Manufacturing

I had a production order that called for qty 1 of a part PL-2-1016-H. At the end of the production run, .75 of this part was returned to me to put back into my stock room. I updated the qty required on the production order to .25 (since that’s what was used in production). I have attempted to perform a negative material release on the production order to send the part back to the stock room. I’ve been able to successfully return .75 of the part back in the stock room in Acumatica, however, when I released the transaction, it did not remove the cost from the production order. In fact, it added the cost associated with .75 of the part to the production order. I’ve attached a screenshot below. Any ideas on how to get the cost removed from the production order? 

How to display the requirement of the same material on the same line  ? is there a parameter to activate?the BOM contains two lines of the same material1st line = the quantity should be multiplied by the scrap coefficient2nd line = a fixed quantity to be launched at each OF I have attached a document to my question.

Implementing MRP for a Manufacturing Customer.The customer has 2 Branches.Branch 1 takes the customer order and raises the PO to the 2nd Branch (Inter Branch Trading)Branch 2 manufactures the product and sell it to Branch 1.I have configured the MRP settings.When I run the MRP, it suggests buying the Item from Branch 2 (as expected)When i run the MRP again, the system suggests the same item to be bought rather than manufactured.Item Replenishment Setting.i want MRP to suggest a Production order not a Purchase.any pointer? 

We are currently implementing a Manufacturing Company with Splitting Operations.We used, the Production Order Type with Function Disassemble. In setting up the Normal Scrap Value of item to Split (Disassemble), where in Acumatica Manufacturing Module > Bill of Material do I see it up?

How can this example deviation be handled in the MRP system were cost and inventory tracking is temporary and variant? Each material sheet as called out on the released drawing, has a base quantity 1 each. The material tolerance is unique to each supplier requirement. These pre-cut, raw materials, will share the same unique identifier per sheet for costing and routing in inventory.  Inventory ID Description Type Item Class Posting Class Tax Category Default Warehouse Base Unit Default Price Item Status Replenishment 161600-01 STEEL, SHEET COLD ROLLED, CRCQ DDS, 0.8MMX710X620 ASTM A963, DEEP DRAW Component Part ST BLANKS STOCK TAXEXEMPT 2800 EA 0.0000 Active Purchase 161600-02 STEEL, SHEET COLD ROLLED, CRCQ DDS, 0.8MMX725X800 ASTM A963, DEEP DRAW Component Part ST SHEETS STOCK TAXEXEMPT 2800 EA 0.0000 Active Purchase 161600-03 STEEL, SHEET .030” X 38.60” X 19.70” ASTM A1008 (CRS DEEP DRAW STEEL) Component Part ST SHEET

the error happens when we try and change the warehouse we want the item to receipt in to, once the production order is completed. here is the trace   2/6/2023 9:33:41 AM Error:Error: An error occurred during processing of the field SupplyPlanID value 446591 Error: SupplyPlanID '446591' cannot be found in the system.PX.Data.PXSetPropertyException: Error: [SupplyPlanID] '446591' cannot be found in the system.   at PX.Data.PXSelectorAttribute.throwNoItem(String[] restricted, Boolean external, Object value)   at PX.Data.PXSelectorAttribute.Verify(PXCache sender, PXFieldVerifyingEventArgs e, Object& item)   at PX.Data.PXSelectorAttribute.FieldVerifying(PXCache sender, PXFieldVerifyingEventArgs e)   at PX.Data.PXCache.OnFieldVerifying(String name, Object row, Object& newValue, Boolean externalCall)   at PX.Data.PXCache`1.FillWithValues(TNode item, TNode copy, TNode newitem)   at PX.Data.PXCache`1.FillWithValues(TNode item, TNode copy, TNode newitem)   at PX.Data.PXCache`1.Update(Obje

Here is my issue:BOM is configured correctly and all components are in stock Creating a prod order in the “prod order maint” for the quantitiesOnce the order is released, click the “...” and release the materials for the orderThis usually creates the materials batch transaction, but it doesn’t create a batch or even display any of the components to be allocated to the Production Orders. I replicated the same issue for the same item with a much larger qty. Moving the wizards to the workspace via site map, i can see the production order in the Material Wizard 1 , but when selecting the order, it does the same thing once pushed to Material Wizard 2

i Split Date and time but its shows wrong time =Right('0'+CStr(Hour([AMClockTran.StartTime])),2)+':'+Right('0'+CStr(Minute([AMClockTran.StartTime])),2)

When generating production order from sales order, the production order is created, but the production number does not show up on the Sales Orders details section. It's showing <NEW>. This happens on all production orders generated from sales orders. How do I fix this?Thanks!

We sell oil by the litre however we transfer to our warehouses by the bottle (5 litres/bottle).  How do we set replenishment up so that it will transfer in 5 litre lots?  

We have a product order that calls for Material Subassembly A.  Subassembly A calls for Component Part B.  We created the product order and also created linked child order for Subassembly A.  MRP has a demand line for Component Part B coming from Subassembly A AND from the product order (MRP must have created this demand item by blowing through the BOM).  MRP is not recognizing that Component Part B is already demanded on the child order, so now we’re doubling up demand for Component Part B.

We’re at the beginning stages of implementation as a manufacturing company. It’s being suggested that we set the Inventory I.D. for stock items, when applicable, to the original manufacturer part number instead of using our own internal part number (as the primary index). We will be creating our own part numbers for all inventory items regardless of if there’s a MPN. It has been our expectation from the outset that we’d set our internal number for the Inventory I.D. This seems to make the most sense to us, however we’re being told “the norm” is to use MPN’s.Is this the way others have set their system up? Can anyone help explain the rationale for why this is the norm and should be done?Thanks!

