Manufacturing

Is it possible to override the default WIP account in a production order when using a labor transaction? I need to hit a COGS for shop labor GL and not a manufactured products/material GL account. Reason being, the GL account for labor is in the account group for a labor line in the project cost budget. The default WIP is linked to the the materials line item in the cost budget. So I am having to post an extra project transaction that reclasses from materials line to labor. I would like to avoid this if possible. If there is a better way to get hours/dollars into production orders and accomplish the same, I’m open to that as well. I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard and I’m fighting the system. 

Hi all,we are currently using the Acumatica mobile application on scanners, but it is limited to certain screens.Is it possible to add additional screens, such as Move and Materials from Production Orders in the Manufacturing module, to the mobile application for scanner use?I wanted to check whether this can be done through configuration, mobile app setup, or features settings, or if it would require a customization.  

Hi everyone,We were having issue with the MRP,We have two separate projects, and each project has one Production order. Both production orders use the same BOM and the same material item. Both Projects are configured with inventory tracking = Track by Project quantity and cost.Scenario details: Projects ID Production Order Nbr Start Date BOM ID Purchase Order PROJ-VK-45 ORDER41326 5/11/26 BOM1 008815 JB-007 ORDER2 4/27/26 BOM1    Test steps:Created both production orders under two different projects. Since ORDER2 had the earlier start date, I placed ORDER2 on hold for testing purposes. Ran Regenerate Inventory Planning. Based on the demand from ORDER41326, the system created the supply suggestion, and we created a Purchase Order 008815 Then I removed ORDER2 from hold Ran MRP again Reviewed Inventory Planning Results by Item.Issue observed: After the second MRP run, the s

Hi all,I have a question regarding the BOM Compare screen in Multi- Level BOM.when I compare two revisions of the same Bill of Materials, the compare does not explode down to the lower material level to show the detailed component changes. Because of this, I’m not able to clearly identify the exact changes at the lower level unless I manually go and perform the BOM compare on the Lower-Level BOM itself.Is this the intended behavior of the screen, or is there any setting, configuration, or process that needs to be enabled so that it can explode fully and show the lower-level material changes directly?  

Issue description If a production order was created from the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form for a non-lot/serial tracked item or a lot/serial tracked item with the When Used assignment method, there was a mismatch between the Qty. to Produce in the Summary area and the Quantity column on the Line Details tab on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form (see the following screenshot). On the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form, the system displays incorrect allocation for the production order that was created (as the following screenshot shows).  In this scenario, when the quantity in the Quantity column on the Line Details tab is less than the quantity shown in the Qty to Produce box in the Summary area, the demand reoccurs on the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form, and this results in incorrect MRP Planning. Root cause This is a known issue for the following builds of Acumatica ERP:2025 R1 Service Pack 1 (Build 25.101.0153 ) and later 2024 R2 Update

I’ve noticed over the years that a string like .../(W(104))/… can be found in URLS, but I’ve never been able to determine what this indicates.  I can create a link without this section of the URL, however it resolves back with a number when the site comes up.  Can someone help me understand?

Hi,Can the attributes from inventory item screen be added as a field into a customization? I am looking to add a few attributes from inventory items to the Sales Orders detail tab so when entering an line item for an order it will lookup the field from the attributes. I cannot see the attributes I have created to add them. Any thoughts? 

When I link an open Purchase Order to a Production Order using the PO Link button, the PO and Line do not show on the outside process tab. Does that tab only show the PO when you create the PO from the Production Order? 

