Manufacturing

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. 

We are trying to cancel a order and the following error is generated “The status of the production order cannot be changed because it has related transactions that are not released.”  Here is the background on this production: When the production ticket was created the wrong BOM was used.  We corrected the BOM issue No materials were issued and no labor was added. The router was in releases status. Where can I locate this “related transaction that isn’t release as of yet.”?

I have stock in several locations in my warehouse, I want to be able to change the location from which I am pulling stock from within the sales order. Can I do this and how?

This is related to blanket sales orders.  Customer places an order for 500 widgets to be shipped out 50 pcs per month.  Our production process is optimized to make 50 widgets on each production order timed to the desired ship dates.  We can create 10 production orders and then create POs from the 10 production orders, but we get better pricing on the raw materials if we combine the POs and make one bulk purchase. Is there a good way to do this?  We have tried creating a production order for the entire 500 pieces and creating the PO from that Production order, but then we need to create the actual production orders for 50 pieces that the materials will be issued to. It get confusing because the materials are issued to production orders that are not the production order the materials were purchased for.

The customer has a Production Order and configures to Backflush Material and Labour. I discovered that when the customer uses Create Move, the system uses the Branch with WIP and Recovery Accounts. (Basically, driven by the User and Current Logged-in Branch).  Is there any way to override Branch Selection for GL Posting from the Work Centre in (BOM).Thanks for your quick pointers  

Error when trying to release production order when using parent item lot on completion selection. 

Ideally, making an MRP forecast dependent makes sales orders “chip away” at the total forecast number, right? If this is the case, let’s say this month, I have a forecast of 200 cases. I just shipped 20 cases. This should make the remaining forecast 180 cases. Why would the forecast stay at 200? I feel like I’m missing something. Thanks in advance for any help!

There are certain inventory items that we “manufacture” into kits- large quantity items that get broken down into smaller items.  However we need to be able to list a different cost for the new item, and incorporate a labor cost per item in the kit.  How can we do this?  Let me give an example of what we’re trying to do with a generic setup:Bulk Item A- cost $1/lbKit Item B- cost $2.50/lb, container for Item B $2 per kitLabor for 1 Kit $5

I am having a difficult time recording production waste from a raw material input. In a BOM I have configured, it takes 3lbs of an item for a yield of 1.95lbs. I set this up in the BOM material line item indicating that 1.95lbs are required with a scrap factor of 0.538462 so that a total of 3lbs is removed from inventory. I set up a production reason code and in the Work Center and BOM I set scrap action to Write Off. The raw material is a lot tracked item, so I issue the material and I see 3lbs removed from inventory and go into WIP. When I perform the move transaction, the cost of 3lbs is moved into inventory when only 1.95lbs should be in inventory with 1.05lbs written off. I have also tried changing the settings to quarantine and set a scrap warehouse and location (set up in the order type and stock item (but I cannot get that to work wither. This is not the produced product that is waste...it is one of the input materials so I cannot specify a scrap amount on the move transaction

We have two warehouses where we manufacture; East & West. Most of our production (>80%) occurs in the West facility. We purchase most of our items to West and will transfer to East as needed (however there are still scenarios where we purchase directly to East. We have set up re-order points in the West facility for many items that we typically hold in stock. We have encountered the following situation: Item X has the following inventory balance: East - 5250 units West - 0 units  This item has been set up with a re-order point in the West facility at 5,000. However, since the total of both warehouses is above this re-order point, we are not being triggered to purchase in MRP. Additionally, since East has been set up to receive transfers from West (not the other way around), we are not being triggered to transfer from East to West. Is this a normal scenario? How do we ensure, through MRP, that we purchase at our re-order point within West facility? Are we able to set the supply

Is there any way to Cancel the Closed Production Order. If we are using Disassembly option, Will it reverse the Labor and other components in that particular Production Order.

in one tenant/company we are not seeing forecast showing in MRP Demand. Has anyone had this happen or can suggest troubleshooting to resolve this issue? 

Can someone suggest a good process for performing rework for a production order that is already in process.For example, they decide that some additional insulation needs to be added to a part in an opeation that has already been completed.  This means that additional material and labor will need to be added and captured as rework material and labor.

what's the best way to get rid of or a process I should do to get rid of qty remaining in a production order when it's in the Completed & closed stage since we can't go back and edit it. In some of the production reports it still says qty remaining when it was scrap. If there’s a way to figure this issue out that would be great since it will help at lot in a reporting.  

When we do an inventory count, the adjustment hits 66102 - Physical Inventory Adjustments which we have specified as a COGS account. However, there are certain items (such as packaging), which, when adjusted should flow through a different account (the one specified on the stock item screen).  Is there a way to set up inventory counts that post adjustments directly to the related stock item expense account rather than the physical inventory adjustment account?  

I’m trying to add work centers.  The shift is required, but the system is not allowing the shift to be added.  There is a valid shift, but when selected, it is blanked out when I tab out of the field.

We have a process where we produce WIP stock items from various raw material stock items via production orders. We then produce packaged finished goods from the WIP items plus a few more components via production orders.  If an error were to occur, such as an improperly costed raw material found its way into the WIP item, that flows through to our sales orders on finished goods and COGS is incorrect. I have experience other ERPs where this is an issue and this is how it has been handled: Reverse sales orders to reverse GL entries to Sales/COS etc Reverse production orders to reverse impact to various produced items, whether WIP or FG Make corrections to materials Repeat steps 2 and 1 to arrive at the correct amounts.Obviously this is important for order/item margin analysis, but am I missing any unique ways of handling this in Acumatica? I could envision an inventory adjustment but that won’t reflect on the order/item level, simply on the GL/financial statement level. 

Hello,Need to send one PO to vendor along with parts for treating.However, the PO needs to be linked to multiple production orders.Can this be done in ACU?Any suggestions?Thanks,Larry