Hi All, I am currently working on a Business Event that creates a Transfer of Production Material when the Production Order is released. (basically imitating a Staging process that is currently not supported very well). The Business Event is not firing with my current Setup.Only for with Once for all Records which then doesn’t accommodate the Material Details I need for the Transfer.Business Event:  Generic Inquiry it is based on:  I am not quite sure why it is not firing but any ideas and help would be appreciated!The same Setup worked for me for creating automated Transfer based on a Released Purchase Receipt.

Hi All,I am looking for some guidance on timing for specific BOM items and other data to have it all feed into MRP appropriately to generate a production schedule. If anyone has experience with this and wants to give input on where to put different data points in or where to pull a schedule from, I am more than happy to have conversations about the process and best practices with using Acumatica. I am in the beginning of setting up the process and want to make sure this happens correctly the first time (or as close as I can get to correctly). Thanks!

Has anyone been able to create an inquiry that will allow you to see your expected quantity on hand by allocation date by WO? I’m essentially wanting to build a critical material but have it look at the entire demand rather than just that WO.

Hi All, Our client is currently looking for a digital Version of a Pick/Staging List.Basically, they stage Items once the Production Job is planned, yet some items have not arrived at the Warehouse yet.They would need a virtual mechanism to mark an Item as Staged/kitted for a Production Order and track which items are still missing. I would think they are not the only ones requesting a process for this.Any experiences or ideas out here on how to accomplish this?(Preferably without heavy Customization, but if needed we can explore that) Thank you in advance!

Hi, We are new to Acumatica and operate a Cow Hide processing plant. During the production process there is leftover flesh that accumulates in our warehouse.  We typically send the excess to a nearby plant, however, that plant is not accepting the material.  This byproduct is left over "trimmings"  from the production process and there will not be a PO to a vendor because it is a waste product of the hides we purchased from vendor(s). I created a Non Stock item, that requires a shipment. The issue is in the GL Accounts section.  My best guess is that I should leave the PO Accrual Account empty or connected to the expense account of the warehouse.  Please let me know if there is a actual  solution.  

We are new to Acumatica and I am trying to get my head around whether certain items should be classified as stock or non-stock. What in my mind are stock items:The main manufacturing area of the business involves manufacturing mechanical / electronic products - usually from a series of subassemblies, each subassembly having it’s own BOM. The components are stored in a stock room in bins. They will then be sold and leave the system when a sales order is shipped. What I’m not sure about:Another area of the business runs courses to train people in virtual production. For the purposes of running the courses, some specialist equipment is purchased (e.g. cameras, tripods, batteries, switchers, recorders etc). We want to know/track what equipment we have, (and most of these items would be purchased via a PO which goes through an approval process), but the items are used in house to deliver the hands on courses - rather then getting sold directly to customers/sitting in a warehouse. Similarly,

We are wanting to use Acumatica’s ROP capability for our purchasing group.  They are wanting to use EOQ function, so every time we need to order from our vendor it will suggest the EOQ quantity to order.  I have watched some youtube videos and I believe I have the settings in stock items set correctly but still lumping the entire qty on 1 PO instead of multiple.  Is there a way in Acumatica do this? Example - My EOQ is 4032 but my PO is 22,727.  If we want 6 PO’s with the amount to be 4032 each?

Our client currently treats all Subassemblies as one Production Order, yet going forward they want to have more visibility and scheduling capabilities for each Subprocess and Assembly.So we run into the challenge of Data Conversion for open Production Orders right now & on how to convert one Parent Job to multiple Subassemblies in a clean way. Basically, Product X contains Subassembly A, B, C and D. Potentially Subassembly A consists of Subassembly E and F.This is currently treated as one Make-to-Order Production order.Going forward they want to have multiple Jobs for A,B,C,D,E and F that roll up into the final Assembly Job of Product X. (Product X and all Subassemblies have Bill of Materials behind them). Has anyone encountered a similar case within the implementation?We have some ideas with their Pros and Cons but want to see what is already proven or if other ideas are out there.  

My production team has requested a daily production report/inquiry where they can compare production cost and sales price.Is there a way to link a Production Order cost and Sales Price?Some but not all of our Productions Orders are linked to a sales order, so I wasn’t sure if this was doable. 

Hi Everyone,  From what I’ve seen MRP can do it should be able to take a sales order or forecast of a finished good, create a PL type production order when regenerating MRP so that the component demand of that finished good shows up in MRP display.  I can not seem to get the system to do this. I’ve only been able to get MRP display to show component demand after creating production orders manually through MRP Display for the finished goods, then the components show up on the display.  I have default BOMs set to the finished goods stock item profile and the replenishment source is set to manufacture. This is from the MRP Acumatica sheet. This makes me think the regen process should create the planning orders for your demand which would then show component level demand so that you can purchase for production orders that will happen far in the future. Then every time you regen MRP it should wipe out all PL order types and recreate new ones according to the current demand/supply. Does this

Hello:We updated to Acumatica 2022 R2, and before i can create a WO without problem.Now The system shows me next message error: AM Error: The following error occurred when the system tried to copy the BOM: Error: An error occurred during processing of the field Location value MTYP2C     Error: Location 'MTYP2C    ' cannot be found in the system. BEST REGARDS

Is anybody aware of any way to calculate Overtime automatically? Having multiple Shifts and Calendars on the Work Center indicating this, does not work at all.On the Clock Entry the User needs to specify a Shift rather than the System identifying this Shift for the User based on the Calendar and current Time. From my findings, the User needs to Clock out at 5pm for example and clock in right after to the OT Shift. This is unusable when the system doesn’t detect this.There seems to be too much manual effort involved in getting Overtime costs right onto the Production order and also flowing towards Time Cards. It will all be presented as Regular time. Any ideas or solutions?
