What is the trick to get a default value on this screen for the Warehouse? It is a customized screen vs a GI, but am not entirely sure. Does it need to be coded in, or can it be added in a simpler manner? Thanks   

We’re trying to use planning BOMs, but don’t understand how Acumatica intends for us to handle them. Does anyone know of a good resource that explains the intended functionality? What we are envisioning is:Engineering creates a BOM that is somehow designated as “Planning” This BOM would not be able to be used to create a production order This BOM would work for MRP planning At some point, engineering converts the planning BOM to a “real” BOM Then manufacturing can create a production order and proceed as normal. Is the above at all similar to the process Acumatica designed?

I’m getting the below error when trying to Close a Production Order: Error: Updating 'Production Item Split' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors.Specify the quantity greater than 0.    Which screen/section should I review to find the split line with 0 quantity? What is the recommended fix for old production orders where the split record has 0 qty (update split, clear allocation, add a completion, etc.)?

We have a few blends of product that need to sit in the tank overnight to finish processing.  Our shift is M-TH 6:00am - 4:30pm.  The tank (machine) shows the same schedule, but we have machine time on the BOM as 16 hours.  The APS module is scheduling it over 2 - 3 days depending on the start time.  Our employees do not need to be present for the processing to take place once ingredients are placed in the tank.  If I change the machine shift to 24/7, it still will not calculate appropriately.  If I change the work center to have the 24/7 shift, it schedules around the clock.  I have tried to use queue time and finish time as well, but they are not yielding appropriate results either.  Essentially, I need 1-2 hours of shift time and the remaining is processing time overnight, then the tank can be emptied the following morning, cleaned and reused.  Is it possible to replicate this scenario on a BOM & in the APS module?

Hi Community,I have two configuration- related questions regarding Production Order behavior1.Default Status when creating a New Production Order: when creating a new Production Order, it automatically goes to Planned Status. Is there a way to make it default to Hold status first?2. In the Production Order Maintenance – Reference tab- when using an Inventory ID that already has a BOM assigned, should the system automatically pull the BOM ID and Revision? Is there any way both BOM ID and BOM Revision can be left blank by default? I’m trying to understand if this is standard system behavior or controlled by configuration.

We were eagerly awaiting 2025R1 to be able to cancel/correct purchase receipts without having to go through AP to get the process completed.  We were hoping for a simple reversal feature that could make things easier when a mistake was made.I’m just now learning that if we want to use the purchase receipt cancel/correct functionality, the Manufacturing or Service Management functionality cannot be enabled in the Enable/Disable Features. Does anyone know the reason why this feature is not available if you use the Manufacturing or Service Management functions?

For exmaple,Vendor Lead Time as 100 days for Warehouse 1Vendor Lead Time as 200 days for Warehouse 2  etc...

Hello All,We are implementing Acumatica and are debating whether to use AWS or SharePoint to store document.  In our case, we would like to give access to a Contract Manufacturer only to specific subset of design documents.  Has anyone implemented solution capable of controlled access, upload nottifications, and revision control?

Hi All,Acumatica's Production Cycle for a manufactured product consists of 2 major steps: 1) produce volume first and then 2) subsequently, pack the volume into the required SKU.In such a scenario, is there a way to ensure that there is full availability of all materials required for producing a specific volume of a product, prior to confirming a Production Order? If yes, how and where can this be implemented/checked? In other words, a Production Order should not be allowed to proceed further (any subsequent steps) if there is either no or not enough material as required to produce a specific volume of the manufactured product.The same applies to the 2nd part above i.e. to again ensure that all packaging material required is available in full quantity during a request for Packaging Materials. Since this is a separate TR request (Inter Warehouse Transfer), how to ensure that this TR request is tied to the Production Order from step 1 above? The reason being, in o

Our team is currently in the middle of an implementation of Acumatica 2025R1. We have the manufacturing module.  With our existing process, we would make a production order for 100 parts with an outside process operation. We might only have a portion of the parts ready for outside processing, and would make a PO for those parts and send them for outside processing. Later, we may send another portion from the same production order on another purchase order, etc., until all parts have been sent for outside processing. The parts from the earlier PO might return before the other parts, and we would start working on the next operation for those quantities.  Is there a way to achieve this process in Acumatica? We want to be able to track the costs from the purchase orders on the production order and track the quantities sent to the vendor, including how many have been returned and how many are waiting to go.

