Getting unexpected results.  Anyone have any insight they can share?Both planned and actual labor are incorrect  

We encountered a glitch when receiving partial quantities:Production Order Qty 10 with Qty 10 Subcontract Material Purchase Order for Subcontract Matl Qty 10Purchase Receipt for Subcontract Matl Qty 5 (Subcontract Matl is Lot/Serial tracked to preserve costing from a specific vendor to form the PN) Move on Production Order Qty 5 (consumes backflushed Subcontract Matl Qty 5) Production Receipt only capitalizes 1/2 of the Subcontract Matl cost into the finished good.  WIP balance is correct, though.What do we have set up incorrectly?  Or is this a bug?   

We use the MRP Planning method for one of our warehouses but Inventory Planning for our replenishment from the suppliers. We used to be able to do this in the older versions but with 23R2 they have taken to function away. Does anyone know how I might be able to get around this? Here is the use case:One of our warehouses is the aftermarket warehouse. This warehouse does not replenish from the supplier unless our OEM warehouses does not carry the item sold. In most cases they are transferring items from the other warehouses to it using the MRP Display (Now Inventory Planning Display). With 23R2 you have to choose one inventory planning method for an item, and at our OEM warehouses we want to use the Inventory Planning method, but when you do that, those items fall off the MRP Display. 

Hello everyone,I need to create many purchase orders for a production order.How can I do that because the system only allows to create one purchase order and if I change the quantity, it does not suggest to create another purchase order. Thank you in advance. 

Hello, I need to specify total hours and fixed rate instead of employees ID and shift Is this option available in labor screen (AM301000) version 2023 R2 ? 

I have a question on MRP Types.  I have certain stock items that are managed on a min/max basis.  Screws, for example, I just want to maintain an inventory level but don’t really care which unit of production they go in to.  The screws are on the BOM, so when I run MRP these items show up to purchase twice.  One purchase suggestion is triggered by the Reorder Point, which is what I want.  However, another purchase suggestion is triggered by Production Material, which I don’t want.Is there a setting within the Stock Item or possibly MRP Preferences that allows me to only use Reorder Point for MRP and not Production demand for items with a Min/Max replenishment method?  

Hi,Does anyone know if there is the possibility to count the # of lines in this screen in the lower toolbar like on GI’s? We are on 22R2 but upgrading to 24R1 shortly.  

Good day everyone, Need some help or suggestions. We are on 2024R1 and the BOM ID Number is limited to 15 characters. THe Item inventroy ID came go up to 30 characters. We typiclly use the top level inventory id number to be the same as the BOM. Unfortuntily, we are running into problems.  We have over 60,000 BOM now and we growing. I am hoping for a suggestion before we start looking for an outside solution . Thank you Kim 

Is there a way to “close” multiple completed production tickets base on close date?  For example, I would like to close all completed production tickets that were completed between 01/01/2023 to 03/31/2023. 

While doing production, some quantities are scraped. A new production order should be created for such scraped quantities with reference to existing production order. Is it possible to create new production order for the scrapped quantities with reference to existing production order?

Set up:Client has 2 warehouses, MAIN and NRD All orders are shipped from MAIN, no exceptions. Certain Items are manufactured in NRD. Sales Order Lines are always created for the MAIN warehouse Sales Order Line Item is Marked for ProductionWorkflowProduction Manager (PM) creates MFG Work Order (WO) The new WO has MAIN warehouse, copied from the linked SO PM decides if the Item needs to be produced in NRD PM changes the WO warehouse to NRD System prompts the user if the SO Line should be changed to NRD PM selects NO (see step #11) At this point the WO is pointing to NRD and the SO Line to MAIN WO is completed Item is transported from NRD to MAIN and a 1-Step Inventory Transfer is released. Issue: The shipping team does not have visibility since the Order is not included in the Process Order screen SO501000 so Shipments are being missed If user opens SO to create Shipment:     Error persists even after: User unlinks the WO from the SO Line User unchecks the Mark for Production in the

Can I change the setting on the clipboard copy function, When I copy a SO it will copy everything and I don’t want the notes or date to copy over. 

Hello Community! Has anyone combined or have a way to combine the Multi Level BOM reports Engineering & Costed Into One Report? Any advice would be helpful!

