Infinite Capacity Production Planning

Hi Everyone,Is there a way to do infinite capacity production scheduling? It seems like MRP uses infinite capacity, but we’re struggling to see how we would make this work with scheduling production operations.For example, a client would is wondering if they could have the ability to schedule 10 production orders (work center WC10 and operation 0010) all at the same time block on a given day.Ie. For all 10 production orders, operation 0010 would start (or be scheduled to start) at 9:00am, all in Work Center WC10

Rough Cut Planning - Work Center Schedule, Production order timing

Hi everyone, Is anyone able to explain the reasoning for why after Rought Cut Planning is processed, that the system is slotting in AM0000037 in between 2 blocks of AM000002. I would expect the system to block of 2 “30 minute” blocks to complete operation ID 0010 for AM000002 entirely before starting another Production Order. If i update the crew size to 2, in the WC10, it of course completes the entire operation in 1 block.We are trying to understand what system logic, system preferences are causing the AM0000037 Production order to be slotted in-between.

Pre-Populate SO Line serial numbers before production

We have a customer who would like to store/pre-populate specific serial numbers in the sales order line/line details table. These items are items to be manufactured and have not had production order created or finished, so the actual serial numbers are not in stock.Has anyone come up with a workaround to pre-populate the serial numbers (or lot numbers) in SO Line Details?Regardless of testing all types of lot/serial classes, requiring lot/serial numbers on the order types, and changing item class to allow negative quantities, I can not get past the Inventory quantity will go negative error once I try to prepopulate a user enterable serial number in line details. I enter the serial and then when I tab off it clears the serial number and presents the error message.

Forecast not creating MRP demand for components

Hello,When I run MRP, it successfully shows demand for component parts for a specific BOM when the demand is for a production order.When I put in a forecast for the upper level part (The BOM part) MRP shows the forecast demand ONLY for the upper level part, not for for the components used on the BOM.Any thoughts why the forecast demand would not be blowing down to the materials on the BOM and MRP suggesting POs for the parts?Thanks!Larry

Error: DemandPlanID '80876' cannot be found in the system.

Hello,We are encountering this issue when releasing a Labor. The production orders are set to backflush, and the Labor is for the last operation. The Labor status remains on balanced - we noticed that the corresponding IN Receipts and backflushed Materials/Cost Transactions have been generated and released.I have checked the 2 known issues for manufacturing demand plan ID issues, it is not a negative move or transfer receipt. We are currently on Build 22.120.0019.Any ideas?

SO-Production Order Link and Quantities Completed Issue

My client is a job shop manufacturer so all production orders are linked to a sales order. They manufacture items that are cut from blank sheets and vary in size. They use an external application to optimize their cuts and limit the amount of scrap because once a blank sheet gets cut it cannot be used again. Sometimes their optimization software tells them to produce more than is needed on the SO. The client deals in delicate material so scrap from breakage is a common occurrence. In each job they need to at least produce the quantity ordered and sometimes this can be absorbed due to the excess produced (based on their optimization software). Sometimes it cannot and they need to manufacture a replacement. For this reason the Include Scrap in Completions is selected in production preferences since it is a more straightforward path. The client would prefer to issue another workorder for the replacement item but this is causing issues with shipping. Materials are not backflushed and in mo

How to handle standard cost for parts that are purchased and manufactured

I’m looking for thoughts on how to handle the following scenario:We have components that we manufacture inhouse, but also outsource. In house, we do standard production orders against a BOM, which generates our standard cost. But, we also outsource these items. Currently, we outsource these components 95% of the time. Because we have BOM for these parts, out standard cost generates whenever we Cost Roll our BOM, but I really need our cost to reflect the PO cost of these items, or a avg of the 2, since we are 95% outsourced. I’d prefer to keep the BOM active for our flexibility.

Split production order

Hello, I would like to know if I can also split current production orders (activated MRP module). As an example: An order with 100 parts. There are only material for 30 parts immediately available and I need the finished product right away.Is there a way now to say I'm splitting the current job into a 30 piece, 50 piece, and 20 piece job without having to finish (or cancel) the entire job or recreate several individually. It is also about the final accounting.

