Manufacturing

We have a client using MRP forecasts in Build 23.104.0027. Demand Time Fence in MRP settings is set to 30 days. MRP Prefefences, Demand Time Fence set to 30 days. According to help, this is “The number of days within which the system excludes forecast records from demand data; the period starts from the day when MRP is performed. Forecasts are ignored by MRP if they have a start date specified on the Forecast (AM202000) form that is earlier than the MRP run date minus the number o

I would appreciate any ideas on keeping records on consumables for our manufacturing plant.  Should we record the items as normal inventory items but in a seperate warehouse? 

I have read a variety of the posts on here and don't think I saw a clear answer on forecast consumption logic….. I am currently testing to understand the consumption logic before we launch forecasting.  I have created a weekly forecast of 6 pcs/wk for 6 months and then entered sales orders for 5 weeks that are both under and over that weekly qty.  It seems like the logic is to ONLY consume forecast within that week and not backward or forward consume forecast - Is that correct?    Is this a setting we can modify to set the # of weeks/days forward and backward to consume?  Our customer orders are not as consistent as a weekly forecast would assume and this would cause us the need to constantly reforecast or clear individual weeks each week forecast wasn’t matched or potentially overplan our demand when forecasts are not met, which is why consumption logic is often an MRP setting.   

We include within the BOM an Outside service process where the cost is billed on PO as not stock item. Is there a way to included the cost from non-stock items with the BOM and Production Order.

We have a client that has multiple production lines that they can choose from to perform the same operation. I am trying to use APS to automatically fill the capacity of these lines. As of yet I have not found a suitable solution to achieve this. Does anybody have some advice here?  

Good day, I am trying to delete a Non-Stock Item from several BOMs, but the mapping that I have is giving me an error “Field: Operation ID, Value: 0020, Error: An attempt was made to add a duplicate entry.”, and I have the Line Number = 0, to not create any other lines, just to identify the material that needs to be deleted.Any ideas why this will try to create a record instead of following the mapping to delete the Material?Thank you so much! 

There are two sections in Acumatica I can find Lead Time information. One is under Vendors—Purchase Settings, I can update the Lead Time there. The other one is under Inventory—Stock Item—Vendors, the Lead Time I can’t modify it. Is it possible to add function of edit the Lead Time under the Stock Item so I can record Lead Time for a particular item? 

Change BOM Attributes QTY Required from 2 to 3 decimals.I know this is done in the ‘Companies’ section ‘Quantity Decimal Places’ However, this changes multiple fieldsIf we are looking to change only the ‘QTY Required’ in BOMS field, and not Machine Units, Run Units, etc. Is this possible? If not, are there any other units I’m missing in my list to determine impact? (Machine Units, Run Units, QTY Units) Thanks!

Cost Roll History by BOM ID provides cost information by Cost Roll date (although I do not like the fact that it rolls the total cost from subassemblies into the materials category for the finished goods).  Now my question: does anyone know how to view a Multi Level BOM Costed on a specific date.  Sure you can change the date in the report but that only pulls in the correct revision of the BOM ID, it does not retrieve the inventory id cost as of that date.  Am I missing something?  

Dear all,Please help to advise me in this case: I want to produce to many products (main and subproducts) in one product order.For example:I have a rib and then process to 3 products as ribeye, rib fingers, short ribs. To do, we need labor and equipment (fixed asset).So How to build BOM and Production Order Thanks and Best regards, 

An item is configurable if it has a configuration ID in the Item Warehouse Details form.  

Hi All, Am I under the right assumption when we have multiple lines with different preferred suppliers we can leave the supplier ID blank On Purchase process, then on “Create” system should create multiple POs? I vaguely remember this was working before and has stopped in the new versions, or am I just assuming? we use the MYOB advanced version of Acumatica. Thanks for your help Ghazal 

Hi we are attempting to purchase items using MRP for which there is an existing blanket PO.  For some reason it won’t allow us to link the blanket PO to the newly created PO…..so MRP keeps showing the requirement.   Any suggestions?

Hello All,I have a manager that is wanting changes to this form.  They would like to see the detail view as the summary.  She wants to see the lot/serial number breakdown for each inventory part number without having to look up each individual one.  I have tried different filtering/sorting but have not been able to get it to pull in that information on the summary breakdown.Thank you!

