Manufacturing

Hi Everyone, Is there the ability to consolidate multiple purchase orders for multiple production orders into 1 Purchase order? For example: A client has an Outside process:  10 production orders needing “heat treatment” (an outside process) can be tied to one PO with 10 lines instead of 10 POs each with one line

Hey all!Hope someone has implemented a similar solution to a problem I am struggling with. We are still in the implementation phase of Acumatica at this facility, and at this time my ‘decision makers’ are insisting we use kits rather than a production run due to the way our BOMS are set up.  Parallel to this upgrade, we are implementing a new scale system in one phase of our manufacturing facility. We need to capture 4 fields, the tare weight, the net weight, the gross weight, and the sequential “box number” of that run.  This is a proof of concept for creating end to end transparency and visibility for QC in our tobacco products as they are assembled between 3 companies on 2 tenants.We’ve discussed adding attributes to the kit assembly and using lot/serial numbers but realized that in both the production and kit assembly these are not created until either the assembly of the kit, or the completion of the production run.  Nor are these attributes presented within the webservice endpoin

Hello Community,I have a requirement where one of our prospects have iron bars as their raw materials.They have a scenario where if they are using 10 bars all of 6m in lengths. Now some of these 6m bars might have scratches etc and they would like to record it as a part of scrap. Hence, for these 10 units of bars they would like to record a scrap of around 10%. How can we record such a scenario in Acumatica in BOM.Also would like to know if I would be creating a BOM → Product Configurator, would Production part be required to be covered in such a scenario?Thanks in advance.

Allow non-standards to allow quick and easy data entry from Sales Order to Purchase Order to Production Bom.  Different from Non-Stock.  Non-stock means I have to first setup and/or import into the Non-Stock table before using in a Sales Order, Purchase Order, or Production BOM.  For a non standard to be used on a  Sales Order this would require either the part would have to be a make (requiring a production order), purchase to a sales order or to a Production Order due to being non-inventory.  For a production order, this would allow direct download into the BOM requiring any non standard parts to have to be purchased and/or made (make) via a production order. If I continually use non-stock items, I am having to enter all the parts first as non-stock and then bringing into the production BOM.  Other option is to use one Non-stock part number and update the description to change the BOM parts not exactly the best to calculate and capture costs. The part could only be used one time. Set

Morning All,  My working environment is a machinist shop for the aviation industry.  We use “clock entries” to account for for the machinist time when they are working on production orders.  The process is this a machinist physically has the production order on his person.  They proceed to a scanning station and scan both their id card and production order to acknowledged they are working on the production order and whatever work center was assigned to them.  At this point no other machinist should be able to scan the same production order(physical part) and work on a different work center.    But it happen last week.  Please, see the embedded picture.  How can this be prevented? We are currently using Acumatica 2022 R1.  We will be upgrading in few weeks to next the version of Acumatica.   

Hi – In Acumatica, I can see automated operations features such as Receive and Put Away, however I can’t see Scan Move, Scan Labour, and Scan Materials. My questions are:How do I enable these features? Are there any Acumatica University tutorials on these topics? (I can’t find any) Is there any Acumatica documentation on these topics?

Hi Everyone,Is there a way to do infinite capacity production scheduling? It seems like MRP uses infinite capacity, but we’re struggling to see how we would make this work with scheduling production operations.For example, a client would is wondering if they could have the ability to schedule 10 production orders (work center WC10 and operation 0010) all at the same time block on a given day.Ie. For all 10 production orders, operation 0010 would start (or be scheduled to start) at 9:00am, all in Work Center WC10

Hi everyone, Is anyone able to explain the reasoning for why after Rought Cut Planning is processed, that the system is slotting in AM0000037 in between 2 blocks of AM000002. I would expect the system to block of 2 “30 minute” blocks to complete operation ID 0010 for AM000002 entirely before starting another Production Order. If i update the crew size to 2, in the WC10, it of course completes the entire operation in 1 block.We are trying to understand what system logic, system preferences are causing the AM0000037 Production order to be slotted in-between.  

We have a customer who would like to store/pre-populate specific serial numbers in the sales order line/line details table. These items are items to be manufactured and have not had production order created or finished, so the actual serial numbers are not in stock.Has anyone come up with a workaround to pre-populate the serial numbers (or lot numbers) in SO Line Details?Regardless of testing all types of lot/serial classes, requiring lot/serial numbers on the order types, and changing item class to allow negative quantities, I can not get past the Inventory quantity will go negative error once I try to prepopulate a user enterable serial number in line details. I enter the serial and then when I tab off it clears the serial number and presents the error message.  

