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? 

Is there a way in Acumatica to know what an Engineering BOM would look like when it gets turned into a Production Order BOM before the production order gets created?

Is there a setting somewhere that would prevent Safety stock from displaying in the stock item screen under inventory planning.  This is opening the screen and not having an item class selected yet.  So it is for a new stock item with nothing selected. 

Hello Community! I am looking to find a way to view which Sales Orders in a time frame (next 30/60/90 days, or a set timeframe, etc) have line items that do not have sufficient inventory in stock at time the report is generated. For example, if I have 100 pieces of Item A in inventory, and each of the next three weeks has a Sales Order with 50 pieces scheduled to ship, I want to be able to look at “Next 30 days SO without Inventory” and see that third SO show up as lacking inventory. Basically, I’m looking for a quick summarized way to remind us to schedule certain production orders.Currently, this is done manually in a couple ways, firstly by noting at time of SO creation whether there is sufficient inventory and flagging items that require production, and secondly by periodically reviewing the Inventory Allocation Details report for high-volume parts to ensure multiple at-the-time-stocked items don’t get added to multiple Sales Orders leaving us short on some.We are building up to a

I would like to meet anyone who manufactures items which they later bring to their own construction projects.  So, the manufactured items from your shop will later be incorporated into your construction project.   We are trying to determine the best methods of tracking costs in the shop:  do we code directly to a construction project when working on that project?  Or do we simply manufacture items and make an internal sale to our construction project? At any rate, it would be great to find anyone who has travelled this path before.   If there is anyone who has some experience in these processes, I would greatly appreciate the chance to get some advice.

We frequently create and consume Serial # tracked items into other production orders. I have looked around and can’t find any way to find out if an Serial # has been consumed into another Parent Serial #. I figured out how to see if an order has a consumed Serial # with the Lot/Serial Hierarchy report but I need to go the other way. Ideally a GI of Serial #s and there matching Parent Serial # if applicable.

Hi,Is there any function to Create Machines Maintenance Schedules which will be help planner to avoid the schedule maintenance dates?Thanks

From ACU help:I thought Reorder Point was for replenishment and safety stock was for MRP.What if I have a value in both fields?Also, are there any planning fields in the stock item screen that are only used by replenishment and not MRP?Finally, I see this in help as well.  Does this all apply to MRP? 

Looking to set the lot ID of the finished product to the production order ID.I don’t believe this is a thing, just checking of anyone has come across this.Thanks!

Hello Community,I just came to know that the Manufacturing module & Customer Portal isn’t supported when we enable the Multiple Base Currencies features. I have now been looking out for ways as to how can we make use of Manufacturing module, especially the Product Configurator & the Customer Portal. Kindly guide.thanks.

I have a list of options in my Configuration that can only be narrowed down to 1 option by answering multiple questions. In my case we have a list of Braid material options for wire sleeving. To find my way to which exact sleeving item number to use I need to know the following information from Options or Attributes which each have multiple options of their own:1 - Product Line2 - Wire Gauge3 - Wall ThicknessAny given Product Line could use several Braids and the same is true of the Wire Gauge and Wall Thickness. Only after know all of that information can I narrow down the option of Braid Item number to the one that is appropriate for those selections. I then want the Configurator to just use that option and not require someone to select it. I tried creating a Attribute Rule to Exclude Options

When you create a new materials transaction within the Materials screen, you enter the production order and the operation.  When you get to the Inventory ID field, it allows you to select any inventory ID.  This is likely by design.  However, is there anyway to limit the Inventory ID selection to only materials already defined on the production order?

Is there a way to create a Shipment from a Sales order within the Acumatica App? Our team uses the app to process Production Orders and I’d like them to be able to stay within the App vs having to switch to the web to create a shipment. Is this possible?

Trying to figure out if this is a bug, a feature or inherent in the design of the manufacturing module:On the Production order’s operations, there are four fields related to start and end dates for the operation:Start Date End Date Actual Start Date Actual End DateThe first two always show the start and end dates of the production order.The other two with the word  “Actual” I would assume would get set as follows:When the first transaction for the operation is performed, the Actual Start Date is set to the date on the transaction When a transaction is performed that completes the qty to produce and sets the operation status to completed, the Actual End Date is set to the date of the transactionIn other words, these fields are logically set on the first and last operations of the production order.However this is not what happens. On a clean install of 2023R2 Update 1, this is the behavior: When a labor transaction is released, regardless of the date on the labor transaction, the Actual

I am trying to create production order in holidays which is mentioned in exception of work calendar but its allowing me to do production.
