Manufacturing

Background:Client has bill of material with two operations. Their process is to issue all materials upon release of the production order. They backflush labor however at this time no labor is being capitalized due to $0 cost in the work centers. Client uses the FIFO valuation method. Issue:Upon release of a production order and related material, client creates a move transaction for some of the planned items. For example, if the Production order is for 450 items, the first move transaction may be for 100 items. When they create the move transaction, the material costs to produce 450 items gets allocated to the 100 items in the first move. When the remainder of the items are completed, they are put into inventory at $0. Why doesn’t the system allocate the appropriate cost to the items as they are completed so that each item is costed the same? 

We have customers who use Average cost valuation on their compoenent and raw material inventory valuation.Currently, when a production order is created from a Bill of Material, the average unit cost from the stock item is used as the planned unit cost for these items on the production order.  Our customers would like retain the material unit cost entered on their Bills of Material to the material unit cost on production orders created from the Bill of Material. Is there a configuration that accomplishes this?

Hello the regenerate MRP, show me next message error:   Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BranchID', table 'AcumaticaDB.dbo.AMRPDetailFP'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.Could you send me any idea what is the error? Best regards

Good Morning, I trying to close production orders by warehouse by automation schedule. here are the conditions. when it runs, it says 0 records, when I know there are records to be closed. Has anyone tried this or can explain what I am doing wrong?I did try process all as well and it also says 0 records.  

Has anyone else had issues with 2022R1 and how Production Orders and MRP relate? We just upgraded to 2022R1 and I am now having issues - wondering if there is a setting that changed that we didn’t catch when testing. Production order is set with a start on date of 2/27/2023. There is a PO for the item needed that is open with a due date of 1/10/2023. MRP is saying we still need to order the items with a Promise Date of 10/10/2022.  I can’t tell where MRP is pulling the 10/10/2022 promise date from. Any ideas? 

Fairly certain this is not a thing, but I wanted to verify.They always create production orders from sales orders.Would like to have the same number as the ID for both documents.So if you have SO12345 and create a production order from it, the production order ID is also 12345. Unless I hear otherwise, I will assume this is not possible as standard functionality.Thanks!

After a production order is closed or completed, can you still issue additional material to the production order?  Can you enter more labor?

Hi,I need to use 1 generic BOM for probably thousands of Items. these Inventory Items for their production will have slight variations but it would be easier to be managed in Production mainetnance detail. assigning an inventry Item to the BOM as a mandatory field makes it restricted to only that BOM. is there any way around this? I don’t want to use the Configuration because the options are also too many. what would be your suggestion. Thanks For your help in advance. 

I have client that needs to remove items from production to be used for other purposes. For example, they produce 10 widgets and at the move they want to put 8 into inventory and charge 2 to scrap expense account. The client backflushes material and labor.I configured the system as follows:In the related work center, I set the scrap action to Write Off In the Production Order Preferences, I marked the checkbox to Include Scrap in Completions so the order completes since there will be no additional items produced I created a reason code with a usage type Production. The Acumatica help guide says the reason code should be of the type Production Scrap, but this is not an option.When the move transaction is initiated, using the example above, 8 items are completed and put in inventory, but, at a cost of all 10. The reason code field is not editable, and I cannot figure out how it gets populated.Any insight into what I am doing wro

From a production order you can create a PO.  If I purchase material this way it seems that a linkage should have been created from the PO to the production order.  Where can I see that linkage?I don’t see where I can see linked POs on the production order.I don’t see where I can see the linked production order on the PO.Thanks!

The material wizard AM300020 should show me the list of materials to be consumed. From this interface, I will have to take out the materials and create the "Material Management" documents.but nothing is displayed

Hi,Does anyone have an example of a working Production Order Maintenance import scenario?Currently doing an import for the Qty to Produce field - per usual, keys (Order Type, Production Nbr) are committed first, which during manual entry would populate the form with relevant details such as inventory ID, warehouse, etc.However, have not seen it working with this screen in particular.  Import scenario (refer active rows) Error Have tried multiple configurations of commit/hold/etc, but have yet to get any working. Appreciate any help provided.

