Manufacturing

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.

It is my understanding that if you are using Replenishment instead of MRP for purchased items, that the replenishment process does not see production orders as demand.Is this correct?Is this correct for both planned and released production orders?

This is displayed because I unchecked the box that says “Only suggested items”.It says the “source” is none.  Which I suspect is the problem.  However, I have a source everywhere I can find.​Below us from Stock Items screenBelow is stock item screen 

Does ayone in the community know of or support a company that produces clothing/garments using the manufacturing module? It seems there are some specific requirements that the current module does not cater for in this industry

Is there an “out of the box” user role I can allocate to a user to give then access to be able to create Work Calendars? My user can do this, but I am a System Administrator. At this point I don’t want to create  multiple bespoke user roles until we understand Acumatica more and what we require.

Hello,I have balanced MOVE transactions.  I want to release them via the “Release AM Documents” screen.  However, when I open the Release AM Documents screen, nothing is displayed for me to release.Any thoughts? 

Unable to create production order from inventory planning display (MRP) screen

Hello,I have active BOMs in the system.  When I open the Cost Roll screen, no BOMs show up in the grid to be selected.  2023R2Any thoughts why my BOMs aren’t showing up?

I have a client who is starting to use MRP and there are old orders that are coming up. Orders from 2017 that are completed, however they are still on MRP. How can these easily be cleared? I am sure I am just missing something simple.  

Hi! I'm looking for a sales margin report, itemized based off invoices. Like the Sales Profitability Analysis GI that comes out of the box. The catch is for cost I need to include the material and labor breakdown for manufactured items. Does anyone have a GI or know which table might contain this information?

Hello Acumatica, We are using Acumatica 20.203.0028 and my client always have a Issue, when Release transaction Materials > The IN Issue was created is blank or sometimes on hold/ balance IN Issue. It depends to the Finished goods costand this is not only Material, it belongs when Released Move too sometimes the stock is doesn’t receipt, because the transaction IN Receipt blank Inventory or on hold/ balance Status Have anyone have this issue too?this case is not to all transaction, sometimes it will happen, sometimes is not. what should I do? Here are the transaction created from Material and Move  

Cost Roll only seems to work if you are using standard costs.Is it possible to do a cost roll if you are using average costs?

Help description says you can still post transactions to closed production orders.  What kind of transactions would these be?You can’t issue material or labor, so what is this referring to?Any thoughts? 

We utilize the product configurator capability and learned today that we have been creating production orders within a sales order with expired BOM’s.  The Bom revision changed to Rev B and Rev A was set to On Hold and with an expired date.  The customer service team entered the make to order sales order and created the production order within the sales order as normal.  Production orders were created with the obsolete BOM revision.  Obviously we need to update the configurator now to the current active rev.  I’m surprised the configurator wouldn’t error out in creating production orders with expired and on hold BOM’s.  

We have a client using configurator for make to order items. Production Orders are linked to Sales Order lines. But when MRP runs, it doesn’t seem to recognize these links. MRP is allocating any current as yet unshipped and differently configured inventory to satisfy the next-to-ship sales orders, even though those orders are linked to existing open production orders.Does anyone have ideas on how to get MRP to use the linked production orders instead?

Is there a way you can re order the lines on a Sales Order or Quote? I can see Line Nbr and Line Order columns, but they are not editable. Ideally when we’ve finished constructing a Sales Order/Quote, we’d like to sort the quote by Inventory ID (ascending) and then reorder the lines so they appear in the desired order.

Does Acumatica have any option to substitute the Component material in production?

Hello community, We are getting an error when we release materials on a production order and not all of the BOM components are showing up on the Materials Wizard 2.I'm able to do a partial release on materials that prompt up, when I attempt to release the remainder of the parts on the bill of materials components, the release materials are blank, it is now showing the rest of the materials that need to be allocated to the production order.I made a change on the test environment to change the “Data Entry Settings” to “Do Not Allow” for Under Issue Materials and tried to do the move; we receive an error that not all materials are issued to the production order, so we were unable to close the move, but when we tried to release the rest of the materials, the page blank.
