Is it possible to add a total (Summary) at the Bottom or the Top of a Generic Inquiry in an area as highlighted on the screen shot below.   We want to get a Total for all the orders in the list. 

Hello--We are looking for the best approach to externally feed data and selections into the manufacturing product configurator.For instance, if a certain combo box option is selected on the sales order, data from another field or table is automatically fed into the product configurator.  Looking for information on any of the following:How to use import scenarios with product configurator How to use API with product configurator And endpoint extension you can send me? Business events or push notifications with product configurator How product configurator keys work and if these keys can be externally generated and fed into the SOThank you!! 

Good day On the MRP display it show that i need to order stock from a production order.However when we create the purchase order it does not link the purchase order back to the production order and the lines on the purchase order are created as goods for IN instead of goods for MFG.This causes confusion as you cannot see if the order has been placed or what the order is generated for.Build version is 22.209.0029Does the MRP always order for stock instead of for production?Thank you 

Hi All, My client is running production in 1 warehouse but materials are stored in multiple locations. they don’t use backflushing and material will be issued using the material wizard. However, the material lines on the Production could be stored in any location in that warehouse. when we run the Wizard if we don’t have enough on hand on that location the line is not brought over to the material screen. so my suggestions were 1:we have to make sure either to transfer the material beforehand (they don’t like this idea as this is adding extra step compared to what they do now) or 2: change the location on the production order detail looking trough the magnifier (they don’t like this either as it is manual) . They use WMS and they say when they create a production ticket that system aslo gives them a picking list for material issue. if I don’t chage the Location and leave it to be the main here is what happens: the Lines which we don’t have enough on hand will not come over and we cannot

 I have a question about controlling in manufacturing. Do you know if and how a cost allocation / distribution to an order can be done. Our customer determines overheads based on statistical value when creating a production order. But these are theoretical costs and a kind of pre-calculation.Is it possible to assign actual costs after post-calculation/ after completed Production Order ? Thank you in advance. 

Looking for a way to highlight/show the Production Orders in the system where there is enough material on-hand/available to make the order.Short of having to look at Critical Material for each Production Order, does anyone have any recommendations on a way to get this information? 

We’re working through our implementation of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling module. We’ve successfully setup a few BoMs, Machines, Calendars, etc AND have managed to schedule test orders with predictable results. several wins all around BUT there’s something we might be missing… Threaded Scheduling ( I made that name up )When scheduling a large order where individual Operations span multiple days we’ve noticed that it’s all scheduled logically as one long plan, not ideal for our environment. Let’s try this scenario...Assumptions : Operation 1 references a Work Center that resides in Warehouse A. Operation 2 references a Work Center that resides in Warehouse A, though we may opt to move Operation 2 into a different Warehouse within the same building.Scenario : We need to make 100 widgets and the BoM has two Operations. Operation 1 takes five days to complete and each day it completes 20 widgets. Operation 2 takes five days to complete and each day it completes 20 widgets.Observatio

 How can I get the Phantom Inventory ID to show up on the Production Ticket Details?I can pull in the Phantom BOM ID but how do I link the Phantom BOM ID to pull in the Inventory ID/Item Description? What joins do I need to make this happen? Attached is screen shot of what my production ticket looks like and the tables from the report.     

Hi, We are currently piloting the Acumatica production order system. We are planning on using Advanced Planning to schedule production orders. When we run scheduling from rough cut planning screen , most of the production orders schedule just fine. We however, have a few that will not schedule. I suspect that this is due to some material constraints. These are lower level production orders generated from the ‘generate sub assemply’ feature on production orders.For the production order type, we are not checking for material availabilityFor each of the detail items on the production order on the material tab - we have set to do not check material availability.Our issue, is that the system gives us no clue or message as to why the production order will not schedule. There are no error messages or warnings, so it is very difficult to figure out why it will not schedule.Does anyone have any tips on how I might figure out why a production order will not schedule given the limitations on feed

Hi All,I am pretty sure I am just missing something but does anyone know how I can add a second lot number to Production maintenance? When I add a second line and save, it moves all the qty to the first lot number.  

Is there a way to allow more than 2 decimals for Qty Required? This makes it extremely difficult to accurately plan and create raw material orders especially when dealing in pounds.

Are there any built in or custom Dashboards for Engineering Change Order / Request ?