Hello,When I run MRP, it successfully shows demand for component parts for a specific BOM when the demand is for a production order.When I put in a forecast for the upper level part (The BOM part) MRP shows the forecast demand ONLY for the upper level part, not for for the components used on the BOM.Any thoughts why the forecast demand would not be blowing down to the materials on the BOM and MRP suggesting POs for the parts?Thanks!Larry

Hello,We are encountering this issue when releasing a Labor. The production orders are set to backflush, and the Labor is for the last operation. The Labor status remains on balanced - we noticed that the corresponding IN Receipts and backflushed Materials/Cost Transactions have been generated and released.I have checked the 2 known issues for manufacturing demand plan ID issues, it is not a negative move or transfer receipt. We are currently on Build 22.120.0019.Any ideas?

My client is a job shop manufacturer so all production orders are linked to a sales order. They manufacture items that are cut from blank sheets and vary in size. They use an external application to optimize their cuts and limit the amount of scrap because once a blank sheet gets cut it cannot be used again. Sometimes their optimization software tells them to produce more than is needed on the SO. The client deals in delicate material so scrap from breakage is a common occurrence. In each job they need to at least produce the quantity ordered and sometimes this can be absorbed due to the excess produced (based on their optimization software). Sometimes it cannot and they need to manufacture a replacement. For this reason the Include Scrap in Completions is selected in production preferences since it is a more straightforward path. The client would prefer to issue another workorder for the replacement item but this is causing issues with shipping. Materials are not backflushed and in mo

Just curious if anyone implemented Acumatica for a manufacturer that has a facility in Mexico and operates under IMMEX program?

Is it possible to configure Acumatica lot/serial classes to track both lot and serial number on an item? 

Hi everyone. I would like to know your opinion regarding the availability calculation rule and the pros and cons of unselecting the “Deduct Qty.” checkboxes. Thank you in advance.

I’m looking for thoughts on how to handle the following scenario:We have components that we manufacture inhouse, but also outsource.  In house, we do standard production orders against a BOM, which generates our standard cost. But, we also outsource these items.  Currently, we outsource these components 95% of the time.  Because we have BOM for these parts, out standard cost generates whenever we Cost Roll our BOM, but I really need our cost to reflect the PO cost of these items, or a avg of the 2, since we are 95% outsourced.  I’d prefer to keep the BOM active for our flexibility.

I’m creating an Import Scenario for the Purchase Request screen (PO.30.20.00).I’m having difficulty with the ADD PO button (found under the DETAILS tab).  My error message is: “The Add PO button is disabled.”  Here are my steps:  What am I missing?

Hello, I would like to know if I can also split current production orders (activated MRP module). As an example: An order with 100 parts. There are only material for 30 parts immediately available and I need the finished product right away.Is there a way now to say I'm splitting the current job into a 30 piece, 50 piece, and 20 piece job without having to finish (or cancel) the entire job or recreate several individually. It is also about the final accounting.

Is there a way to add multiple finished goods in 1 BNR? Example,  I have 50 KG of product that will pack out into 2 ea. 10 KG containers/lids, 4 ea. 5 KG containers/lids, 10 ea. 1 KG containers/ lids. Each container is a different size. This will come from a single sales order and I would like to only make 1 BNR for our production order. I know I can move multiple finished goods, but would like to created then in 1 BNR.

Hi, I’m looking to add an automation schedule to close production orders only when Qty to Produce and Qty Completed on the production order match. Would anyone know how I can achieve that in the conditions screen?Thanks. 

Hi Everyone,Quick Question:At a high level, what are the transaction requirements to have the “Tax Summary” Report generate with data? Essentially, We are looking for a report to summarize all sales taxes charged to customers on Sales Orders based on either Tax ID and/or Tax agency on a monthly basis.    We have the Company, branch, tax agency, and periods set up. We also have Sales Orders completed and invoiced. If the “Tax Summary” report would not be the best method to summarize and view this data, what would be the best approach?open to any ideas, suggestions.Thanks.

We produce custom products and need to update the production order details operations and materials for every order to account for the material differences.  Using the rest API the PUT returns a 200, but the the data for the operations for the production order details is not updated. The production order when it is created has extra operations that need to be removed to accurately show the custom work centersHow can the production order work centers be updated via the API? How can the materials be updated via the API?

When a sub-component production order is created from a parent production order, there is a relationship created on the detail line of the parent to the supply production order:Is there any way to create this relationship other than generating the prodction order from the parent?  For example, if a subcomponent production order is created independently from a parent, can the relationship be added to a parent production order? 

Hello together, I have a general question. Why is it possible to insert the same item as material in the Production BOM Details as the item to be produced and not in the Basic BOM? When I insert as material in the basic BOM the same item as in the header, an error appears:In the Production Order Details the base BOM is taken as a basis and there it is possible to insert the same item as in the head. The MRP then calculates the demand based on the production orders and sales orders. In the Acumatica help it says this.But I don't understand why it is possible in the production details but not in the basic BOM.Could someone explain this to me? 

If fixed manufacturing time is used for production then will it be always the same even if the quantity on the production order differs?for example, a production order for item A has qty of 500 and another production order for item A has qty of 1000, and fixed manufacturing time is set to 1 week. Will it be 1 week for both orders?For change of Qty system is not increasing the dates.
