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.

Is there a setting or a preference that allows us to change the default scheduling method on new production orders?

We are currently setting up work centers and are wondering if it is possible to have all lathes or mills as one work center. The issue is that for example, the lathes do not have all the same capabilities. One machine can do 30% of the parts while the other can do 100% of the parts. We want to utilized the scheduling feature and I think this will cause issues. Is it possible to assign machines within the work center to certain parts or do we need to make each lathe its own work center? 

We went live in November 2023, with initial costing estimates.  As we have learned and had internal discussions, we are now wanting to adjust the costs and factors.Current BOMs are using Machines for allocation of Fixed Overhead.  We would like to switch this to using Overhead at the Work Center level as Variable based on Labor.How can I make this adjustment at the Work Center level(deactivate the Machine and enter the Variable Overhead--I also would like to adjust the Labor $ rate) and push this adjustment down through Planned Production Orders?  

I am testing employee labor tracking to production orders and I cannot enter an Employee ID.  The field is grayed out. I have tried clicking Current User, clicking the plus sign for a new labor entry, etc. and nothing will stick.  

I have BOM and materials are fetching from multiple warehouse. Those warehouse are defined in the BOM and in the BOM cost is displayed perfect but when coming to the Cost Roll, cost is rolling to the same warehouse defined in the header portion of the screen. Anyone faced this kind of situation?

Hello All,We are using Production Orders to complete a good. Note when the Production Order is set up, we have selected the Project WHS, Location to place the finished good in. (Note this project WHS is for government materials that have already been invoiced to the customer)  On the reference tab we also will add the project # and task to tie the project to the production order.  The materials added are coming from a main warehouse while some of the other materials bought to that project are coming out of that same project WHS, location where the finished good will be placed. When using the material wizard, the materials being released from the main warehouse there are no issues, the materials released from the project WHS location are being removed from the warehouse, however the materials are not appearing as a credit on the project?  Using the wizard there is no option to add the project? Is there a different way we should be going about this? Trying to accomplish:taking the invoic

Materials Consumption GI was working fine for us then all of a sudden the ‘Actual Consumed QTY’ field stopped working properly (calculations are off). If we pull up the Production Order GI the QTY for labels consumption is accurate on a specific order (2 and 544). Which should = 546 Actual Consumed QTY for labels. However on our Materials Consumption GI for that same production order, only the most recent 2 Actual Consumed QTY is displayed. The Materials Consumption GI is set up as AMProdMatl.QtyRemaining We also tested reversing the 544 qty, and the total adjust to -542. Our question is why isn’t the 544 being calculated properly in this GI?  

My client produces items for customers that are always custom made with sales order lines linked to production. They use FIFO as their costing method. In order to ensure that sales are properly matched to cost of sales, what is the best way to set up the manufactured items? Should finished goods be lot tracked using specific costing method?If this is correct, how should the lot class be setup? I think the assignment method should be when received, using an auto generated number. What would the assignment method be to ensure that the costs are following the correct sales order and not require the shipping department to select the lot number? Will the lot number from production be automatically assigned to the issue transaction on the sales order?

We created a production order for a part we had created, to be able to remove material and add some other, this production order has a step with components with negative quantities, which will strip back material and put it back in inventory.  If we do a Material transaction, we have not issues.If we try to do a backflush via a MOVE transaction, we get an error message, during the MOVE referencing a location that is only used to receive purchased orders.If we remove the backflush flags from the components, we are able to process the MOVE transaction.RECDOCK is only for receiving PO’s. None of the items involved have this location in their setup. The production order is not attached to any sales order.We have since been able to process this order by doing the Material transaction and removing the backflush flags to do the MOVE.  I’ve been able to replicate this scenario in one of our testing environments and I’m wondering if this is a bug.

Work center is assigned to warehouse #1 in the work center screen.The work center is used on a BOM for warehouse #2.This seems wrong, but I am not seeing any repercussions.Is this a problem?Thanks,Larry

We are closing our books for the year.  I have to terminate all the active employees who are working on scan jobs at 8:00pm.  I thought there was to terminate active employees in bulk?  Or is the only way to terminate active staff is;Access the Clock in Menu option copy the active Employee Id Next go to the clock entry menu Enter the Employee Id into the employee ID field.  When the Employee comes up Hit the “Clock out” button.Is this the only way?

Hello Experts,I am Unable to release move transaction of multiple operation by selecting last operation and releasing i am getting error of. 

Hello ,its a bit confusing how to create production order for scrap qty from original production order?

Hi,A client is wanting to be able to add all the BOM operation lines related to the production order they have added into the grid on the Move screen (AM302000). For example, if they were to add a new line and select Production Order PO1234, they would like all the relevant lines to appear, rather than manually adding in a row for each record they want to process.The code below is how I have tried setting it up, but all it does is make the screen load for ages and I am not sure why that is happening.This is the process I am trying to enable using the code below:Add a new row to the grid and select a Production Nbr. Once this has been selected, all BOM operations associated with this order are added underneath. If there are any records that are not needed, remove them from the grid. Repeat these steps for any other Production Orders. Here is the code I have so far. What would be the best way to structure this?protected void AMMTran_ProdOrdID_FieldUpdated(PXCache cache, PXFieldUpdatedEve