We have a generic inquiry for Move where we display the AMBatch Total Amount and the INRegister Total Cost. We are currently only using final moves from WIP into Inventory, not from operation to operation.How/When is the AMBatch Total Amount populated?  Why are so many zero?Acumatica Build 22.115.0035Valuation Method: AverageProduction Order Costing Method: EstimatedSee attached snipping of our Move GI 

  Expedite the Engineering to Manufacturing Hand-off with Connected Product Lifecycle ManagementTuesday, December 13, 2022 at 11:00am PT Design for manufacturing (DFM) is a complicated process, and, to make it successful, everyone must be on the same page. But there’s a catch. Many engineers have no access to ERP data because they only work with product lifecycle management (PLM) software. They may also struggle to sync engineering and manufacturing bills of materials (eBOMs and mBOMS) in the ERP system.

Hi all,I am using Sales Demo data to test Engineering Change Request, and I am facing the error “Error: An error occurred during processing of the field Vendor value AASERVICES Error: Vendor 'AASERVICES' cannot be found in the system. Please verify whether you have proper access rights to this object” when checking on checkbox Outside Process and selecting any Vendor. Currently, I am using Acumatica ERP 2020 R2 Build 20.222.0017.Have you any idea about the error or I missed any configuration?Thanks, in advance.

Hello everyone!I have a problem in the manufacturing moduleHow is a production order received and the finished product inventory updated?thanks

Does anyone have an import template for multi level BOMs.  I have BOMs that have multiple levels and include Outside processing. 2020 R2.

Form “MRP Display”When is the document type Shipment used by the system and when the type Sales Order ?I created two Sales Orders and run MRP. One has the type Shipment, the other one Sales order.

On the form “MRP-Display” it is possible to create any order type regardless of the settings of the item.I have a planned purchase order because of the settings which is good. But it is possible to create a Production order based on this planned purchase order without any warning / error / infolog! Is there a set up to activate a plausibility check?  

I have an item that we purchase through MRP and use in manufacturing. This item is in base unit LF and we purchase in Rolls. When purchasing in Rolls, you must buy a full roll - it is not divisible.In the Create PO pop-up, it converts the LF to Roll which is great but it doesn’t seem to round up and so the PO can’t be created.I must be missing something here. How can I get the quantity to round up? It should always be a full number (1,2,3,4,5 rolls, etc.)

We have a few production orders that were closed out before the supervisor approved clock time entries.  I have accounted for the time/cost by doing a project transaction for each project affected however I’m now simply wanting to delete the time entries off the “Approve Clock Entries” screen.  Anyone have a trick to do this?I thought I could simply delete them using the “Delete” button but that doesn’t seem to work.   

The customer is using Multi-Level BOM with Phantom Parts. Cost Rollup is a bit inconsistent. for some subassemblies it’s adding up the cost to Parent Part, for others it's not incorporating. Any pointers?  

Hi Folks, The customer operates in Multi Br. Environment.  As for the labour recovery, labour has been recovered at our one branch i.e. A, however, these are all incorrect as the blast and paint, and FIT UP work centres belong to Branch B. They want to recovery sub-Account to be attributed from Branch BWhat is the best way to achieve this?Where the system picks up labour recovery account.  

Hello,Sometimes operations are completed out of order on a production order.  Assuming the production order’s operations are numbered 10, 20, 30, etc…. I give the following example.If I say I completed operation 40, Acumatica then marks operation 10,20 and 30 as completed as well.  It does this even if they are not marked as backflushed.If I make operation 30 a control point, I will get an error when I try to report a completion on 40.However, I legitimately want to report a completion on 40.  And not have operations 10, 20 or 30 record the completion since I just did operation 40 only.There is no way in Acumatica to report against operations out of order is there?Thanks!Larry

Is there any way to Enter AP Bill and Add Cost to Production Order directly?
