BOM with Predefined Routing

Have someone ever done an import scenario with routing already hard-coded/inserted into the import mapping? The spreadsheet as data source only contains finished items and components. What I try to achieve here is having a workaround to assign a routing (that has set of standard operations) into a bill. My issue particularly is with multiple operation numbers that need to be inserted. I can only insert one operation with my scenario.Ex:The spreadsheet has data FG1 (finished item) needs Comp1 and Comp2 (material) - split into 2 lines in the spreadsheet. When imported: the BOM will have operation 10, 20, 30 (already inserted in the import mapping)and the above component are placed under operation 10.

Product Configurator Roll Up Pricing on a Sales Order

I have a client using the product configurator and they want to roll up pricing based on the parent item and all the selected children options. This client uses discount pricing and the pricing of the fully configured item is subject to a discount which varies by customer. My client would like the pricing to rollup in the configurator such that the base item is discounted but the children are not. The issue is that the calculated price of parent item and the options essentially take on a new identity resulting in a discount on parent and children. Has anyone run into this issue before and how did you resolve it?

Changes to Configured Product On Sales Orders

I am working with the product configurator and I’ve come across a situation:1. Create a sales orders with a configurated item.2. Configure the item, and push to production to get it on the schedule.3. The configuration changes AFTER the SO is created but before production happens. 4. Delete the production order since the BOM has changed.What we are running into is that we cannot reconfigure the item on the SO, we have to completely delete the SO line and re-enter it to be able to do a new configuration. We are also finding if we configure, but don't push to production, and the configuration changes they cannot pick up the new configuration and reconfigure. Has anyone run into anything similar and are there creative process solutions around this?

Phantom Component Parts & Subassemblies on BOM's

Anyone in community using BOM’s with Phantom Items?How does it work for you? What settings work best in your manufacturing facility?We have multiple items with BOM’s with component parts and subassemblies and we want these component parts and subassemblies to have their own BOM. However, we don’t want to have to MOVE all the component part and subassembly Work Orders in order to process the Parent Item Work Order.If Phantom Items will work, what is the best way to set these items up?

Error while initializing the product configurator

Dear all,I have desperately tried to set up the product configurator for several hours by now. I followed the guidelines by acumatica help portal. However, if I want to try out my configuration with the action test configuration an error occurs “AM Error: The following error message occurred during calculation of a sales price for the EMS-57-EL item: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”The item EMS-57-EL has a price set in its master data...and it is also referenced to a BOM…Can anyone help me? :(

Controlling / Manufacturing

Hello, Could you help me with the following issues?Where I can found in Acumatica the costs per LOT [broken down into direct costs (RM consumption, power suppy, wages, water + sewage, variable cost) other direct (depreciation), G&A (ammortisation, salary), commercial] ? Is it possible to do the following in Acumatica: Take all energy costs that are assigned to production (e.g. 80% of invoice electricity Q1) and distribute them equally to all articles produced in the relevant period, weighted according to the production quantity of the articles ?Thank you in advance.

Vendor Shipments and carrier plugins

Does anyone know if there is any progress toward the Vendor Shipments (AM310000) working with the carrier plugins? If not, how do other companies, or what is the Acumatica recommended way, to create an actual, physical shipment after using the Vendor Shipment screen? Many companies send all of their shipments to the shipping department. Ideally, the Vendor Shipment screen would just work with the carriers like the Shipment screen, which is closely resembles. Almost as good would be a ‘Create Shipment’ action which would create an actual Shipment from the Vendor Shipment. Any ideas or suggestions? This must be a common issue for anyone using carrier plugins and needs the functionality of vendor shipments. Thanks!

Make to Order BOMs with Sub Assemblies - please help!

Hi we are stuck and 2months behind in our implementation of Acumatica. Our BOMs often consist of standard components and custom Make to Order components. From the sales order it seems Acumatica generates the production order for the parent but uses MRP to generate the children. The children production tickets then don’t contain information about the sales order or customer making it confusing for our shop production team (they don’t know what order the custom components are for). We can’t use Auto Create Linked Orders or else it will disregard on hand inventory for standard components. Hoping you can shed some light how you manage production tickets for sub assemblies?