Occasionally, we need to change the link of a subassembly production order to a different parent production order. We update the Linked Orders of the Subassembly Production Order. However, this does not update the Parent Production Orders. The Subassembly still shows as a linked Subassembly to the original Parent Production Order, so we cannot use Critical Materials Screen to create a New Linked Subassembly Production Order. Also, the linked Subassembly does not show in the Production Order Supply Documents for the updated Parent Production Order. Are we missing something or are the links between Parent and Child Production orders not being updated from the Linked Orders in the Reference tab? Also, we would expect to be able to allocate the Serialized Item of the linked Subassembly to the Production Order. But, we cannot do this until the Subassembly Production Order is completed. Furthermore, it does not automatically Allocate the Serialized Item from th

We have just upgraded to 2022 R2, until the upgrade the MRP, when creating the transfer, would round up to the nearest whole number for any stock items that have a UOM of EACH and non divisible.  This wouldn’t happen in the MRP display but would happen when creating a transfer.Now when we try to create the transfer it is not rounding and so we are getting a lot of errors that EACH sales UOM is not divisible for this stock item.  Is there a config that has changed that we can change back?

is there a way to manufacture in seconds and change the operation sequence after you have made the BOM or routing.  example:operation 10 takes 1.5 minutesoperation 20 takes 15.25 minutes etcI only see days hour minutes or hour minutes but no seconds.  thanks in advance 

Has anyone attempted to add a link at the line level to the Work Center Dispatch screen where an shop employee could simply click a blue link and it would preload the Move form with production order type, production order id, and operation id?  Then all the user would need to do is enter the quantity complete and quantity scrapped and release the Move transaction.Even better, if an editable field could be added at the line level for the user to enter quantity complete / quantity scrapped, and then a blue link that would auto-complete the Move in the background.I’m attempting to reduce the level of effort for shop employees (many computer illiterate) to report completed work by making it as simple as possible to complete Moves on on a computer screen.I have attempted to enable Mass Actions - it sort of works, but can only load one record at a time into the Move form.  I also attempted a navigation target with no success there.

Hi,   I have an issue while migrating from 23R1 to 23R2 with the LSSelect.cs  class file which has been removed in the 23R2 below is the code which removed from the  23R2 and it was available in 23R1 public abstract class LSSelect<TLSMaster, TLSDetail, Where> : PXSelect<TLSMaster>, IEqualityComparer<TLSMaster>where TLSMaster : class, IBqlTable, ILSPrimary, new()where TLSDetail : class, IBqlTable, ILSDetail, new()where Where : IBqlWhere, new(){}so, can you please guide me how to resolve the issue in 23R2.

Hello, is there a way to tie or create (new) way to tie materials to a BOM or TOP LEVEL ? we currently have a list of materials but no way of knowing what BOM they are tied to or ‘Where used’  

In our legacy system before we migrated to Acumatica, we could tack warranty expenses relating to a specific production order. I have not found anyway to do this in Acumatica. Currently, we expense any warranty cost to a GL so we can keep track of overall warranty expenses. But, it would be nice to be able to attribute a warranty expense to a production order in some manner other than noting the Production Number or SN in the description or the expense transaction. Has anyone had the same thoughts or found a solution/ISV to solve this problem?

Is it possible to unlink a production order (RO A) from a Sales Order (SO A)? I know I can delete the Production Order but it is already in process and I would rather not disassemble. We decided to reallocate a different Production Order (RO B) of the same item to Sales Order A to get the order out quickly but we can not create a shipment because RO A is not completed yet. Any ideas?

We are trying to hunt down an issue that pops up with a user being unable to clock out.  When you go to clock entry, find the production order, and the user it returns the current clocked in step.  When you click clock out it spins for a sec and doesnt nothing.  When you go to trace it says Cant add data into AmClockTranDac.  However, if the user puts in a qty of 1, it will work.  This seems to happen most frequently to this one user.  I have looked at her employee record and user rights and they are similar to other users in the team.  Any thoughts?

From what I’ve read through on Non-Stock items with Kit Specifications, it is mostly intended for sales orders and purchase order documents, but we have a case where would like to use it within a BOM and production order so that it calls out the underlying items specified and not having to use a kit stock item or full production order to mfg these items.When testing it out, the production detail seems to only call out the kit and not the underlying items with the production order / MRP. Has anyone had success in doing this?  

My client links all sales order to production. Each sales order line has a promise date and ship date. The ship date is the date that production needs to be completed. They are using APS to schedule production which is properly using the ship date as the finish on constraint prior running the scheduling operations.The issue is MRP is still using the ship date as the promise date resulting in a shortage of materials for scheduled production. How do we get MRP to look at the scheduled production to properly identify material requirements?We are on 23R1  - 23.110.0025
