Manufacturing

We are an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) company where Available-to-Promise (ATP) dates are critical to our customers. These dates depend on multiple factors, including supplier lead times, manufacturing cycle times, shipping, and also engineering/design time.We are exploring ways to better incorporate engineering capacity into our scheduling and ATP calculations.Has anyone modeled Engineering as a work center within Acumatica to account for design capacity and better reflect its impact on delivery dates?If so, how was it configured, and did it effectively improve ATP accuracy? Are there alternative approaches within Acumatica to include engineering lead time and capacity constraints in the planning process?Thank you Daniel Lago

One of our clients recently went live on Acumatica and are struggling with easily logging time against multiple production orders at once. They are on 22.212.0046. The Multiple Clock Entry screen gets them close to what they need, but isn’t efficient for their shop floor team at all. They need to be able to select all production orders that are associated with a single sales order, clock into a work center, and then clock out of that work center. Ideally this could be done on the mobile app and via scanning, but that’s not supported. I tried exposing the Multiple Clock Entry screen on mobile but could not get it to be selectable when trying to add to a mobile workspace. (is there a step I’m missing here, or is this screen not supported on mobile?) With the browser interface, they can use column filters to select only the sales order and only the work centers they need, but they would still have to individually select all the lines to clock into -- there should be a “select all” option

Hi Team, through testing, we've confirmed:Delegation only works if the delegate is already listed as an authorized approver (in the Approval Map or Workgroup) for that step. Delegating to someone outside the map/workgroup has no effect - they can't see or act on the item, even though the delegation is saved. If a person is already a listed approver/workgroup member, they can approve on a colleague's behalf regardless of whether delegation was set up at all - simply because they're already authorized. This raises the question: what scenario is Delegation actually solving, if a Workgroup member doesn't need to be delegated to act, and a non-Workgroup member can't act even if delegated?Is Delegation intended for a narrower use case - for example, routing to a specific single person outside the group (rather than "any workgroup member"), or perhaps intended for approval maps that use a single named Employee approver (not Workgroup-based) so there's normally no built-in backup? Any clarific

Does anybody have an import scenario for the product configurator?

Hi, While releasing “Materials” transaction for Non-stock items , no inventory transactions (issue transactions) get recorded however for “Purchase Receipt” there is inventory transaction (receipt) get created. Is it expected behavior or I am missing something ? I have observed that scenario in 25R1. Please help me 

We have an issue where our team processed a production Move transaction for the incorrect qty. and work order closed. Finished goods is now overstated and raw/pack understated. What is the best way to return and deconstruct some of that product to reduce our FG and increase the Raw/Packs?

Does anyone know of a way to generate production tickets from MRP for the total quantities that are in demand for an item.  Currently it is showing the same item multiple times and if you generate tickets it will create one by one instead of a sum of the quantity.  If we manually sum the qty and create a work order for that quantity, mrp still shows the demand one by one until it’s complete.  Quite cumbersome to keep on track.  Any suggestions?

We are implementing MRP / Inventory Planning / Production Orders / Bill of Materials in 25R2.  I want to exclude certain sales order types from creating demand.  I am not seeing anything in inventory planning preferences or in the order types to exclude from demand which was part of the original ask.  I do see on certain order types there is the include returns in inventory planning supply. Our use case is the company runs in multiple ways, we have production / manufacturing where we are using Inventory Planning we have those Sales Orders set up as a type where we allow production to be triggered, but we have plenty of other order types that we use in the Construction side of the business to move warehouse materials to site and we do NOT want those orders being included in our demand requirements.  Anyone else run into a similar issue?  How did you resolve?  My inventory ID can be used in BOM’s or Projects.  Warehouse locations are able to mark for IP use, but the Sales Order does not

We are having an issue attempting to partially ship an SO line linked to a partially completed production order.  Work order/SO quantity is 100, we have 50 complete.  Selecting the SO line shows 50 on hand/ available / available for shipping, but none allocated.  Line details shows the below, which looks strange from what I recall in the past.  This hasn’t been an issue in the past but we recently upgraded to 25.201.0213.2 and this isn’t something we do often so wondering if it is a bug or some obscure setting that now needs to be changed.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks,Dan

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?

25R2 Manufacturers: If you have any non-base UOM Materials called out in In Process Production Orders, take a look at Inventory Allocation Details.  You may find that the system is not recognizing that demand, potentially causing Inventory Planning errors.Any manufacturers out there experiencing this?Development acknowledged it as a bug, but we’re the lone reporters at this point: AC-377609.

We have a client that does a lot of custom one off work, and they often reuse the same inventory ID, so they do not have to create 100000 inventory id that they will never use. They are using estimates, so everything gets built out to meet the needs of their customer, but when they go to add it in to the project, it will not allow for duplicates on the project task. They don’t really want to create multiple project tasks, as it duplicates a lot of their work flows. Ideally we would be able to utilize configurations, but configurations and estimates don’t play nicely, especially since there are a lot of outside processes and unknown charges that they need to then flow down.The workaround that they have come up with is to have duplicate inventory ID (remove and replace1, remove and replace 2, etc) so that they can add everything to the project task and group everything together.Not ideal, but better than creating a bazillion part numbers. 