We are an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) company where Available-to-Promise (ATP) dates are critical to our customers. These dates depend on multiple factors, including supplier lead times, manufacturing cycle times, shipping, and also engineering/design time.We are exploring ways to better incorporate engineering capacity into our scheduling and ATP calculations.Has anyone modeled Engineering as a work center within Acumatica to account for design capacity and better reflect its impact on delivery dates?If so, how was it configured, and did it effectively improve ATP accuracy? Are there alternative approaches within Acumatica to include engineering lead time and capacity constraints in the planning process?Thank you Daniel Lago

Hello, We are currently in the process of upgrade from 23R2 to 25R2. In the process, of upgrade we encountered an issue with scrapping on production orders. A case/Bug has been opened with Acumatica. However, we do not have an established timeline for resolution at this time.  Problem:When performing a scrap on a production operation the Production Order Detail will record the scrap on the operation in which it was performed. However, the scrapped qty will not update in the first operations QTY remaining and QTY to Produce Columns. All upstream operations, from before the scrap action will remain in a “Completed” status. In our production environment, if a scrap occurs, we must start over from Operation ID 0010.This means, we have completely lost visibility to a production order in the upstream work centers that is starting over in the production process due to scrap. This also means, we lose our Material transactions and labor cost associated to the rework of the product in the upstre

Hi,Looking for input on how to correct a product configuration and resulting production order that is in progress or completed.Scenario: A production order is created and partially completed, when it is decided that there needs to be a small change to the configuration. We manufacture portable storage buildings (pineviewbuildings.com) and in our case, this might be something as simple as changing the paint color due to a customer request or inventory needs changing midstream. The more common scenario is that a production employee made a mistake in the construction and now the configuration needs to be corrected to match the physical unit. Currently, there is no option modify the product configuration in any way after the production order has been released. The closest we can come is creating a new production order that consumes the finished good from the first production order, create the correct configuration result and then manually modify the materials. This, as you can imagine is v

We are adding a new role (raw material handler) in our manufacturing department. Among other duties,  this individual will be tasked with pulling the raw material needed for upcoming production orders and moving that material to a production staging area.    In order to streamline this process we are looking for a report that they can use to direct them to the material they need to pull.  My initial thought is that the report needs to contain the following information:Raw Material Inventory ID Qty of material on hand (broken down by Lot/SN & Inventory Location) Production Order driving demand Demand Qty on Production order Work Center on Bill of Material operation that is driving demand. In a ideal world the report would be sorted by inventory ID with the other information flowing from there,  but I am thinking we really need to drive this from the Production orders with released status, and then flow down to the inventory ID, qty, stock location etc.  Does anyone know if a repo

We are on 25R2 modern UI and using the New Release Process for Manufacturing.  I have seen two glitches so far, and wondered if anyone else has seen these in their instance:A Move that completes an operation no longer records Actual Start Date and Actual End Date in the AMProdOper (Production Details, routing section) table.  We have critical reports that rely on these dates, and they are broken right now due to this issue. The final Move (production receipt) for a linked Production Order to SO Line no longer allocates the inventory to the SO Line.  You have to delete the SO Line and re-add it to invoice the sales order.  The issue this creates for us is that the production order loses the link to the Sales Order, also breaking critical reports that help us report on stock product versus build-to-order product.I don’t see a way to undo the New Release Process, but I would like to.

Hello all,I have been trying to create child Prod Orders, but unfortunately, when I click on Generate Orders for Subassemblies option under Prod Order Maintenance → More Menu, it runs & then says “The Operation has been complted”, but it doesnt generate any child orders. Also, I have defined default BOMs for my subassembly parts & also have defined Production Default Source as Manufacturing.How can I resolve this?

Is there a way in the MFG BOM to have the Component flagged to only pull from Lot number?In other ERP systems ( like GP) , there is a single lot feature. Goal is have MRP understand that our component can only be consumed from one lot.  

We use serial tracked products that sometimes get consumed into other internal orders but sometimes get sold as is to the customer. We are having a hard time finding a way to get a list of serial tracked items that have neither been consumed into other orders nor sold to the customer. Any guidance of how to best pull together this information into a GI that employees can check against? I’m thinking probably some combination of ARTran and AMMTran info

We are having an issue attempting to partially ship an SO line linked to a partially completed production order.  Work order/SO quantity is 100, we have 50 complete.  Selecting the SO line shows 50 on hand/ available / available for shipping, but none allocated.  Line details shows the below, which looks strange from what I recall in the past.  This hasn’t been an issue in the past but we recently upgraded to 25.201.0213.2 and this isn’t something we do often so wondering if it is a bug or some obscure setting that now needs to be changed.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks,Dan

In the Acumatica Manufacturing module, we occasionally need to run two production orders in parallel on the same work center (for example, when one order requires an earlier completion date or due to other scheduling priorities).What is the recommended approach in Acumatica to support this scenario?Is adjusting the start dates and splitting the crew the only option, or is there a way within the system (e.g., capacity settings, overlapping operations, or configuration of the work center) to allow multiple production orders to run concurrently on the same work center?

