Work Center Dispatch - Add Link to Report Move

Has anyone attempted to add a link at the line level to the Work Center Dispatch screen where an shop employee could simply click a blue link and it would preload the Move form with production order type, production order id, and operation id? Then all the user would need to do is enter the quantity complete and quantity scrapped and release the Move transaction. Even better, if an editable field could be added at the line level for the user to enter quantity complete / quantity scrapped, and then a blue link that would auto-complete the Move in the background. I’m attempting to reduce the level of effort for shop employees (many computer illiterate) to report completed work by making it as simple as possible to complete Moves on on a computer screen. I have attempted to enable Mass Actions - it sort of works, but can only load one record at a time into the Move form. I also attempted a navigation target with no success there.

Production Orders - Warranty Tracking

In our legacy system before we migrated to Acumatica, we could tack warranty expenses relating to a specific production order. I have not found anyway to do this in Acumatica. Currently, we expense any warranty cost to a GL so we can keep track of overall warranty expenses. But, it would be nice to be able to attribute a warranty expense to a production order in some manner other than noting the Production Number or SN in the description or the expense transaction. Has anyone had the same thoughts or found a solution/ISV to solve this problem?

Unlinking a Sales Order from a Production Order

Is it possible to unlink a production order (RO A) from a Sales Order (SO A)? I know I can delete the Production Order but it is already in process and I would rather not disassemble. We decided to reallocate a different Production Order (RO B) of the same item to Sales Order A to get the order out quickly but we can not create a shipment because RO A is not completed yet. Any ideas?

Time Clock Hardware for Manufacturing Data Collection

Looking for a Time Clock device that is compatible with Acumatica for employees to clock-in/clock-out of manufacturing work orders. This is possible with the Acumatica APP with an android scanner such as the TC21. But it is not practical for a shop of 20+ production employees who are clocking in and out of production orders often. It requires the user to login to the application. It is clunk and time consuming. We need the employee to be able to scan a badge and WO barcode to clock-in and out of work orders. This is nothing new to the manufacturing world. https://www.acumatica.com/cloud-erp-software/manufacturing-management/manufacturing-data-collection/ Based on Acumatic-Automated-Data-Capture-ADC-Playbook.pdf it sounded like this would be no problem. But, we have yet to find anyone who can recommend a time clock that will work for this application. Summary from the Acumatica PDF: TIME CAPTUREMany time clock applications can beconfigured to collect data for shop floorlabor reporting,

Can't Clock Out - Cant Add Data into AMClockTran DAC

We are trying to hunt down an issue that pops up with a user being unable to clock out. When you go to clock entry, find the production order, and the user it returns the current clocked in step. When you click clock out it spins for a sec and doesnt nothing. When you go to trace it says Cant add data into AmClockTranDac. However, if the user puts in a qty of 1, it will work. This seems to happen most frequently to this one user. I have looked at her employee record and user rights and they are similar to other users in the team. Any thoughts?

Possible to use Non-Stock Kit within a production order?

From what I’ve read through on Non-Stock items with Kit Specifications, it is mostly intended for sales orders and purchase order documents, but we have a case where would like to use it within a BOM and production order so that it calls out the underlying items specified and not having to use a kit stock item or full production order to mfg these items. When testing it out, the production detail seems to only call out the kit and not the underlying items with the production order / MRP. Has anyone had success in doing this?

MRP, Linked Sales Orders and Scheduled Production

My client links all sales order to production. Each sales order line has a promise date and ship date. The ship date is the date that production needs to be completed. They are using APS to schedule production which is properly using the ship date as the finish on constraint prior running the scheduling operations. The issue is MRP is still using the ship date as the promise date resulting in a shortage of materials for scheduled production. How do we get MRP to look at the scheduled production to properly identify material requirements? We are on 23R1 - 23.110.0025

MRP Plan Promise Dates not matching Dependent Demand

There could be a very simple solution to this that I’m not seeing, but basically, I uploaded a forecast on a Finished Good, and MRP is reacting appropriately at the Finished Good level: Action Dates for Finished Good item For this Finished Good, I have a corrugated shipper in the BOM, but all of the MRP Planned demand for the shipper fall on the same date: Action Dates for the corrugated shipper I have opened up all calendars and played around with preferences for about 2 hours (fatigue may be my issue at this point), but does anyone know why my Promise Dates would all fall on the same date when the Finished Good demand is spread out? (Lead time for 966414 is set to 14 days). Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Where to enter planned labour costs on production orders/BOM

Can someone please confirm where we enter our planned labour costs on a BOM? Our original BOMs were set up by a consultant and it was never explained to us where to enter this information. From my searching I think it is ‘run time’ on the work centres on a BOM. Is this correct?If it is, we assume a production order adds all work centre run times together to get the planned labour time on a production order?