Scenario:Configuration ID has Features and Options within the Features. The Options have subassembly Inventory IDs with BOMs. These BOMs have Operation Work Centers. Each of these Work Centers has a material list of items that need to go to that Work Center. The Work Centers in this BOM match the Work Centers in the Configuration ID BOM ID. These materials, for the most part, are all stocked, finished goods. The materials within these Work Centers, should be rolled up/added to the Work Centers of the Configuration ID BOM ID. When using Phantom routing “Exclude” it ignores the operation Work Centers of the subassembly BOM and adds the material to the Operation ID of the Feature Option. This, adds the materials to the WRONG Work Center. When using Phantom routing “After” it adds the operation Work Centers of the subassembly BOM and adds DUPLICATE Work Centers for each Work Center of each Option BOM selected. I assume that “Before” will do the same, but add the Operation Work Center, as a

We would find it very helpful to be able to add a subassembly to Production Details, mark as phantom, and upon saving, the materials in the subassembly would be added to Production Details instead of the assembly itself.Use case: we have kits or groups of parts that need to be added to the product order in a certain operation when a customer wants us to customize a trailer a certain way.  These are not true subassemblies that can be built ahead of time with a separate work order.  We actually do not want a separate work order.  Therefore, we would rather have the materials of the subassembly BOM simply added to the product order in a certain operation.  This saves time from having to manually look up the subassembly BOM and add the 10 components manually to the product order.  We could simply add the subassembly, mark phantom, and upon save the 10 components would be added to the product order.Does anyone else out there have a use case for this?  I know certain product configurators wi

Does anyone use CADTALK NEST or NESTLink to integrate their nesting program with Acumatica? 

Looking for insight/opinions on scanners/tools to use the Mobile App on my production floor.  What scanners have you used?  Are there options out there for integration of the scanner to have the Acumatica Mobile app directly on the scanner?  Traps and pitfalls setting up the system and using the mobile app for transfers? My use case is to have material handlers stocking and pulling inventory from specific locations to different specific locations.  Looking for what has worked best for other companies.  I will have forklift drivers and pallet jack operators making the transfers, so I need something rugged and user friendly.

I have a production order and done a material release transaction. In the even I want to return part of the materials before completing the order how best can I do this in Acumatica?

Hello,We have a Sales Order(#1) with a linked production order.  We have QTY in stock and wish to ship against another sales order(#2).  We removed the linkage between the SO(#1) and the production order.  However, when we look at the Inventory Allocation details screen, it still shows the QTY is allocated to this Sales order(#1) with allocation type “SO Allocated”.We were hoping breaking the linkage to the production order would remove the allocation.How do we eliminate the allocation so we can ship against the other Sales Order(#2)?

How system takes promise date for planned production orders in MRP Detail Inquiry. I would like to know in three different constraintFinishes on Starts on User Entry We take for an assumption 6 working days as manufacturing lead time. How system takes promise date for all the three scenarios. 

Has anyone had success in putting the clock entry as a side panel on the work center dispatch generic inquiry?  My client wants to use it and have the ability to pick an employee from the lookup on the clock entry, but it seems to only work if you use the CURRENT USER button.Any ideas would be appreciated

We have an issue where our team processed a production Move transaction for the incorrect qty. Finished goods is now overstated and raw/pack understated. What is the best way to return and deconstruct some of that product to reduce our FG and increase the Raw/Packs?

Has anyone tried to concatenate a barcode for the Scan Move form?  For example, I would like to concatenate Production Nbr & Operation & Quantity into one bar code.  I attempted to modify the Production Ticket with Barcode and attemped these codes for starters: =[AMProdItem.ProdOrdID]+'<CR>'+[AMProdOper.OperationCD]=[AMProdItem.ProdOrdID]+'Chr(13)'+[AMProdOper.OperationCD]=[AMProdItem.ProdOrdID]+'Chr(19)'+[AMProdOper.OperationCD]=[AMProdItem.ProdOrdID]+’\n’+[AMProdOper.OperationCD]=[AMProdItem.ProdOrdID]+’\r’+’\n’+[AMProdOper.OperationCD] I obviously don’t know what I’m doing trying to code the carriage return / pause/break / line feed to make it work with the Scan Move form.  The codes above do combine it into one barcode, but the issue is whether I can code something into the barcode that pauses for a second while the Scan Move form moves on to the next prompt. 

We are a manufacturing facility and are looking for input from other manufacturers on what you find works best for you, as far as being able to tell what materials we need to fulfill orders, whether it be PO’s to order Raw Material or Work Orders to build inventory in-house.We have tried Critical Materials and MRP. Critical Materials doesn’t seem to look at the whole picture, when we enter a WO #, the system seems to only see if you have enough materials to build that one WO.  When we look at MRP, we see a whole other story of what items need to be ordered or built.Keep in mind, we also need to be able to link Parent Item WO’s with Children Item WO’s.I look forward to seeing what my fellow community members have to say about this.

This may be simplicity, but I honestly cannot figure this out. I created and released the below Production Order:And I’m seeing it on the Schedule Board, but it’s not taking up any capacity in the Production Schedule Board. What am I doing wrong? I have the BOM, routing, and calendar all set up 

What is the purpose of Having a Plan order in MRP preference screen? When this is going to use in the MRP process? While creating production order MRP system automatically suggests RO order.
