Manufacturing

MRP/Inventory Planning Display shows the demand type and related transaction, whether a sales order, forecast, safety stock, production order, etc. for the recommended supply order to be created. However, once the supply order is created, the demand type and related transaction do not follow with the related supply order. I have dealt with several clients who want this logic in MRP especially for created production orders (which sales order and customer?) and for create purchase orders (which production order or sales order?) The create purchase orders and create production orders are not great solutions, because they would like to have everything work through MRP and without the auto-allocations of the other screens.

I need some help with managing serial numbers in Production Orders. I've generated serial numbers for a Production Order (see Line Details in screenshot 1). As I perform moves or labor transactions, I want to move these serial numbers to the next operation. However, I can't seem to select these serial numbers during a move transaction.For example, we might have three serial numbers for a job, but only two of them move on to the next operation while one remains for further processing.Can anyone guide me on how to track and move these serial numbers, assigned at the Production Order level, through different operations? These serial numbers are for the finished goods, not the materials.Thank you in advance for your help!  

In the situation above, I have manually changed the Constraint date for the Parent Production Order. Is there a process I can run that would have the system automatically change the Subassemblies based on this change? Our environment is heavily made to order and I am struggling to understand how to properly use APS. I already have been made aware that overlapping operations is not possible, but I would expect the system to at least adjust constraints based on linked order changes….Just showing here they are in fact linked as parent/child orders…. 

Is there any option or formula in Generic inquiry to know total number of line Bills of Material?

When the Action Date for a Purchased Item is in the past (meaning Promise Date is less than today plus lead time), creating a Purchase Order from the Inventory Planning Display results in a PO with a line Promise Date equal to today plus the Item’s lead time. Is there a way to use the date from the requirement rather than pushing it out to full lead time? This doesn’t communicate to the Vendor that we would like the item sooner than their normal lead time if possible.

What is the difference between the 2 planning methods (MRP and Inventory Replenishment)?

Good Day Everyone, I am trying to figure out how costs get calculated on disassemblies. The knowledge base associates disassemblies with the Actual cost method. Is there a formula I can see on how this get calculated?Does anyone have a formula?Thanks

I was recently told that if you have a Sales Order that has a linked Production Order the user is unable to ship separately and has to ship the full amount of that link or else Acumatica has issues processing it. For example:Sales Order Line is for 5 → Production order is for 5 → 3 complete early and we want to ship them to the customer → 2 complete a couple of days later and we need to create another shipmentSince there is a “hard link” on the Sales order we are unable to create shipment 1 for 3 items and shipment 2 for 2 items without causing issues in Acumatica. Is this correct? If so how have other customers got around this?

Hello Experts, I am facing error while creating purchase order by critical materials from the production order. 

We have a client with a configurator with lots of attributes. The key format is currently set to Formula. There are so many attributes, they want to change to a system generated key format to be more usable. But when copying an existing configuration, there isn’t an option to change the key format on the newly created configuration. Does anyone know of a way to change the key format either on a new or existing configuation?

I’m not sure what this error means. The production order is for 16 and I am trying to input that we made 15 instead of 16. This scenario worked in our test tenant so I’m not sure why it’s not working in the live tenant or which “control point” it is referring to. 

Hello all,Getting this error after the latest update.** Exception: Inventory Planning Error processing First Pass Detail. Type = Inventory Planning Requirement. Inventory ID = BLNK-22X64-29- GL. siteID = GST. Plan Date = 4/17/2024. Stock Qty = 880.0000. FP Record ID = 4368. BOM ID = BOM011160. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.We can delete the BOM entirely but it will just error on the next one.  Here are shots of the trace log. Thoughts?  

We use average costing and also Phantom Exclude materials.  Sometimes those Phantom Excluded Materials have run time included in their BOMs.When creating a production order, the cost roll ignores the routing of the Phantom Excluded material and only blows the parts into the parent BOM.  This behavior is correct. When performing a multi-level cost roll, the cost roll includes the cost associated with the run time of the Phantom Excluded material.  We believe this behavior to be incorrect - the BOM Cost Roll should ignore the cost of the run time when rolling up costs into the parent assemblyI’d like others’ thoughts on this.  Maybe our perspective is incorrect.

Acumatica lets you make mass changes to bills of materials but it doesn’t appear that you can make mass changes to existing production orders when the bills of material are changed.Does anyone know if this is possible?I have several customer asking this.

