Manufacturing

Is it possible to have a part default in the configuration?  We have a client who uses the same door 95% of the time but needs the option to select a different door.

We have an automation schedule that prints our shipping labels every minute after the shipments have been confirmed.  These prints are sent to our zebra printers and usually work without issue.  Some cases the label does not print and there is no error.How can we reprint a label for a confirmed shipment?  If we can identify which print job it is we can reprint it that way, but there is no way to preview the label and there are no identifiers in the print job screen to know which label is correct

Production detail includes backflushed non-stock items for outwork so that the value of outwork is included in finished goods. Detail Lines are marked for PO and POs will be created from the production order. This does not work unless the non-stock item is not flagged to require receipt. You can create a purchase order outside of the production order as normal. There is no need to receipt the PO, it will be matched to an AP invoice. How to create POs from production orders for non-stock items without PO Receipting ? 

Can i add a UL label to a BOM?

hi All, we have 35 items on a sales order and we need to create a production order of 35 qty ( all in one production order). when creating a production order system only creates 1 qty production order. on the create production order pop up screen I have made sure it is 35 but still only creates 1. is there any setting we might have missed? ThanksGhazal 

Hello all,We are running 2023R1 manufacturing and we are trying to Generate Orders for Sub Assemblies from assembly Inventory ID’s, but we are coming up multiple instances of this same error.AM Error: The following error occurred when the system tried to copy the BOM: Error: An error occurred during processing of the field Inventory ID value 32369-20030 IN Error: The inventory item is a template item.Highlighted is just one of multiple Inventory ID that this error could occur on.  We do not have any templates in our system and none of the Inventory ID are template items.  Actually Matrix Items is not enabled in our system.When we look at the BOM for say this inventory ID 32369-20030 it shows a warning that 32369-20030-1 is a template item, but again this is not a template. (see image attached)When we open the stock item screen for the assembly with the warning (32369-20030-1) add a space to the description, save the stock item the warning goes away.But this does not hold and we just mo

Customer has a legitimate reason to have production order qty exactly 1. I have tried setting Min Order Qty and Max Order Qty to 1 on the manufacturing tab, but when I create a production order from a sales order line with a quantity greater than 1, I still get that quantity in a single production order, rather than multiple production orders being created with a quantity of 1.Has anyone been successful getting MFG Max Order qty to work for this scenario? No success on 24R1 nor on 23R2. 

When Creating a new item, I select Planning Method - Inventory Replenishment for planning method but then I CAN NOT enter anything in the table for Replenishment Parameters in the Inventory Planning tab.  What is the cause?

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?
