We have 25R2 and when we create a vendor shipment for a Production Order, if material is not in OI-WIP at that time, the material shows 0 on the Material Move of the Production Order once the vendor shipment is confirmed even though we transfer the material from a bin location to OI-WIP prior to confirming the vendor shipment.We now have about 5 vendor shipments that show On Hold, yet the Production Orders are completed.  Material is NOT being taken out of inventory even though the vendor shipment does have the quantities shipped on them.Has anyone else had this issue?  If so, do you know a fix?

Hi Acumatica Community,Is there a way to restrict the release of a Move transaction if there is no related Material Transaction?The requirement is to ensure that, upon releasing the Move transaction, the system recognizes the materials used in the production.We would like to prevent the Move transaction from being released if no Material Transaction has been created or released for the production.We would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations on how to achieve this requirement in Acumatica.Thank you!

Do the Multiple Production Clock Entry transactions ever fall off the list? Also, is it possible for an employee to use the “Clock Entry” screen and the “Multiple Production Clock Entry Screen” for recording labor? 

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.

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!I am using standard cost as the valuation method for all my items. I have three BOMs, where one final product of the BOM becomes the component of another BOM.The level 2 & 1 refers to the same warehouse, but level 0 refers to another warehouse (Including the material). I want to roll cost for Multi-level, and for level 2&1 it takes the newly calculated standard cost for the next level material cost except for the level 0 as it refers to another warehouse. in another term level 0 material cost always refer to the current standard cost of the item-warehouse. I use same standard cost across all the warehouses. While keeping the above set-up, how should I complete the cost-roll up process? I feel like this cannot be achieved by cost rolling up once at multi-level. Thank You  

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! 

Is anyone on 26R1, who uses the 24 hour clock vs the 12 hour clock, finding an issue with it not allowing a labor transaction to be under the 24 hour clock vs the 12. I have checked all the local system settings and profile, along with the AM101000 screen setting but its not working as it did in 24R2. My assumption is they are forcing this change or a bug.  

When my purchaser creates a purchase order from a production order it understandably creates a single line on the order for the total amount needed of that item for the production order. Currently our process involves lowering the quantity on that first line and breaking the total quantity out into several lines of that same item so that we can put in different promise dates for each line of the PO. When I or my purchaser go back to the production order details and click PO link, the new line appears but the checkbox to link it is inaccessible. Is there a way to make this accessible?  

Hi,We recently implemented Acumatica and have identified a gap in our materials control process. We understand the transactional steps involved in PO receipts and issuing materials to production orders, but we're unclear on what should trigger the material issue/release process.Specifically, we're trying to understand how a Materials Controller would know when newly received materials need to be issued to active production orders.Is there a standard screen, inquiry, report, or Generic Inquiry that can be reviewed daily to identify:Materials that have been received into stock Open production orders requiring those materials Any material shortages or items awaiting issueWe're looking for a practical way for the Materials Controller to manage and prioritise material releases to production on a day-to-day basis.Any guidance on the recommended Acumatica process would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Hi Acumatica Community,I am facing an issue with Acumatica Modern UI customization.I have a custom screen where I need to perform some UI/business logic when a new row is added to a grid. I have implemented the logic using the RowSelected event of the DAC.The behavior is different between Classic UI and Modern UI:In Classic UI, RowSelected is triggered as expected. In Modern UI, when I click Add New Record and a new row is created, the expected RowSelected event is not triggered. The event works in other scenarios, such as when selecting or navigating through existing records.

Has anyone implemented a process in Acumatica to track machine changeover time between SKUs?Currently, we only log labor hours against Production Orders and do not track machine setup or changeover time separately. As a result, it becomes difficult to reconcile machine runtime and downtime hours against employee labor hours and understand overall equipment utilization.I'm interested in learning how others have approached this. Specifically:Do you track changeover time separately from production labor? Are machine downtime and setup hours recorded in Acumatica? What processes or customizations have you implemented to capture and report on this data?Any recommendations or examples would be appreciated.

Hi community,We are using Acumatica Manufacturing Edition and facing an issue on the Labor / AM301000 screen.We want to prevent shop floor operators (e.g., Laser Cut operators) from reporting labor on operations assigned to other Work Centers (e.g., Press or Packaging).Currently, when an operator enters a Production Order, the lookup selector shows all operations for that order (e.g., 0010 Laser, 0020 Press, 0030 Packing). Operators occasionally select the wrong operation by mistake, leading to incorrect labor reporting.We tried: Setting up shared filters/tabs on the Dispatch Center, but the lookup in AM301000 still shows all operations. Checking Restriction Groups, but Work Centers (AM) do not seem to be available as a restriction entity in standard CS102000. Is there a standard, no-code way (via Business Events, Generic Inquiries, or configuration settings) to restrict or filter the Operation ID lookup in AM301000 based on the logged-in user or their assigned Work Center?Thanks in

Quick question about the new Inventory release process introduced in 25R2: does the setting apply to a Tenant or the entire Instance when selected in the Production Preferences screen? We are interested in the feature, but of course we will need to test it to ensure compatibility with our workflows and customizations. The warning on the release notes is giving me pause:I don’t want to make a permanent change if it will break our manufacturing processes over in our production tenant. Thank you for any insight you can provide,