Hello Experts, I am unbale to figure out how to view the total number of production order with ageing category. I Tried creating GI but still facing problem how to group .Please let me know where am i missing .So my output result should look like:- 

I have a GI that shows the Qty On Hand for each item by Warehouse. I want to get the total quantity on open Production orders at that warehouse for that item.  What tables/DACs do I need to join to my GI to pull in those numbers? 

We just recently updated to version 2024R2 and since then have found our MRP generation is not consuming the forecasted demand.  For instance our forecast for January 2025 has already been consumed by SO that exceed our forecast.  However, MRP is planning to the original forecasted demand.

Hello experts, I was looking to create a Generic Inquiry for Aging category of production order , I found this Generic inquiry for reference can anyone suggest me is it fine for the reference but still i am confused is it possible can we  show the aging category in this GI Report ? 

Looking for some clarification & guidance. We are testing the Inventory Planning in Acumatica and one of the things I have noticed is the Min Order Qty on the Inventory Planning Tab of a Stock Item does not seem to utilized during the Planning Regeneration.In the example below, Stock Item 68000 has Safety Stock = 5, Min Order Qty = 10. I currently have Qty On Hand = 0.I would think that when Regeneration occurs, it would look at demand (currently 0), then check Safety Stock, determine in this case we need to place an order to fulfill the safety stock demand, and then use Min Order Qty if value exists. However, it doesn’t seem to use it at all. Only workaround I have found, is to set Min Order Qty on the Vendor Tab for the default Vendor and that does seem to work. If it is intended to be Vendor Dependent, then it seems odd this setting is there.

Hi Everyone, I’d like to pass a list of values instead of calling out the items 1 by 1. There are many options in the conditions drop down. But the documentation does not specify how they should be used, or provide limitations.  

Hi All, I am struggling with an import for the configurator maintenance screen. The last topics were years ago and those xml files error when i try them.  Am I right in my understanding that you need to have an import per feature for the options. So for each feature and that features options you would need to have a separate import or is this possible on one import. Any help or examples would be appreciated

In Acumatica Manufacturing, is it possible to configure variable overhead GL postings to use the same WIP subaccount as the related Production Order, instead of the subaccount defined on the Overhead Code?

I’m currently testing the ability to find out what lot codes of consumables (like glue, RTV, fujipoly) or serialized parts were used in a serialized product. When I use the As Built Configuration and type in the serial number of the product, I am only shown the details of the parent production order. I’ve set the “Levels to Display” to a higher number than 1, which should have expanded the view to include child production orders, but nothing changed. My company is currently on version 25R1. Would appreciate any assistance getting the As Built Configurator working! Thanks!

We are working through some orphaned data in our system from our conversion. This data is all from 2022. I hoped there was a way to use buckets or something else to exclude this data from everything else ( or ignore it altogether). This is throwing our MRP numbers off and reconciling these orders is happening, but is time consuming, 

Hello Manufacturing and Distribution Experts,I am currently working with a customer who is transitioning from SAP to Acumatica. We've encountered a significant difference in how the two systems handle MRP planning suggestions when the required action date (start date) is in the past due to lead times. In SAP's MRP logic, the system typically performs automatic "forward scheduling" when a backward-scheduled start date falls in the past. It automatically moves the suggested order date to the earliest possible current date and issues an exception message. Acumatica, as we understand it, requires a more manual process using exceptions and date updates.I am thinking about  proposing the following workflow to our client, and I'd like the team's validation:Our Proposed Workflow for Past-Due Demands:MRP runs and generates planned order suggestions with dates in the past. The planner uses the Invento

I created a Bill of Material with operation IDs 10, 15, 20, and 30. When I create a production order using this Bill of Material, the operation IDs in the production order appear as 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.The custom columns maintained in operation ID 15 of the Bill of Material are shown under operation ID 20 in the production order. Additionally, an extra operation ID 50 is created in the production order, even though it does not exist in the Bill of Material, and operation ID 15 is missing from the production order.Similarly, the custom columns maintained in operation ID 30 of the Bill of Material are shown under operation ID 40 in the production order. 

Hello, group,Long time listener, first time caller… We’re just getting started using the Rough Cut Planning and Production Schedule Board Modules and we’re wondering if there is a way to easily export the Production Schedule Boards. It’s old-school, but while we’re learning the tool, I would like each plant to print the Production Schedule Boards out for their Production Teams to review until we are fully comfortable with the tool and can display on a large monitor. We’re on release 2025 R1.  Thanks...