Copy Production Details to Bill of Materials

Is there currently no way to copy a completed Production Details to a new Bill of Materials? I could export and import, but that seems like an unnecessary hassle. You can copy production details to another production details or save as a template. But I do not see a way to copy Production Details to a new Bill of Materials. You can also reference a previous production order as the “Source” but that does not help with estimating current material and labor cost unless we go through the trouble of creating a plan type production order. For custom jobs, sometimes we have to adjust the production details on the fly and we would like to be able to easily save and copy those details if we need to copy the job.

MRP Requirement By Item(AM401200)

My company is new to Acumatica, and we are having challenges with the MRP Requirements Screen. We have over 200 FG skus to plan and we would like to see an aggregate view of Supply vs. Demand. If we use a Bucket ID with a calendar starting today: This screen does not show past due Actual Demand (Customer orders) or Supply (Purchase orders)-then the Ending Quantity goes negative If we use negative periods to capture the past due Demand and Supply: The screen takes the current OH as the starting inventory(Begin Qty) in the past, then we get a different Net Qty and En Qty My experience with other MRP planning screens it to roll the past due open sales orders and past due purchase/production orders) into today’s bucket and calculate ending inventory from today onward. Past dues orders still need to be dealt with via exceptions messages. Time buckets should be in Calander dates and not rolling. Is anyone else struggling with the functionality of this screen?

Outside Processing - Multiple Purchase Orders for same outside Process across Production Orders

Hi Everyone, Is there the ability to consolidate multiple purchase orders for multiple production orders into 1 Purchase order? For example: A client has an Outside process: 10 production orders needing “heat treatment” (an outside process) can be tied to one PO with 10 lines instead of 10 POs each with one line

Data Capture from third party software during production run

Hey all! Hope someone has implemented a similar solution to a problem I am struggling with. We are still in the implementation phase of Acumatica at this facility, and at this time my ‘decision makers’ are insisting we use kits rather than a production run due to the way our BOMS are set up. Parallel to this upgrade, we are implementing a new scale system in one phase of our manufacturing facility. We need to capture 4 fields, the tare weight, the net weight, the gross weight, and the sequential “box number” of that run. This is a proof of concept for creating end to end transparency and visibility for QC in our tobacco products as they are assembled between 3 companies on 2 tenants. We’ve discussed adding attributes to the kit assembly and using lot/serial numbers but realized that in both the production and kit assembly these are not created until either the assembly of the kit, or the completion of the production run. Nor are these attributes presented within the webservice endpoint

Recording Scrap in BOM from the length of a product

Hello Community,I have a requirement where one of our prospects have iron bars as their raw materials. They have a scenario where if they are using 10 bars all of 6m in lengths. Now some of these 6m bars might have scratches etc and they would like to record it as a part of scrap. Hence, for these 10 units of bars they would like to record a scrap of around 10%. How can we record such a scenario in Acumatica in BOM.Also would like to know if I would be creating a BOM → Product Configurator, would Production part be required to be covered in such a scenario? Thanks in advance.

Non Standard Parts

Allow non-standards to allow quick and easy data entry from Sales Order to Purchase Order to Production Bom. Different from Non-Stock. Non-stock means I have to first setup and/or import into the Non-Stock table before using in a Sales Order, Purchase Order, or Production BOM. For a non standard to be used on a Sales Order this would require either the part would have to be a make (requiring a production order), purchase to a sales order or to a Production Order due to being non-inventory. For a production order, this would allow direct download into the BOM requiring any non standard parts to have to be purchased and/or made (make) via a production order. If I continually use non-stock items, I am having to enter all the parts first as non-stock and then bringing into the production BOM. Other option is to use one Non-stock part number and update the description to change the BOM parts not exactly the best to calculate and capture costs. The part could only be used one time.

(2) Employees scanning the same prodcution order at the same time

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.

How to enable Scan Move, Scan Material, Scan Labour

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?

Infinite Capacity Production Planning

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

Rough Cut Planning - Work Center Schedule, Production order timing

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.

Pre-Populate SO Line serial numbers before production

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.

Forecast not creating MRP demand for components

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
