I am trying to create the move transaction (AM302000) automatically when the release button is clicked in the materials screen (AM300000) On release of this materials transaction the development will create and release the Move Transaction with the below populated from the Materials ScreenThis is the override of the release button I have attempted below but it is not creating the new move transaction but there are no validation errors. #region Release Override public delegate IEnumerable ReleaseDelegate(PXAdapter adapter);[PXOverride]public IEnumerable Release(PXAdapter adapter, ReleaseDelegate baseMethod){ // First, execute the base release method to ensure original functionality var documents = baseMethod(adapter).Cast<AMBatch>().ToList(); // Process move transactions after base release foreach (AMBatch batch in documents) { if (batch.Status == "R") // Check if the batch is Released { CreateMoveTransactions(batch);

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to approach the labor costs when running mutiple production orders in parallel. In the shop an employee start a machine in a work center. They then have to monitor that machine until the job is complete. An employee is capable of monitoring several machines in the work center at once ( will be using "Multiple Production Clock Entry”  to support this part). As it is the direct labor rate is read from the work center. So if an employee clocks multiple jobs at the same time the full labor rate is assumed for each production order… For example if the work center has a labor rate of $30/hr and an employee is running 3 jobs at once this will count as a grand total of $90/Hr. In reality we want the labor rate to be variable so that the rate is considered in context of parallel jobs… If the employee is running 3 jobs in parallel then the rate should become $10/hr since the work center has 3 jobs active at the same time. Has anyone else solved

When I go to the Print Production Orders screen (ScreenId=AM511000) and select the production orders that I want to print, they all print with the same BoM Description even though they should be different. The production tickets look spot on other than that. Is this a known issue?

Hello this is the first time that we encountered this kind of error since the acumatica deployed in to our company  Please help me!Thank you

We’ve set up a sales order for a configurable product and put in a configuration for the item. When the production order is created, the details do not flow into the MRP. Is it something we’re doing wrong?

Hello,I am trying to limit the available values for an attribute based on a value selected for another attribute.Eg: If user select TOYOTA in the Make Attribute, the Model attribute shows only the models for TOYOTAIs there a way to achieve this?

Hi, client has a BOM with multiple operations.  During the Move transactions, is there a way to have the last Operation be the default?   There is a feature for Control Point, but it seems to force this to be a data collection; however it is not defaulting the last operation?  We do not want data collection for each operation.

I have a Production with 2 operations.  One operation does not have any inventory required while the other has inventory. I added a barcode for the inventory ID so that a barcode scanner can be used in the Materials Subreport.  However, the Subreport printed the barcode picture even though there is no inventory in the operation. I tried using the visible expression to only appear if there is inventory but no matter what I do, the blank subreport will still print the barcode picture.  The Visible Expression “[AMProdMatl.InventoryID]<>null” was entered into every field or sections with no impact. How to suppress the subreport when the subreport does not have any values?

Does anyone use or know if you can have multiple revisions for a stock item that you can make active or inactive, etc just like the Bill of Material module allows you to do?

There is a scenario that an stock item called 'A' as a component in a Bill of material relaces with a item called 'B' when the required quantities of 'A' are not available.The BOM is configured as Backflush,FIFO and they cannot use a revision for BOM using Item B to report material since they don't know the exact point the product use 'B'.Can anyone please suggest a possible method to carry out a scenario like this?it requires to backflush 'B' when the 'A' is not vailable in the location.

All Transactions in the Move has Labor code assigned in the Work Center . what will the reason for not allowing to release 

Hello!Is there anyway to calculate a supplemental item’s selling price based on a percentage of a configured parent line item within the Sales Order? Or is there a way to set up the configurator such that it is able to take a percentage of the SO Line item price and allocate it to the supplemental items? For instance, in our old ERP system, it was able to price supplemental items based on a percentage of the entered price of the parent line item. For example: Parent Line Item entered price: $1000Price Breakdown: Parent Line: 80% → $800 Supp. Item A: 10% → $100 Supp. Item B: 10% → $100 If you have any ideas, anything helps! Thank you!

Hello! We are currently building out our manufacturing area of Acumatica and onboarding our factory/shop employees to start using Acumatica to complete the move transactions work center by work center. Is there any way to create a dashboard that shows where each production order is by the work center? I have looked into the APS Module, but we are not at the stage where we can capacity plan based on setup times, labor times, work center capacity, etc. Is there anyway to utilize the DAC and formulas to craft this into a GI? Thank you!