Hi Everyone We are having an issue with rounding up purchase quantity from required quantity on Purchase Order.  For exampleInventory Item: Metal Sheet (Each Sheet is 2.5 sqm)Base Unit: SQMPurchase Unit : EA“Qty Roundup” under manufacturing only applies to required quantity in base unit.  Say 12.9 sqm of metal sheet is required for a production order. It generates a Purchase Order for 5.16 sheets. (We need the Purchase Order to round up the quantity to an integer, in this case 6 sheets.)  We tried implementing lot size as 2.5 in both 1) inventory - replenishment and 2) bill of material - lot.It didn’t seem to work. Could you please suggest a solution? Is customisation the only way?  Thanks in advance. 

Is it possible to use product configurator in Disassembly production order. I tried to do it but system is not displaying the configurator information to that we have configurator for this item and I am able to create normal Production order with the configurator.  

Has anyone out there attempted to allow users to view 3D CAD Files (.step) attached to a BOM or Production Order from within their browser?  I assume we would have to use a cloud based file management system that integrates with Acumatica.Only other option I see for Acumatica-initiated viewing is to download the files to the local machine, then use a free 3D CAD viewer software, like eDrawings (Solidworks).Obviously we can use a server directory, but the user would need to search the directory for the part number based on the Inventory ID from the Production Order.

Our client is using Estimating module and create estimate from Opportunity.The Amount on the opportunity header however is not populated from Estimate, only from items added in tab Details. Example below: only standard item priced at $1000 gets added into Amount.Is this by design and is this correct?How can I see the correct potential sales of my opportunity of the Amount does not include my Estimate?   

Our team buys and receives inventory in advance directly to the project before a production order even exists (pre-purchasing/stocking for the job). Because of this advance procurement step, we cannot use the "Mark for PO" option from the production order materials tab.When we create a standalone Purchase Order directly to a specific project and task, the system strips our project ID during the Purchase Receipt release, defaulting the inventory lines straight to our non-project fallback code (Project 800). Similarly, during production execution, our WIP debits hit the project perfectly, but the inventory credits fall back to 800.To solve this, we tried setting up a fresh test project with "Track by Project Quantity and Cost" enabled. However, it still fails back to Project 800.Upon digging deeper, we noticed a weird configuration mismatch:The global Project-Specific Inventory feature flag is definitely checked and enabled on our Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) screen. However, when

Is it possible to delete an activated Product Configurator? Is there a way to delete the Product Configurator that was created in the Pilot tenant, When the Production tenant was created, the Product Configurator was copied from the Pilot tenant to Production. However, these Configurators do not have any Production transactions associated with them. I want to delete those transaction but system is not allowing to delete.

Running 2025R2We recently discovered that the values set on the Inventory Planning Settings Tab are not being respected by MRP when a Vendor(s) is defined on the Vendors tab of the stock item.    The values set for Min/Max/Lot on the Vendor tab overrides what is defined on the inventory planning settings tab.  Here is a screen Shot showing what we have set on the stock item​​​Here is what the inventory planning display is showing.The above screen shots came from a stock item that had a vendor set,  but the Min/Max/Lot on that vendor line were set to zero which is what was passed through to MRP.  Result was that our purchasing group only purchased the exact demand needed (40) versus the min inventory plan of 600 because MRP provided the recommendation of 40. It is our opinion that the logic behind this is flawed.   We believe that the Inventory Planning Setting values should always be respected by MRP.  The values on the Vendor line of the Stock item should NOT influence the MRP plannin

I’ve noticed over the years that a string like .../(W(104))/… can be found in URLS, but I’ve never been able to determine what this indicates.  I can create a link without this section of the URL, however it resolves back with a number when the site comes up.  Can someone help me understand?

Is it possible to override the default WIP account in a production order when using a labor transaction? I need to hit a COGS for shop labor GL and not a manufactured products/material GL account. Reason being, the GL account for labor is in the account group for a labor line in the project cost budget. The default WIP is linked to the the materials line item in the cost budget. So I am having to post an extra project transaction that reclasses from materials line to labor. I would like to avoid this if possible. If there is a better way to get hours/dollars into production orders and accomplish the same, I’m open to that as well. I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard and I’m fighting the system. 

We have a group of products offered with a single variant (color) where the color is simple to change in production. Many of the other components have long lead times and would benefit from the use of Dependent Forecasts in MRP/Inventory Planning I’m trying to figure out how to load a dependent forecast for a single item (ITEM-A) that has an identical BOM to a group of products (ITEM-B to ITEM-G) so that sales orders for any of the group of items is consumed against the forecast For example, imagine I enter a Forecast for a period of 10-units, and we take sales orders for the same amount in that period, but the color variants are different. How can we configure this to consume the forecast and net out to zero?Inventory ID Forecast Sales Order ITEM-A 10 2 ITEM-B   4 ITEM-C   3 ITEM-D   1  As configured, it appears Inventory Planning will expect a total demand of the 10 forecasted -2 on SO of ITEM-A (8 Total) + an additional 8 units from the other variants on sal
