Morning All, My working environment is a machinist shop for the aviation industry. We use “clock entries” to account for for the machinist time when they are working on production orders. The process is this a machinist physically has the production order on his person. They proceed to a scanning station and scan both their id card and production order to acknowledged they are working on the production order and whatever work center was assigned to them. At this point no other machinist should be able to scan the same production order(physical part) and work on a different work center. But it happen last week. Please, see the embedded picture. How can this be prevented? We are currently using Acumatica 2022 R1. We will be upgrading in few weeks to next the version of Acumatica.
Hi – In Acumatica, I can see automated operations features such as Receive and Put Away, however I can’t see Scan Move, Scan Labour, and Scan Materials. My questions are:How do I enable these features? Are there any Acumatica University tutorials on these topics? (I can’t find any) Is there any Acumatica documentation on these topics?
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
Just curious if anyone implemented Acumatica for a manufacturer that has a facility in Mexico and operates under IMMEX program?
Is it possible to configure Acumatica lot/serial classes to track both lot and serial number on an item?
Hi everyone. I would like to know your opinion regarding the availability calculation rule and the pros and cons of unselecting the “Deduct Qty.” checkboxes. Thank you in advance.
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.
I’m creating an Import Scenario for the Purchase Request screen (PO.30.20.00).I’m having difficulty with the ADD PO button (found under the DETAILS tab). My error message is: “The Add PO button is disabled.” Here are my steps: What am I missing?
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.
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.
