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

When scanning multiple Materials in one Scan Materials session, it defaults the quantity on the first line, and from there on out it only records quantity one.  For example, I have a work order that contains qty 4 EA of three different items.  Scanning the first item records an issue of qty 4.  The other two items only have issue qty of 1.  I have messed with Production Preferences related to bar coding to no avail.

After releasing a pile of production tickets the sales order due date has been pushed out over a month and now I want to update all those tickets (reschedule them).  Is this possible? 

Hello experts, I am facing issue while generating demands from MPS and forecast, for Eg. :- I have created a demand from so for date 06/03/2024 for item A and run the MRP demand from sales order gets reflected but when I am creating demand on MPS for item ‘B’ and a forecast for item ‘C’ of same date as on sales order my MPS and Forecast demand are not getting into MRP display screen and in MPS screen active check box goes inactive.  

The Variable Labor OH by Qty / Cost is calculated when an operation moves. The prerequisite is that the actual labor cost must be posted against the operation prior to the operation being moved. This makes sense conceptually. However, for clients that use clock entry and approve clock entry process, the actual labor does not get posted until the next day (or later). The move happens in real time as an operation is completed. The issue is that since the operation is already moved / completed, the variable labor overhead does not get calculated when the labor is posted. This is a timing issue, and causes the production order to not incorporate the variable labor overheads. I am curious how other members of the community may have solved for this? Thanks! 

The client I am working with cannot process any move transaction on production orders because of this error. Has anyone seen this error or know the fix for it?   

Hello, I have a question regarding the production module.It concerns the work process feedback – 'Actual Time' and the use of indirect costs there. Where and how does the system determine the price for the indirect costs?We have already entered an hourly rate for the employee, but to no effect.Use case example: A worker cleans the hall and machines for 3 hours on Friday. This time should be reported as indirect costs.As a result, the expense account is relieved, and the overhead cost account is charged. Where and how do I now need to adjust what these 3 hours have cost?

We have very agile production orders means they change a lot.  We don’t really use control points but they are headaches waiting to happen since we are constantly changing the WOs and things are completed out of order or completed but improperly.  Is there a way to turn off control points as a whole?  Can I just not have them ever set unless a user wants to click the box.  Also there is no going back once its clicked :-).

Where to find the DAC of production orders workspace and other manufacturing features?

Looking for ideas on how to prevent a Sales Order Config from being change by anyone once a Production Order gets created for that order.  

We are using Acumatica 2023 R1 Build 23.112.0032Are we able to re-open completed routers?  I have a user who accidentally “completed” a router instead of splitting the router.  I know you can add both materials and labor to completed routers but can a router status be reinstated to “In Process”.  The issue is we have to split a router instead the use closed the router.

On Inventory allocation details, when I go to the tab QTY BY PLAN TYPE, I would like to select Production Demand Prepared and I just not allowed to. How do I select this?