Does anyone know why as an Admin I cannot see al the user activates within the company? I am trying to then assign workgroups for department leads to review team activity but step1 - I cannot see them myself. Thanks   

When performing a mass multi‑level cost roll, Acumatica doesn't recalculate bill levels for manufactured items from other branches or update their costs in the receiving branch’s assembly. It simply uses the existing standard cost.As a workaround, the mass cost roll process must be run twice. The first run does not pull the most recent standard cost from the sending branch, resulting in an inaccurate assembly cost in the receiving branch. The second run then captures the correct sending‑branch cost and updates the assembly cost appropriately.Can the cost roll process be corrected instead of repeating the mass cost roll process?

Hello all,How can I generate MRP consolidated out of all demands under a single row?

Hello all,The Completed qty is still 0 even after releasing Move transaction:  

The Create Production Orders screen is sometimes including sales order lines that already have a linked production order.  This seems to occur when the first production order is on an In Process status and has been partially completed.  The new production order is for the remaining quantity.This is a big concern in a Make to Order scenario where Create Production Orders is automated.  It can lead to over production of costly custom ordered product.  We have opened a support case and this has been documented as a bug.  In order to prioritize this for development, it would be helpful to identify if others are having this same issue.There is a similar known issue which was documented here and is considered resolved.  We are seeing this issue in 2025 R1.Thanks in advance!

Based on testing in 25R2, using Generate Orders for Subassembly pegs the Constraint Date to the Parent Order Start Date (not the individual Operation Start Dates) for the Subassembly orders that are generated.The Due Date is smart enough to look at the Operation Start Date for when the Painted Assembly is actually needed, but Due Date has no impact in the Generate Orders for Subassembly action.We’d like the Constraint Dates for the child orders to be pegged to the OPERATION start date, not the ORDER start date.  Is there a configuration we’re missing?  We do not use APS.Other areas of the system seem to look at OPERATION start date to determine Constraint Dates/Promise Dates/Demand Dates.  I know on the Order Type you can force the MRP system to “Use Order Start Date for MRP”, which pegs all Constraint dates to the ORDER start date, but there is no setting for generating production orders that says “Use Order Start Date [for pegging demand dates]”.  This behavior seems inconsistent wit

I’m getting the below error when trying to Close a Production Order: Error: Updating 'Production Item Split' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors.Specify the quantity greater than 0.    Which screen/section should I review to find the split line with 0 quantity? What is the recommended fix for old production orders where the split record has 0 qty (update split, clear allocation, add a completion, etc.)?

Hi all,We're piloting outside processing (subcontracting) in Acumatica for manufacturing and ran into a gap while testing: Vendor Shipments don't seem to be supported in the mobile Pick, Pack & Ship / WMS scanning flow the way Sales Order shipments and PO receipts are.This matters a lot for us because many of our items look very similar to each other, and scanning the barcode to confirm we're shipping the correct item is a critical control for us — doing it manually on the desktop screen increases the risk of picking/shipping the wrong item.Questions for the community:1. Has anyone built a customization to expose the Vendor Shipment screen to the mobile app framework (similar to how Shipments/SO302000 can be exposed for scanning), so it can be scanned like a regular shipment?2. Is there a known ISV product that supports scanning/confirming Vendor Shipments for outside processing in Acumatica specifically?3. Is this on Acumatica's product roadmap for the WMS module?Any pointers, wor

Hello, group,Long time listener, first time caller… We’re just getting started using the Rough Cut Planning and Production Schedule Board Modules and we’re wondering if there is a way to easily export the Production Schedule Boards. It’s old-school, but while we’re learning the tool, I would like each plant to print the Production Schedule Boards out for their Production Teams to review until we are fully comfortable with the tool and can display on a large monitor. We’re on release 2025 R1.  Thanks...

Hello all,I have a scenario, where I would like to manufacture my FG either from Site A or Site B. So based on my Machine availability and MRP planning, I would like to have the option/suggestion from Acumatica as to from where shall I move to Produce my FG, whether it is from Site A or Site B.Is this possible in Acumatica? If so, how? Would be grateful for your guidances and inputs.

We just recently updated to version 2024R2 and since then have found our MRP generation is not consuming the forecasted demand.  For instance our forecast for January 2025 has already been consumed by SO that exceed our forecast.  However, MRP is planning to the original forecasted demand.

I am trying to figure out why my WIP report AM654000 is not corresponding to my WIP GL its not like i have multiple WIP accounts I have 1 but the ending balance on the GL is way less that the balance on the WIP report

When entering a Clock Entry for Production Orders, the Order Type dropdown displays "No Value", even though there are two Production Order Types configured in the system.In the Mobile App, the Order Type is automatically populated based on the Default Order Type specified in Production Preferences. However, when creating the Clock Entry through the application, the system is not displaying the available Order Types and instead shows "No Value" in the dropdown. As a result other order type production Nbr is not visible in production Nbr field.Could you please confirm whether this behavior is expected and advise why the configured Production Order Types are not being displayed for selection?we can select the order type when we enter the Clock entry in web browser from drop down menu
