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

Move multiple finished goods from one production order?

Good day, I have the situation where I need to move different finished goods items from a singe production order. In this scenario I am moving a main item from the production order, and some “by-products” or “co-products”. How would this be done with standard Acumatica Production Orders?

Arena Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Integration - multi-level BoM support

Hi I was wondering if the new Arena PLM integration supports muli-level BoMs. Often in an environment where a product is produced with a multi-level BoM, if a lower level BoM changes for any reason the revision of the parent level BoM should also change revision when the lower level BoM is updated. This is to reflect that the finished good produced is a different version as a result of the component part BoM having changed. Is this something the integration can mange? Thanks Matt

Managing Lots / quality control

I have a prospect in the supplement manufacturing industry. One issue that I am trying to solve for them is managing lots of ingredients or finished goods that require testing before they can be used.For ingredients the scenario is this: A product is purchased and receipted into stock and assigned a lot number. A sample is taken and sent to an independent laboratory for testing - the test can take up to 2 weeks to return during which time the stock cannot be used in production and is not available for scheduling. We are looking for an easy way to identify that this particular lot is still awaiting the test result whilst other lots of the same item may be available (or waiting on a test and not available until later). Ideally I would like to have attributes for the lot, but this is not available. I think that the best I can do right now is place the lot in a quarantine location and move it out when it has passed the test. A similar situation occurs during manufacturing when the fi

Time Approval by Supervisor

OK. I have a bit of a unique situation I am looking for the answer for. I have a time clock that I use to generate a clock entry into a Production Order This works great. However, I have Team leads that approve their team's time. I need a way to have Joe the team lead log in and approve and only see Joe's team. Whereas Joe's supervisor John can see and approve Joe's time and all of his team's times. Setting the employee reports to on the employee records doesn't seem to cut it. The approval screen is kind of an all or nothing scenario it seems. Thoughts?

Synch costs on BOM when not using standard cost

If a customer is not using standard cost, when a component is added to a bill of material, the cost is 0 unless one is manually entered, and after the component item is received into inventory and the cost is established, the cost on the bill of material is not updated. Users will base price estimates on the bill of material and when the costs are not current on the bill, there is no way to look at a bill of material and view the current cost of the item. They must look at each component item and retrieve the cost, or create a bogus production order to capture current cost.This would increase usability and customer satisfaction.

Production Order Maintenance Screen Filter Problem

We’re on 2019R1 and the Production Order Maintenance screen in the Modern UI takes SEVERAL minutes to filter the list if you use the filter field in the upper right corner of the grid. We’re currently in the process of upgrading to 2020R2, and it is STILL not usable. I figured Acumatica would have cleaned them up to be on par with the rest of their screens given they own it now and have had plenty of time to do so. Is this something that is a known issue, are plans in place to fix it? We have zero issues with this functionality throughout the rest of Acumatica.

Custom Field FROM Item into MRP Exception

So I have added a custom Field into our ITEM list lets call it (BuyerPlanner). I can add and use this field in areas like the Stock Items list with out issue. I am looking for a way to extend this custom field into the MRP Exceptions Screen AM403000. This is just a sorting field and really just need to be an option to filter by. Any. Thoughts?

When prospect manufactures a complex product for instance: custom warehouse storage racks, glass windows, that require 1-3 week installation, is the combination of Acumatica Manufacturing Edition and Construction Edition the right solution?

Hi:I have several prospects which manufacture something quite complex (MTO), and install it over several days/weeks, and sometimes train the customer. Examples of such products are: exhibit booths, warehouse storage racks and conveyors, custom large windows and doors, custom lighting for large buildings and plants, ..It seems that the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition and the Construction Edition is the solution although I think that there is no need for retainage billing. Originally I thought that the solution for such business case was Acumatica Manufacturing edition with Project Accounting (Project Manufacturing and MTO). Am I wrong? The Roberts Glass customer story triggered my question:https://www.acumatica.com/blog/roberts-glass-acumatica-construction/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&s=09For the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, only the BOM and Production Order Management will be needed since the production method is MTO. Thanks for your help.Happy New Year!ToonSI
