Plan Order Type error in Inventory Planning

Working on using replenishment. However the message references a screen we don’t have access too. I believe that module was turned off in enable/disable, but Inventory Planning Should still work. Is this just a bug?

Inventory Planning Display as a Generic Inquiry

Hello! We are a manufacturing company, and we currently use the Inventory Planning Display screen to view what finished goods need to be manufactured in order to meet sales orders and safety stock. I would like to have the same information pulled as a generic inquiry (no actions, obviously) for the potential to utilize it with business events for production planning down the road while also using it to build a dashboard. Has anyone ever tried to make the Inventory Planning Display as a GI? Could I see how it was created? Thanks!

Clock Entry Approval error - Labor Transaction Already exists

Hello,We are getting an error when trying to approve clock entries, :The clock entry cannot be approved because a labor transaction with the NNN number has already been created for this clock entry.These clock entries are time applied to production orders.I thought that clock entries didn’t go into a batch until they were approved. Is that correct?How can I get past this error?

Struggling with Backflush

Few questions as it relates to backflushing of materials against a production order:How does the system flag us if we do not have enough stock of items marked for backflush? In our current model (without use of backflush), we utilize a warning message on Move transactions. This warning message flags us that there are unreleased materials to be issued. This is great as it ensures all material gets issued. Now that we have certain items marked for Backflush, all these items appear in the warning message - making it impossible to decipher which will be issued during the Move transaction (backflush) and which are true unreleased materials. Is there a way to use warning message while omitting backflushed items?

SOLine cost for configured item

Depending on valuation method, SOLine cost is either last cost or average cost. For highly variable configured items, that doesn't work well and throws off margin calculations. Is there a way to cost an item based on the configuration, similar to what the configurator does for item price.

Product Configuration Maintenance

Set up a Configuration Maintenance for model 7 X 16-TA. Needed to change it but it’s not allowed and can’t delete it. Created a new version and market old version as “inactive.” System either will only recognize original version or give an error: Have tried all combinations and Set Active one as Default Configuration. New version tested out fine. Just will not allow use in Sales Order.What am I missing?Thanks.

Finding the data trail of production order details

We have, what probably is, a unique situation. We are trying to find all the data that goes into creating the production order details from the product configurator where we have used Phantom material types in BOMs past just one layer. What this results in is if we have Phantom’d on top of another Phantom, we only see the level up Phantom BOM. Is there somewhere in the background that we would be able to see all the data and return it to a table? Here is an example:A - Configured Product (This is Item getting produced) B - Option Chosen in Configurator (Phantom Item) C-Item in Item B BOM, (Phantom) C1-Item in Item C BOM (Phantom) C1.1- Item in Item C1 BOM (Regular) D-Item in Item B BOM (Phantom) D1-Item in Item D BOM (Phantom) D1.1 - Item in Item D1 BOM (Regular) E- Item in Item B BOM (Phantom) E1-Item in Item E BOM (Phantom

Excludes some orders/Order Types from MRP

We are working through some orphaned data in our system from our conversion. This data is all from 2022. I hoped there was a way to use buckets or something else to exclude this data from everything else ( or ignore it altogether). This is throwing our MRP numbers off and reconciling these orders is happening, but is time consuming,

Duplicate Lines on Sales Order report when adding Qty Allocated

I’m working on a GI that will have show in a line or partial line on a sales order is allcated. We use the Product Configurator so if we have a order with 10 configured products on it and one of the 1 is allocated the report will show a line for the one that is allocated and separate line for the 9 that are not. i can’t see to find the table name for the “Line Details” table on the SOLine that shows if a item is allocated or not and if that is the right table.I’m currently using the SOLineSplilt and getting the duplicates. Below are the Relations that i currently have but i have changed each one to no avail. any help would be much apricated.Our Production Team uses this report to keep track of what they have and have not build and sent to shipping. Shipping allocates the Non Configured Products and the Production Order auto allocates them as they are completed on the Prod. Ord. either way they drop off the Production list to build.