How to create multiple finished goods per BNR order

Is there a way to add multiple finished goods in 1 BNR? Example, I have 50 KG of product that will pack out into 2 ea. 10 KG containers/lids, 4 ea. 5 KG containers/lids, 10 ea. 1 KG containers/ lids. Each container is a different size. This will come from a single sales order and I would like to only make 1 BNR for our production order. I know I can move multiple finished goods, but would like to created then in 1 BNR.

Tax Summary Reporting - Basic Functionality/ Best Practices for Monthly Sales Tax Reporting

Hi Everyone,Quick Question:At a high level, what are the transaction requirements to have the “Tax Summary” Report generate with data? Essentially, We are looking for a report to summarize all sales taxes charged to customers on Sales Orders based on either Tax ID and/or Tax agency on a monthly basis. We have the Company, branch, tax agency, and periods set up. We also have Sales Orders completed and invoiced. If the “Tax Summary” report would not be the best method to summarize and view this data, what would be the best approach?open to any ideas, suggestions.Thanks.

Update Production Order Detail Operations via Rest API

We produce custom products and need to update the production order details operations and materials for every order to account for the material differences. Using the rest API the PUT returns a 200, but the the data for the operations for the production order details is not updated. The production order when it is created has extra operations that need to be removed to accurately show the custom work centersHow can the production order work centers be updated via the API? How can the materials be updated via the API?

Tracking labor and downtime - Processes for managing actual labor and downtime in Acumatica”

Hi Everyone, I'm currently working on an implementation for a manufacturing business and am wondering what best practices for tracking “downtime’’ in production orders during the manufacturing process. For example:a production worker is injured during the production run and the manufacturing line halts for 30 minutes. or a piece of machinery has techincal issues and is serviced on the fly for 10/15 minuteswhat would be the best way to track this downtime vs the actual labor captured.Open to any ideas, recommendations.Much appreciated

Production Order Parent/Child relationship

When a sub-component production order is created from a parent production order, there is a relationship created on the detail line of the parent to the supply production order:Is there any way to create this relationship other than generating the prodction order from the parent? For example, if a subcomponent production order is created independently from a parent, can the relationship be added to a parent production order?

Circular reference in BOM

Hello together, I have a general question. Why is it possible to insert the same item as material in the Production BOM Details as the item to be produced and not in the Basic BOM? When I insert as material in the basic BOM the same item as in the header, an error appears:In the Production Order Details the base BOM is taken as a basis and there it is possible to insert the same item as in the head. The MRP then calculates the demand based on the production orders and sales orders. In the Acumatica help it says this.But I don't understand why it is possible in the production details but not in the basic BOM.Could someone explain this to me?

Manufacturing Lead time

If fixed manufacturing time is used for production then will it be always the same even if the quantity on the production order differs?for example, a production order for item A has qty of 500 and another production order for item A has qty of 1000, and fixed manufacturing time is set to 1 week. Will it be 1 week for both orders?For change of Qty system is not increasing the dates.

MRP Display not linking purchase order back to production order item

Good day On the MRP display it show that i need to order stock from a production order.However when we create the purchase order it does not link the purchase order back to the production order and the lines on the purchase order are created as goods for IN instead of goods for MFG.This causes confusion as you cannot see if the order has been placed or what the order is generated for.Build version is 22.209.0029Does the MRP always order for stock instead of for production?Thank you

How woud you know how much you are below required qty on productions where you have 1 Manufacturing warehouse with multiple locations?

Hi All, My client is running production in 1 warehouse but materials are stored in multiple locations. they don’t use backflushing and material will be issued using the material wizard. However, the material lines on the Production could be stored in any location in that warehouse. when we run the Wizard if we don’t have enough on hand on that location the line is not brought over to the material screen. so my suggestions were 1:we have to make sure either to transfer the material beforehand (they don’t like this idea as this is adding extra step compared to what they do now) or 2: change the location on the production order detail looking trough the magnifier (they don’t like this either as it is manual) . They use WMS and they say when they create a production ticket that system aslo gives them a picking list for material issue. if I don’t chage the Location and leave it to be the main here is what happens: the Lines which we don’t have enough on hand will not come over and we cannot