We are very new to Acumatica.  We have monthly consolidated scheduled ocean shipments. Most of my ‘DEFER” on the exception list is due to we put in on the earlier ocean to arrive in time. For instance, I have a 6/25/25 scheduled ocean, and MRP is telling me to DEF to 7/9/25. I don’t have a 7/9/25 ocean, and need to make sure it’s on the 6/25/25 ocean.  Is there any schedule we can put in for our ocean, or once it moves to “IT-OCEAN-MTL” warehouse, it won’t show to defer or expedite since it’s not possible for either. 

Hi I’ve set up ad hoc quality testing, but the system is taking the inventory out of stock.  We complete our visual tests in line, so we do not take samples out of stock. Can anyone help me tell me how I set up the ad hoc tests that it will not take the sample off the inventory? Thanks

This is the use case.Stock Item   ABCBOM    ABC has 1 outside process for welding.BOM ABC containsStock Item 1,Stock Item 2,Stock Item 3StepsCreate Production order for ABC Create Purchase Order for ABC Create Vendor Shipment (this shipment should have Stock Item 1,2,&3 being shipped to outside process vendor).  but when i create the vendor shipment from the production order it only has the Stock item ABC on the shipment not the components).   The ABC item is the item i should be receiving back into inventory from the vendor.I am missing a step or have the steps being done incorrectly.  What should the proper work flow be?

can i get step by step 

HOW KNOW WHAT ITEM IS IN A CONTAINER

We are pretty new to Acumatica and looking for a “best practice” solution for a manufacturing process. So lets say we produce 100 metal widgets via Production Order. The order is complete/closed and the widgets will sit on a shelf for months perhaps.  Then at some time in the future some of those widgets will be bent up in a certain way as to become its next form.So is it best to call each form of our widget (flat form and bent form) two separate InvID’s with separate BOM’s? Or does Acumatica have a different way to do this?chris

Hello,After the Regen of inventory planning, this stock item is not shown as needing an action in Inventory Planning Display.  The stock item was created specifically for this exercise, so it has no inventory and is not referenced on any existing documents. The expectation is that we would see this stock item in Inventory Planning Display suggesting to order for the safety stock demand. No specific warehouse Inventory Planning settings, so should use what is in the stock item screen. 

Hi everyoneI am hoping that someone here can help me answer this.We are trying to build a production with subassemblies as features. The subassemblies themselves have configurable features as well. We are hoping that there is a way to have layered configuration at the parent product level. For example, once we choose Feature A (Subassembly A), the configuration further expands, to allow us to choose feature B of Subassembly A. Is there a way to accomplish this?If this is not an option, does it mean that we have to create separate production orders for the subassemblies and configure each assembly from there?  Open to any suggestion you may have.Thanks in advance. 

I am writing a GI to show all sales order lines and any time we have created a shipment on a order that does not ship all the lines on the order the rest of the order lines are duplicated by the same number as the number of shipments we have made.   Below we have made three shipments on this sales order and the remaining line on the order shows up 3 times. We made three shipments off of the order below. one shipment for line 1 and  line two split between two shipments.  Shipments are below In the GI i am using the following tables and Relation to get the Data requested. I think it is somewhere in the shipment tables but on of the requests is to see the Shipment Status and i had to go to the SO Shipment to get Confirmed or Completed off of the shipment.   

For Manufacturers planning to attend Acumatica Summit 2025 at the end of this month, please consider participating in the round table discussion (Tuesday, January 28th at 2:45 local time) to help define our future Manufacturing Shop Floor Kiosk.  The goal of the Kiosk is to simplify the interaction a shop floor worker has with Acumatica ERP and streamline production reporting.The session title is:  “Production Reporting:  Shop Floor Kiosk - a Manufacturing Roundtable Discussion”The topics to be discussed are as follows:Topic #1 - Manufacturing Workflows Discussion Goal - Identify and prioritize Shop Floor Kiosk workflows Topic #2 - Performance Reporting and Signage Discussion Goal - Identify KPIs/data that have high value to display on the shop floor Topic #3 - Beyond Production Reporting Discussion Goal - Identify workflows where the kiosk concept could be implemented other than production reporting Topic #4 - Security, Extendibility, & Customization Goal - Identify any need fo

I am running into an issue where when I access the Default BOM ID from the manufacturing tab within Stock Items it pulls up the archived BOM revision instead of the active BOM. From the active BOM, I have selected ‘Actions’ → ‘Make Default BOM’ however it still routes me to the archived BOM even after trying to log out and back in to see if that would trigger the change. Anyone else having this issue? We are currently on 2020R2
