Manufacturing

I did Multi Level Cost roll for Sub assembly Item and then on the finished goods , however it shows VOH and VL on Subassembly item not on Finished goods   , Kindly advise

Hi everyone,I'm facing an issue with a production order where the total quantity to produce was set to 11 units. However, the system shows that 22 units have been completed, even though the operator only received 11 units.Does anyone have insights into why the completed quantity is doubling, or what might be causing this discrepancy? Any advice on how to resolve this would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I know we can use the Mass Change function to swap one item for another across multiple BOMs.  Is it possible to use function to just remove an item without swapping out another one.

@Debbie Baldwin or anyone else familiar with this functionality in 2024R2.We were eagerly awaiting the ability to turn off backward reporting since we had built custom, complicated, resequencing logic to allow out-of-sequence reporting in 23R2. It worked well for the most part, but seemed to have some hidden issued that surfaced occasionally. In testing this new functionality in 24R2, it doesn’t seem to support what we actually need. I’m hoping I just don’t understand it. Example business case: Since we manufacture storage sheds, a production order may have the following operations.1. Framing2. Paint3. Roofing4. Electrical1 is completed first, but then subsequent operations may be completed in any different order,resulting in (1, 2, 3, 4), (1, 2, 4, 3), (1, 4, 3, 2) etc. From all my testing with creating/completing production orders with backward reporting turned off, it seems that the original “Last Operation” is fixed and only prior operations can be reported out of sequence. Is that

How to assign Raw material lot number to Finished goods in the production Order.

Client is preassigning auto numbered lot numbers for manufacturing. The original RO is for a qty (48), but because less material was scrapped, they were able to make 49. Trying to update the qty to 49 on the Move looks like it will work:But it makes this error:Any ideas or settings we are overlooking?

I have some confidence issues with what our MRP is suggesting. I want to figure out a spreadsheet or series of reports/GI’s to Audit the results. I would love to understand what folks have used in the past to perform this type of operation.  I have reviewed the training and Whitepaper as outlined here.   

In our business we have thousands of finished goods that we sell. However, a large number of them have the same manufacturing method e.g. all straight lengths follow the same process, all elbows follow the same process etc. the only change is the material that is used i.e. larger sheet blanks for larger finished goods. We can create 1 x BOM for each item, but that makes future potential modifications laborious e.g. if we change a manufacturing process by using a different machine, we’d have to change hundreds of affected BOMs. Before we create thousands of BOMS unnecessarily, are there any best methods of practice that fellow Acumatica users are adopting that could help in this scenario?Thanks,

Hi!We have started looking into ‘Clock Entries’ within the Manufacturing module with the intent of using the feature to document and track employee clock time. I understand that the entries are tied to a production order but in our use case, we don’t necessarily need to track against a production order or use it to attach labor cost to the production order. We liked the feature of being able scan in, scan out, and approve the clock entries. We only really need to capture the employee, the start time, the end time, and the duration between scans. We will then use that information for reporting.  Wanted to reach out this community to gather some thoughts on if this is suitable for my case or if I should look elsewhere.  

Is there a way to default the warehouse of the production order from the bill of material rather than the inventory item?

Should CTP work with configured items?  The items are manufactured and have the BOM and Configuration ID included on the Manufacturing tab of the item.  The item’s source is Manufacturing.  When we try to process CTP from the sales order we get the error message, “Changing the source will delete the current configuration.  Are you sure you want to proceed?”, as seen below in the screenshot.  We would like to utilize this feature so the person keying the sales order can verify the item can be produced by the requested date while speaking with the customer.  

When looking at the MRP display, there is an item that is on there for a base qty of 5,000. I have a few questions in regards to it. There is a Sales Order for 5,000, however this item has no Safety Stock and no min/max order qty. There is also nothing on the replenishment tab. There is also nothing on the Vendor tab. So, how does Acumatica calculate this? I know it is demand based but if you do not want to carry 5,000 in a warehouse, how do you get this to not show up on the MRP display? Will a Purchase Order clear this?  

Is there a way to set up a hierarchy of locations within a BoM.Our company makes seed mixes and often times end up with a “partial” bag of a seed mix, for example 5 pounds remaining from a 50 pound bag. We often set this bag aside away from the retail location to use in the next seed mix.Is it possible to set up the BoM to say “use all that is in THIS location first, and then pull from a secondary location if needed”? I would like it to show up on the production ticket if an employee needs to pull product from 2 different locations.

Is the Blanket Purchase are calculated for the supply in inventory planning (MRP). I tried to do that but it is not working as expected. Can anyone have idea, will the Blanket purchase order calculated for MRP?

When issuing a sales order and the quantity on hand for one part in the BOM is zero.  Where is the notification that there is a parts shortage?   What report shows when you could expect to manufacture the item given purchase order lead time?  Can you go directly to the purchase order screen to order the part?

Client has many small parts they want to be included on the cost calculation but not show up on the traveler.  They would like to control only major parts by having a select few printed on the production ticket.  Any way to limit what is printed?

HI Acumatica users-Help!I would like to “explode” a Bill of material against a Parent (FG) quantity.    I have not found a way to do this- other requirements to run it through MRP.   My company uses contract manufacturers,   and we need to create scenarios on lower-level components. In Most ERPs systems this is a very basic function-so I am not sure what I am missing 

Hey everyone, I have looked at all of the online help regarding planning buckets and I still don’t have a good grasp as to what a planning bucket actually is and how I should set them up. Can anyone help further explain what they are for? Thanks!

What are the ISVs available for Advanced Material and Production Planning and quality control for manufacturing client?

Has anyone been able to create supply type purchase orders without creating production order?Example:You have a raw material (stock item) You send this raw material out to get modified by a vendor (let’s say adding color to it) They do whatever they need to do to modify it They send it back to you and you receive it in as a different stock item (for us it’s another raw material we will then use for a production order) I understand creating the bill of materials with the service and the raw materials, but creating a production order to do this does not align with what we are doing (that is suppliers responsibility to have a production order).  So this is creating additional work for something that is a rather simple process. We simply want to create a vendor purchase order, pick the material needed to the purchase order and then receive it in as another item. I can’t find a way to pick raw materials to purchase order to capture that cost and include the traceability

hi All, I am using configurator in my production order and I want the system to use this specific warehouse to issue the material from shed 2 if I select 1022 itemwhen I create the production order and I check the detail it is not assigning the one I had used on my configuration and instead used the warehouse on the finished good item. on the header of production order maintenance! why is that ? this is not what I am expecting based on the help.thanks for your help in advance Ghazal Warehouse This is the warehouse from which this material should be issued. If not specified, the warehouse from the assembly is used.  

Hello,I am trying to tinker in the system to get project manufacturing working as it says it should (for my knowledge and understanding) but I feel like there is something I am missing. I am using standard sales demo snapshot and 23R1. Please see the below for steps I’ve taken to attempt to get project transactions generated through a production order. I am expecting both labor and materials to come through and am currently seeing neither.Create production order on project (‘Update Project’ is checked) Material and labor transactions created No corresponding project transactions created  

This new feature is a very useful one.  I assumed that it might take into account the corresponding vendor price breaks for different volumes but now I am not so sure.  The documentation does not mention this.I suppose that it would mean that the estimate pricing process would need to do an MRP look up, but anything is possible.  Also vendor pricing of materials by volume is one of the key factors in unit cost changes by volume.Does it ?ThanksJames