I have entered SO Order type Sales Order A for a configured Product that was marked for production.  i created a production Order from the sales order and the production order is now complete and the configured products which are also lot serial controlled are allocated to Sales Order A. then Customer service said they want to use the products built for Sales Order A on a new Sales Order B.  Same Qty and Same Configuration. Nothing i have tried will allow me to allocate the meters to the new Sales Order.i have broken the link to the Production Order and linked it to the new sales order.   Deleted the Shipment Confirmation from SO A. Unallocated and even deleted the line off of SO A and still can’t get create a shipment for Sales Order B.has anyone successfully be able to do this when a production order is linked to a sales order?     this happens in our current system about 2 - 3 times per month and we are getting close to implementing.    We are now in 2022 R2 but will soon be in 2023

Purchase Order Status not open, not completed, but in transit (shipped), but not received.How can you set up a shipped status for Purchase Orders? 

Hi Everyone,We are trying to automatically create a Purchase Order from an Appointment form.The functionality is almost complete, but I am encountering an issue when I call the Create Purchase Order (CreateProc) function within the POCreate graph. It redirects to the Purchase Orders form after executing the CreateProc function, and the subsequent functionality does not work.POCreate graphPOCreate = PXGraph.CreateInstance<POCreate>();graphPOCreate.Filter.Cache.RestoreCopy(graphPOCreate.Filter.Current, filter);graphPOCreate.CreateProc(list, filter.PurchDate, filter.OrderNbr != null, filter.BranchID);POButtonPressed(adapter);POButtonPressed this function not executed.Plz tell me how to resolve this..? ThanksNageswararao A.

Adding an operation to an existing production order.  This is the only operation for the production order.  The following image is from the Production order details screen.The following image is from the Companies screen. 

Hello, in production:If I have a work step (0020), the next work step (0030) has a completed quantity, but it is not yet completely finished.And then I want to change the description or the setup time in work step 0020, for example. An error occurs. (Shown in the image)If I have changed an entry and then click on another field or save, the following error message appears and the system deletes the operation ID.#but if the following work step does not contain a completed quantity, I can change everything.Is that normal or is it a bug? initial SituationError Message 

If Use Fixed Manufacturing Time on Inventory Planning Preferences is not checked, we expect MRP to use manufacturing time from the BOM.We are having trouble getting it to take Queue Time into account. DA-L0 and DA-L1 both have a queue time of 4 days.Created an SO for DA-L0 on 3/15. Here is the MRP Result, with the planned action dates for the production orders being 3/15.Shouldn’t the queue time of 4 days force the action date back 4 days?If I create the RO from the SO, it does back up the start date. 

Hi Everyone, Will MRP always select the default vendor when creating purchase orders? Or will MRP recommend an alternate vendor (with a shorter lead time) if the preferred vendor’s lead time will not be quick enough for a Production Order/Sales Order.  

I am trying to add the PO# and PO Creator to the Bills and Adjustmetns GI but am getting duplicate rows.  I have added the APTran table and linked it to APInvoice.  I was hoping to get the PO# from the APTran table but now I am getting duplicate rows.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  

Wir haben ein Problem in der Produktion mit der Maschinenplanung.wenn ich in einer Ressource AM207000 eine Maschine AM204500 hinterlege und in der Stückliste AM208000 eine Maschineneinheit und Maschinenzeiten eintrage.  Dann einen Produktionsauftrag erstellen nach dem speichern ist dieser zuerst auf unbegrenzte Kapazität eingeplant. Wenn ich jetzt auf “Einplanen” gehe, wird dieser auf unbegrenzte Kapazität eingeplant. In den Maschinenkapazitäten AM406000 werden die Maschinen erst angezeigt, wenn der Produktionsauftrag richtig eingeplant wurde Auch in Maschinen Planung AM000012 werden die Maschinen erst angezeigt, wenn Sie auf begrenzte Kapazität geplant wurde. Wenn ich nun den Auftrag auf “ungeplant” setzte und neu einplane, dann werden die neuen geplanten Zeiten auf die aktuellen einfach aufaddiert jedes mal wen ich den Prozess wiederhole, erhöhen sich die geplanten Blöcke der Maschine.  Diese Zeiten lassen sich durch “Planung und Kapazitäten aktualisieren” AM512000 auch nicht mehr

We have a customer that builds large assemblies.  The welding of these assemblies spans several days.  Since the Bill of Material/Production Order Details only allow up to 23:59 for Run Time, we are entering fractional Run Units to plan hours >= 24:00 per operation. For example, if the planned hours are 250 hrs for a weld operation, we would enter 0.04 Run Units at 10:00 Run Time.However, there are some cases however where we cannot plan the hours accurately due to run units only being 2 decimal precision.  Has anyone else run into this and have another solution?Thanks!LF

Did anybody ever get the following Error when saving a Production Order on initial Creation?Inserting 'Schedule Operation' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors. Error: 'Queue Start Date' cannot be empty. Error: 'Move End Date' cannot be empty. I have never seen this Error before and I cannot really locate what is causing it.Any common causes for this can be really helpful.