We overproduce on our first operation sometimes. I want to be able to overproduce at that time. However, I do not want to allow for people to be to go crazy or not have the rest of the order qty’s controls in place that make each operation qty’s match.  Example set system to overproduce So, on operation 10 qty to produce was 100They were able to produce 150, and they complete 150 Then on operation 20 because system is set to allow over production, even though there are only 150 to make they complete 180.  I was trying to come up with the best solution so I could overproduce but keep the integrity of the locked system in place. Maybe some kind of buyoff and order adjustment? Operator triggers an over production buyoff, and some corrects the order qty? I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if something already exists.  

In our manufacturing process the logistics team wraps our cabinets, which are pieces of our displays. The wrapped cabinets go into crates which are grouped and shipped as an entire process for assembly in a site.  Hitting the Available-to-Promise is critical to our customer, and for this reason we would like the production schedule to factor the time consumed to pack and crate.  Has anyone model logistics as a work center?  How do you factor logistics capacity down time when the is not available to pack because they are receiving material? 

This is what I’ve been able to build but I want to make section that gives me a final number of how many I can build. Not have it show me what the lowest number in stock that I have. I want to see a section that says I can only build 6. 

Our process is Engineering creates BOM, Production Planning creates the Production Order under the Project, and the BOM is linked to the Production Order to generate material demand. Purchasing then procures material based on that demand.Our challenge is with ECO driven BOM revisions. If the Production order is still in Planning status, we can update the order with the new BOM revision and regenerate the demand successfully. However, after the Production Order is Released and material has been Issued, the status moves to In-Process, and we are no longer able to update the Production Order with the latest BOM revision.In this situation, the only option we currently see is to reverse the material issues, delete the existing Production Order, recreate a new Production order with the updated BOM revision, and then proceed again. This is operationally heavy and inefficient.I would like to know whether Acumatica provides any standard functionality, recommended process, or best practice for h

When performing a mass multi‑level cost roll, Acumatica doesn't recalculate bill levels for manufactured items from other branches or update their costs in the receiving branch’s assembly. It simply uses the existing standard cost.As a workaround, the mass cost roll process must be run twice. The first run does not pull the most recent standard cost from the sending branch, resulting in an inaccurate assembly cost in the receiving branch. The second run then captures the correct sending‑branch cost and updates the assembly cost appropriately.Can the cost roll process be corrected instead of repeating the mass cost roll process?

We are about a year into using ACM and are still refining our reporting specifically around product availability.We take at once and future orders(a year or more sometimes) and our planning department is trying to get a shortage report based on a inputted time fence. We allocate inventory to orders 60 days out. We are trying to write a report to see where were are short of inventory in a 90 day window and a 120 day window. Short is defined as a)total on hand inventory, less hard orders b)total on hand inventory less hard order and forecasts. I was going to create a GI based on item time fence to net out the appropriate elements from PX.Objects.AM.AMRPPlan. This seems cumbersome, how are other doing this?  

Hello! Is there any way to have the Record Notes / Pop-Up Notes show up when we enter a material line directly into the Production Order Details? Currently we have a bunch of items that are Kanban and we do not want anyone to use the Mark for PO functionality to set purchase demand without checking stock first. Initially I put pop-up notes on the specific Kanban Stock Items and found that it didn’t pop-up when entered into the Prod. Ord. Details screen. Thought I’d try and see if it would copy as an internal note instead and came to the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
