get the Notes and attached file from the Sales Order to transfer to the Production Order?  We checked the settings for the Order Types (ie. for both Sales Order Types and also Production Order Types) but the copy notes option is not there for Production Order.  Please advise if the setting is elsewhere.  Thanks...

I’m trying to closed production orders. Some of the productions routers have labor from mid 2023.  The routers that the outstanding labor are from former staff who no longer work here.  They are still clocked in and when I try to clock them out the following error is generated.  “Error: Inserting “Clock Transaction” raised at least one error.  Please review the errors:  The financial period is closed in the company” Does accounting have to re-open the financial period? Is there a way to delete the labor?

When we run MRP the Type of consolidation is often applied as expected but we are wondering if there is a way to dig deeper and see what Records the Consolidation consists of?Cannot seem to find anything for that

I do not plan to attend Summit this year, but wanted to generate some discussion around what I feel are critical “must-haves” for manufacturers (perhaps that could be asked in the “Ask Us Anything Manufacturing” session at Summit), especially those with configurable products, deep BOMs and complex manufacturing processes:Engineering Change module to include the ability to tie together changes in multiple BOMs under one ECO. Production module to include a formal, documented Production Change Order process.  Our production process is very involved and spans 3-4 weeks.  We often have change orders where we need to swap out several parts and change operations, and we would like to have a formal, documented process showing original specs, changes, and final specs. Would be interested to know Acumatica’s native configurator roadmap - are significant renovations in the future?  We’ve heard from multiple sources that Acumatica’s native configurator is a weaker

Need your help please.I’m trying to remove a quantity of one scanned material but when i scan the quantity to be removed, i get this message “The item is not found in the issue.” Does anyone know how to resolve this or the reason why it happens?Regards.

Is it possible to have a finished good in a BOM?  Would the production order process the components with the BOM?  For instance, if we need to add a few components to an already defined Finished good.

The feature to convert stock to non-stock (and vice versa) was added a few releases ago, but with significant limitation (the function is unavailable if any of the following are enabled: Manufacturing, Projects, Time Management, Service Management, Payroll) When will this be available with these enabled functions? 

Does anyone have a good method of copying a sales order line with a configuration? We have a client who often needs to copy a configuration and then make a small change to that configuration. They are looking for a way to easily copy the configuration instead of have to go through the selections again. Anybody have any ideas? They were also lookin to try and get a report of the configuration output but also not sure if anyone has done anything like that?

Hello!I’m working to clean-up old/abandoned production orders from years ago. I just came across one that is linked to a SO, but that SO is completed. I cannot seem to break the link to the SO, and therefore cannot cancel or delete the unnecessary RO. What should I do?  

Hi,We have a client who is using the  “When Used” method of tracking serial numbers.  They have issued a part to a production order and it has failed in the assembly, we need to “un issue” the defective part and S/N and issue a new one.  We have tried to create a negative material transaction for the part and get this error “The material cannot be returned because the item with the SD-5874-4623-00007 lot or serial number has not been issued for the RO WO-000286 production order.”  We are copying the S/N from the material transaction for the production order in question.  Is there a way to un-issue When Used serial numbers from a production order? Appreciate any insight or ideas!

Hi All,So I’ve got a costing question for a stock item and I hope I can explain it well enough for someone hopefully to help me out!I currently use landed costs for many additional costs for PO’s (shipping/delivery/surcharges, etc.) and it works great because the parts get received into inventory and then the cost go directly onto them.I’m having an issue with stock items I have created for ‘outside processing’.  Once they are received in on the PO, they pretty much get moved thru the production order and the parts stay in inventory for about 5 minutes so if we get a landed cost later, the average cost of that stock item never gets updated because the quantity of stock is zero.I’ve tried doing WIP adjustments to the production order and do not see the costs carrying over.  Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions on how to get these additional costs into the stock item?

My production ticket seems too be splitting locations of the same items and I’m trying to find ways to correct that. I also would like help to find a way to sort locations as well so I can have people pick from the same general area of where the items are by and not have them going all over the place when the sheet doesn’t have it in order. 

How can I add the BOM to a Production Order that has already been released?

When I create a Production Order for a specific assembly, the system grabs a BOM that is NOT set as the default. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn’t the RO use the default BOM? I’m assuming there is a setting somewhere I’m missing...Thanks!! 

Wir haben mal im Arbeitskalender CS209000 der Ressource Unterbrechungszeiten hinterlegt, diese sollten Pausen darstellen.Ich habe diese Zeiten in ALLEN Kalendern und Ressourcen wieder gelöscht und auch neue Aufträge damit erstellt.Trotzdem habe ich in der Ressourcen Planung AM000001 seit dem bis 2029 alle Pausen eingeplant und angezeigt. Auch “Planung und Kapazitäten aktualisieren” AM512000 hat diesen umstand nicht mehr ändern können.

I am trying to figure out how to get the status of an Engineering Change Request to be Rejected. When I reject a request it just puts it back into the On Hold status and allows the user to submit the change again. I’d like to figure out how to Reject it.

I want the “Mark for Production” checkbox to be selected automatically for certain components. I thought that this was achieved via this screen on the item, but it doesn’t seem to work as I’m expecting it to. Why doesn’t that field auto check/un-check based on the item settings?   

Hi,  We are looking at the Replenishment reporting.  We need to plan for future orders, our lead times can sometimes take longer than 3 months to get a stock in. What we need is to be able to plan future requirements.Example:  We have 1 item in stock and 2 on order and there are 3 SO in the system 2 as back order but not showing up on the Replenishment section. So, in effect by the time, we receive the PO we are already out of stock.  So, we would like to be able to review everything in one place to plan future orders to ensure that we have SOH. Our Items are high value, so we don’t hold too many items at the same time.Is there another area of the system that we could extract this information without going through individual Stock items (Inventory Summary isn’t sufficient for our needs and SOH inquiry) Thank you in advance.

Good morning all,  I want to run a report on the total $Dollar amount on all my registered materials based on minimum buy and maximum buy quantities.   Is Acumatica capable and how? Thank you 

I’m making a lot class change for a bunch of items and last area I need the clean up to allow it seems to be partially completed production orders.  Any suggestions on the best way to handle these so I can get them in a state I can change the lot class of the finished good?  Or are my 2 options complete or cancel if they still can be?  If so any tips on prep work to recreate the same status and links to POs. 

For exmaple,Vendor Lead Time as 100 days for Warehouse 1Vendor Lead Time as 200 days for Warehouse 2  etc...

Does Estimate Lead Time (Days) actually translate to Lead Time in the Stock Item? It appears its just a text field but I have not gotten it to populate anywhere when using Create Inventory Items. The definition does not actually indicate anything other than a user enterable field.
