Configured items, adding items on the fly and changing child prices

Hi All,Does anyone have a solution to adding items on the fly to the configuration entry on the Sales Order? I want to add a Non-Stock Item for example, is there a way to do that? I am also looking to change the prices of the child items, however you can not see those prices on the configurator. I know you can change the item total overall but not the child items.

How Does Overhead Updating function on an open order?

Acumatica has told us that the only way to update an open Production Order is to manually place the order on hold go to the operation, click the work center and adjust and save the order.So today I started taking a look at how this works.First, I adjusted all the operations in dept 400 on our Production OrderThis adjustment was changing the OH from 2.9 to 2.05 inside the production order.Next, I created a labor batch for 1 minute on Operation 0050.The Cost transaction Backed out the excess overhead from past labor imports in Operation 0050.I discovered that these labor transactions did not necessarily “true” up all the changed OH operations until we did our final move into inventory on the SFO.From this, I have a few questions/assumptions I am hoping to get verified.This “truing-up” process will only do this in the current financial year and open financial periods (we have some long-running orders that would cross the year we do not want this to change numbers from the previous year o

Handling of Partial Completions On Production Order

I am wondering how other folks might be handling the following scenario. We have a production order of 100 with 50 completed. We have an order of 10 being requested as an “emergency” order. In the past, we would just do a partial to put this into inventory and ship it out. However, what happens is this absorbs all of the cost onto the 10 then adds the other items in @ 0 cost. However, this causes a lot of cost issues. I am sure we can't be the only manufacturer that does this type of thing. I would love to know how others handle this.

Return Materials that were over-issued to a Production Order in Scan Materials

We have a customer that needs to be able to issue materials using the Scan Materials and then after the production run is completed, return the balance from the Production Order to inventory. There is a remove function on the Scan Materials form but it only appears to work within an existing batch. Entering a negative number causes an error that something else has updated the batch record. If all of the material was issued initially, the user gets a message that the inventory would go negative when the Item Number is entered and does not allow you to advance to the Qty to return or remove.Has anyone else created a customized Scan Materials form that allows the user to return materials from a Production Order? The Materials will be lotted items as well.

Workcenter Capacity AM.40.50.00

I have added a second shift to my work center for 8 hours. My scheduling blocks are set to 1 hour in my Production Preferences. The second shift has its own calendar. I ran the APS maintenance. Then when I look at capacity, the work center shows 40 blocks of capacity. It showed 40 blocks when I had one shift. Now that I have added a shift I would have expected the capacity of this work center to increase to 80 blocks per week.I have deleted work centers, re-added them, recreated calendars and runt he APS process each time and nothing changes?

BOM DB Lines not the Operations driving some calculations

If you look at this screenshot from a BOM, only after exposing the Operation DB ID, could I tell why I completed labor at Work Center 475, why it created an Inventory Receipt and completed a Production Order. Thanks to Auditing, I could see that even though the grid sorted by Operation ID, Acumatica thinks Operation 15 in Work Center 910 is the last step in the Production Order. The last two steps are still not Completed, the status is released, the first 4 steps are.It created an issue for the obvious reasons. I would say that Acumatica is working as designed as when the last step is completed from a labor standpoint, it will create the Inventory Receipt. We completed Operation 20 in Work Center 475 and it completed all of the steps prior to. But Labor is completing previous operations in Work Center Order, yet the Labor calculation to move to Inventory Receipt is using the Operation DB ID, so there is a level of inconsistency going on here.Thoughts?

Conditionally Enable and Loop through SOLines based on Document checkbox

Production Order Materials Scanning

Am I missing something when I’m scanning materials to a production order? The workflow for using a scanner has been (in other modules) you scan your location, item, then you get this fun kind of conditional branch:You can set the qty, scan a different item, or scan a new location.When scanning in a production order, once I’ve scanned an item, I am forced into one of two paths: Set Qty or Scan Production ID.Why am I not allowed to scan another item, or another location for another item in the same Operation in the same Production ID?Instead of making nice loops, I’m forced to scan:Production ID OP ID Location Item Set Qty Confirm Form or repeat from Step 1.I want to repeat from Step 4 (or 3 as needed). Is this something I need to configure? Seems weird to keep feeding the system “header info” when it already has it. Sure, I can see issuing material to multiple Production Orders, but that shouldn’t be a forced thing on the end-users. In the system I’m using they will NEVER issue to multi

MRP vs Inventory Replenishments - Which one to use for a manufacturer?