Shop floor users and move transactions

In our welding bays there are 2 computers across 10 welders. As they enter move transactions, is there a way to know which user enters move transaction without them logging in and out each times? Curious to know how others have setup shop floor users, seems difficult to get data for individual performance.

Replenishment Seasonality - 2020 R2

There should be no Seasonality set up in Acumatica since none of the business is seasonal. However, when trying to set up the Replenishment Parameters on the Stock Items form IN202500, Seasonality is a required field. Is there a way to set up seasonality, in such a way that the business is not defaulted to being ‘seasonal.’ Thank you!

Change to Availability Calculation in Item Class

We set up two Availability Calculations - one which included Qty on Production Supply (WithRO) and one which excluded Qty on Production Supply (WithoutRO). An Item Class was assigned "WithoutRO" and after a few months it was determined that "WithRO" would be better for this Item Class. The Item Class was updated to the new Availability Calculation. The "Available" quantity on the Inventory Summary doesn't update initially, however the Available Quantity on the Allocation Details is updated based on the new availability rule. Is there a delay in this update and if so how do I know how long before the change is implemented in all places?

Hashing Orders

Greetings All!We are concerned about order verification on our integration with Acumatica. Because we can transactionalize updates on the Acumatica side we want to be sure all the data arrived.Are you aware of any way we can generate a “hash total” of Inventory ID or something at the Header level that reflects all the associated line items. This would be similar to doing an MD5 hash for downloads.Thanks in AdvanceJim Sproul, Polywood

Is there an automated way to create purchase orders for multiple vendors? (Bypass Bidding of Requisitions?)

Purchasing in Acumatica for us (as a Manufacturing company) is a very painful process since we have many item across multiple vendors and it is not clear based on the item which vendor is the correct one.Purchasing Request and Requisitions looks perfect...except there is this very involved bidding process that doesn’t seem like it can be skipped.Ideally we’d like any of our employees to be able to make a request and add any Inventory Item that exists. Then our purchaser could ‘Create Purchase Orders’ and the default Vendor for each item would be used to create however many Purchase Orders are needed for however many different Vendors are represented.Again, the documentation sounds like Requisitions can do this!!! Does anyone know how to skip the bidding process? We don’t have MRP and our Inventory control isn’t good enough yet to fully rely on it.As it stands our Purchaser has to look up every item, check the vendor, then create a Purchase Order for that vendor..repeat. That seems

Does Acumatica calculate and report the last actual cost?

We use standard costing, but I would also like to know what the actual last cost of items are that we receive in. The last cost information under the Cost Statistics section of an item is the last standard cost. Is there somewhere else I can go to see what the items last actual cost is?

EDI forecast "cross reference"

Hi All, Newbie here… We set up a cross-reference on a stock item as a “Customer Part Number”. When we we load sales orders via EDI, the process works. Those orders come in with a customer part number and are loaded to the sales using our internal part number. HOWEVER, when we load forecasting data, the cross reference does not work. Our EDI partner says it is erroring out with “Forecast.InventoryID: 'Inventory ID' cannot be found in the system”. We are starting to build a workaround and contingency plans. Can anyone tell me if this is the way Acumatica was designed or is our setup wrong?!?!?! It seems odd to me that the cross reference would work for orders but not for forecasts. Thanks - Shawn

(21.108) The Status is disabled in Vendor Shipments screen AM310000 if the Hold Shipments on Entry setting is unchecked.

When the Hold Shipments on Entry is unchecked in the Production Orders Preference, the Status of the Vendor Shipments becomes disabled.We are forced to select this option to enable the status of the Vendor Shipment. The site started in 20R1 and then upgraded to 21R1. It is now in 21.108.Do we need to make a change in the screen Workflow?Thanks