Hi guys, I have been introducing the packing feature to our factory staff and training them up on this.I have been experiencing an issue where when the shipment is open, and a run of production is complete, the produced items OCCASIONALY do not allocate to the sales order and therefore cannot be added to the shipment. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks all, Aleks

Hi Guys,First timer here!We are using Acumatica version 2021 R2 Build 21.212.0039. We updated the storage locations (Default Receipt To and Default Issue From) for each stock item to read as something else other than the default value of 'Storage'. This was done through Import Scenario and the update went through without any problems and both values updated successfully. However, on checking the same list a few days later, it seems that the Default Receipt To value has reset back to read as ‘Storage’.Import Scenario How to ensure that this value does not revert back to read as Storage because from the end result, the purpose of having different locations is defeated? If this is not something that is expected, has this issue been addressed and fixed in version 2023 R2 Build 23.207.0025  (we shall be upgrading to this version soon)?Please advise.Manish

Hi everyone! I have a situation with the MRP, I hope you can help me.I have raw material M-7289 with stock of 12,480. I have 2 released production orders whose demand for that raw material is 15,456 each. The total demand is 30,912.Inventory Allocation DetailsThe first thing that strikes me is that the allocation type is “Production to purchase”, instead of Production demand. The second one is the Available Qty remains the same, Is this correct? When I run the MRP it does not suggest me the raw material M-7289 in the results to buy it.However, if I go to the “Create purchases orders” process, there I get the requirement to buy. This raw material is not configured as "purchase to order"Stock ItemHowever in the production order detail it activates the option "Mark for PO", I understand that this is because it was put in the stock item -->Manufacturing --->Dftl Mark For: "Purchase".Production Order DetailsAll the raw material has the same configuration, however, almost all products

I am having the following issue:I have a item that is manufactured with a BOM in one Warehouse, but purchased in another.  At the item Warehouse Details for the item, in the Warehouse where we purchase the item, I have the replenishment set to Purchase, no BOM attached in Manufacturing tab, and override stand cost checked.  I go in and update pending based on that Warehouse and everything works as expected. But then, when I go and update my BOM for that item, and process Cost Roll and Update Pending, the Warehouse Item Detail cost if overridden.  This causes us to have to remember to go back and reupdate the cost at the Purchase Warehouse. Am I doing something incorrect, or just misunderstanding how the process should be working?

Any idea why the average cost of each stock item doesn’t pull through to the BOM Unit Cost?  Anybody know how I can get this pulled in?  

I’m setting up  Min/Max replenishment for stock items and have a question about the ‘Qty on Supply’ value in the calculation.  For this part specifically I have an open PO for 6 units, however it doesn’t look like it’s included in the ‘Qty on Supply’ value, and I cannot check the ‘Included’ box.  Does anyone know why open purchase orders for this stock item would not be included in the Qty on Supply calculation?  Also, why is this box grayed out?  I have basically all permissions available.  

Can I archive Quotes in the SO module?If yes how can I do that?Current situation, I want to archive quotes from two years ago, Possible the SO to but for now just the Quotes.

Looking for fellow users of Manufacturing and Arena so we can leverage experiences and draw from one another’s growing pains and gains. Is anyone up for connecting to see where we may be able to leverage common work and shorten the curve as some say. Two asks: Any tips or tricks to get Vendor Details to successfully import to Acumatica. I am stuck with an error that is blocking progress. I’m currently waiting on a help ticket. Outside processes. In other manufacturing instances I have created a non-stock item and included it on the materials list for the outside process operation to facilitate the purchase order and billing of the outside process. Due to the limitation of not being able to add materials to BOMs in Acumatica, I am looking for a work around short of creating a non-stock item in Arena, adding it to required BOMs and then importing BOMs again? If the import is limited to BOMs with outside processes then this whole thing is easier to manage, as someone would have to ensure

I can only see Date to set when doing scheduling either forward or backward or manual. What’s the workaround if we want to schedule down to time of the day?Example: need to schedule production order completed by 15-Apr-2024 at 1pm. The reason is to allow for despatch process on that day.

From Acumatica help:“By default, the screen shows only those items where the materials required for the specific Production Order exceed the current quantity on hand and the material is NOT set to be backflushed.” I believe critical materials should look at all materials regardless of if the item is backflushed.Is there business logic for not looking at backflushed items?

Tool Maintenance TrackingDo you need to track tool maintenance?  And I do mean Tool Maintenance not Machine maintenance, that is a different animal.  I spent years working at a stamping manufacturer where tool maintenance was always a challenge.  In my case, I am talking about sharpening a tooling die set.  The tools were usually built for a certain life span – so many parts or hits before they needed to be sharpened or replaced.  The type of steel and whether inserts were used in the tool, what material you were stamping, size and type of press were all factors.The problem:Sharpening the die takes time and cost money.  It’s a hidden cost, while expected it was usually not well managed.  To make matters worse, if the customer ordered more parts, we had no idea how much life was left in the tool without physically inspecting the tool, and we had thousands of tools. So, we would take the order and absorb the unexpected costs and delays.The solution:I came up with a method of at least att

Would like to have the ability to change the default “Scheduling Method” when new production orders are created.  Probably a setting in production order preferences with the ability to over-ride at the item class level.