What is the best practice when it comes to Inventory Replenishments versus MRP. In what cases does it make sense to utilize IN replenishments and in what cases does it make more sense to use MRP?If I am implementing MRP for a client, then should I even utilize IN replenishments or utilize MPR Only?From my understanding, it sees I should use IN Replenishments for items that have nothing to do with a BOM. For any item (FS, Sub Assembly, Raw Material) that’s included in a BOM, it seems that MRP is better suited for such stock-items. Wondering how other consultants approach this.

Labor allocation on Phantom BOMS

I was hoping someone may have some insight to this question. I am coming up with a large WIP variance in our Production Orders, and are thinking Phantom BOMs might be the cause. At the parent level, we backflush material and labor. We also exclude the Phantom, thus allowing us to bypass the move in the production order. At the BOM for the phantom, we have run rates as if we were going to make a Production Order and backflush labor and material. Is the WIP variance related to excluding the phantom and thus not capturing the labor?

Complicated MRP Situtaion

Need help w/ a work around, w/ the MRP Detail Inquiry and demand. My company purchases components for BOMS (assembled in the US at our facility) from China. 180 day lead timeWhen running MRP, i would like it to tell me what i need to order today, to satisfy demand from 180 days to 210 days from now.I understand that we will forecast out 7+ months, which we do.The issue we are having a hard time working around is that the MRP, from our forecast, displays the demand for the assemblies and wants us to create production orders. The problem is, we do not assemble ahead of time, we create those production orders upon receipt of order from our customers. So i can’t create the production orders MRP is wanted me to create based off the forecast, thus it is not showing a demand for those components that i would need to buy from China. ExampleComponent A (180 leadtime from China), we maybe sell 10 a month of this component but w/in BOM X, BOM Y, and BOM Z we can use up 600 of Component A. in thos

Negative scrap transaction not removing qty from quarantine location

Afternoon everyone, I’ve run into an interesting scenario where a manufacturer will use the quarantine scrap action if there is any question the item may be damaged, then a QA process occurs and sometimes the item is deemed to be fine and can be moved back into finished goods. The easy solution was to do an inventory transfer out of the quarantine scrap location into the finished goods location which works, but the client needs the qty scrapped value on the production order to update: So I started trying to do negative amounts on the scrap line of the move transaction:This seems to work from a financials standpoint (clears out the scrap expense entry) but it does not effect the inventory qty located in my default scrap location. All material is being backflushed in this scenario. Any help appreciated,

How to link a sales order to a production order when the numbering sequence for the production order are set to manual numbering?

2022R1: The numbering sequence for production orders is set to manual numbering. A sales order is created for the item to be manufactured. A production order is manually created for the the item (since you can’t create a production order from the sales order, or use the “Create Production Orders” process when the numbering sequence is set to Manual). The production order status is PLANNED, the sales order status is OPEN.When I go to the Production Order Maintenance>Reference tab and click on “Link Sales Order”, the sales order is not found, and therefore can’t be linked.When I go to the Sales Order and click “Link Prod Order”, the Production Order is listed, but the checkbox will not remain selected - to clarify, after the checkbox is clicked, it is automatically cleared during processing.Is there a way to make this link when manual numbering is set for production orders?

Negative Move not creating negative Material Issues for Backflushed Non-Stock items

Good afternoon all,Usually, when negative Moves are created, corresponding negative Material Issues are correctly created for backflushed Stock Items. Otherwise, the WIP will be overinflated when Material is re-backflushed.However, this does not appear to happen for backflushed Non-Stock items.Is there a way to enable backflushed Non-Stock items to generate negative Material issues similar to Stock Items?Repeatedly creating -1, +1, -1, +1 quantity moves at the same operation with one backflushed Stock Item (cost 573.2) and one backflushed Non-Stock Item (cost 3,700).Each -1 / +1 move is correctly reversing and reissuing the Stock Item cost, but not the Non-Stock cost, causing additional 3,700 cost to be entered into WIP each time.

MFG Scan Material - How to scan multiple stock items for the give operation?

On Scan Material screen, the system requires the user to scan:Order Type - Optional Prod Order Number Operation WH - Optional Location Inventory IDOnce the Inventory ID is scanned, the Scan Material screen resets to “scan the order type” prompt. This means if a user needs to issue multiple stock items to the same operation, they need to go through 3 scans again before they arrive to the scan inventory ID prompt. Is there a better way to bulk scan multiple stock items IDs for the given operation?