Manufacturing REST API Endpoint Documentation?

Hi,I’ve been able to login, logout, create sales order, etc. I’m not new to REST or ODATA development but I’ve only been using Acumatica API for the last few months. I’m looking for documentation, a postman collection or both that describes the MANUFACTURING endpoint. I’ve already found the DEFAULT endpoint docs. I’m also aware of the Web Services Endpoints screen which is my only “docs” at the moment.Have the Acumatica REST API reference docs really omitted the whole MANUFACTURING Endpoint and everything it contains? Perhaps it is just that I don’t know where to find them?I’m used to companies like Hubspot and others who document their products. I’ve managed to get a 200 OK from a request of the ProductionOrder endpoint through guessing and trial and error. That’s not that unusual with such API development but it would have been helpful not to be as in the dark. However, I haven’t yet attempted ProductionOrderDetail endpoint and I’ll be trying that soon. I believe my development would

Sales Order Marked for Production Secondary Production Order

Is there a way to have a secondy production order generated that is linked to a sales order line? For example if we enter a sales order line that calls for 10 units to be produced and production closes the order after only completing 5. (Or if production scrapped 5 units) Can another production order automatically generate for the remining 5 units required to complete the sales order line? Thanks

Backflush Materials by Location

Hi to everyone.Can anyone help me?A few days ago I activated the backflow of materials, we work with different warehouses and each warehouse has locations, therefore, each location manages inventories.I release production orders for specific locations of the same warehouse, my logic would be that when materials are consumed, they would be from the location where the work is being done, but when I check the materials that were consumed, I see that they are consumed from different locations.Is there a way to force it to only take components from a single location? For example, this order should be working on the location 46-99-1-A-1 These are my production settings:

Update Average Cost for Stock Items

I am trying to update the average cost for stock items that were migrated into Acumatica without an average cost. To do this, I did a quantity adjustment with Ext Cost what I want the average cost to be and the quantity zero. I am getting the following error. I tried doing this again with a quantity of 1 which worked, but then when I did the adjustment for a quantity of -1 to make our actualy on hand inventory accurate the average cost went back to zero. How do I update the average cost for a stock item without changing the quantity on hand?

Please advise if the setting is elsewhere. Thanks...

Closing a router with labor not release yet

I’m trying to closed production orders. Some of the productions routers have labor from mid 2023. The routers that the outstanding labor are from former staff who no longer work here. They are still clocked in and when I try to clock them out the following error is generated. “Error: Inserting “Clock Transaction” raised at least one error. Please review the errors: The financial period is closed in the company” Does accounting have to re-open the financial period? Is there a way to delete the labor?

Manufacturing Module Must Haves

I do not plan to attend Summit this year, but wanted to generate some discussion around what I feel are critical “must-haves” for manufacturers (perhaps that could be asked in the “Ask Us Anything Manufacturing” session at Summit), especially those with configurable products, deep BOMs and complex manufacturing processes:Engineering Change module to include the ability to tie together changes in multiple BOMs under one ECO. Production module to include a formal, documented Production Change Order process. Our production process is very involved and spans 3-4 weeks. We often have change orders where we need to swap out several parts and change operations, and we would like to have a formal, documented process showing original specs, changes, and final specs. Would be interested to know Acumatica’s native configurator roadmap - are significant renovations in the future? We’ve heard from multiple sources that Acumatica’s native configurator is a weaker product. If no significant renov

Item not Allocating after both Production Order and Move Transaction Completed

I have an item on a Sales Order that we are trying to ship out. I created a move transaction and completed it with no issue but it does not show up in the Allocated qty on the sales order. When I went to go manually allocate this item, I see that the Related Document is still the Production Order itself and not the move transaction and the item does not allocate manually through the Line Details either. How do I go about getting this onto the shipment? We have shipped 4/5 already and are looking to ship the final 1. Line 8 is the line in question.Thank you!
