Good afternoon all,Usually, when negative Moves are created, corresponding negative Material Issues are correctly created for backflushed Stock Items. Otherwise, the WIP will be overinflated when Material is re-backflushed.However, this does not appear to happen for backflushed Non-Stock items.Is there a way to enable backflushed Non-Stock items to generate negative Material issues similar to Stock Items?Repeatedly creating -1, +1, -1, +1 quantity moves at the same operation with one backflushed Stock Item (cost 573.2) and one backflushed Non-Stock Item (cost 3,700).Each -1 / +1 move is correctly reversing and reissuing the Stock Item cost, but not the Non-Stock cost, causing additional 3,700 cost to be entered into WIP each time. 

On Scan Material screen, the system requires the user to scan:Order Type - Optional Prod Order Number Operation WH  - Optional Location Inventory IDOnce the Inventory ID is scanned, the Scan Material screen resets to “scan the order type” prompt. This means if a user needs to issue multiple stock items to the same operation, they need to go through 3 scans again before they arrive to the scan inventory ID prompt. Is there a better way to bulk scan multiple stock items IDs for the given operation?

Acumatica’s Engineering Change Module does not tie together multiple BOM changes into one Engineering Change Order.  Has anyone out there created a customization that does this?  We frequently have Engineering Change Requests that impact multiple BOMs, and we want to roll out those changes all at once.Also wondered if anyone has developed reports that could pull audit history into these ECOs and show all of the changes for all the BOMs included in the ECO.

My client manufactures stock items with different container sizes. They have stock items listed as shown below:WG36-BulkWG36-264GAWG36-317GAThere are times they need to do a repack from Bulk to 264GA and need to allocate labor and overhead costs. If we use the BOM for the stock items, it includes the component parts needed to produce the item. In this case, we will not need the standard components as we will issue WG36-Bulk as the component. Is there an easier way than deleting all the components and adding this one item with the labor and overhead added? Somone suggested an Inventory Kit Assembly but I really want to tie this to a production order from a sales order. Looking forward to the feedback,Thanks, Jim

It looks like I should be able to do this with AMClockItem and AMClockTrans but has anyone done this? We want to have a status screen for production that shows all production orders that currently have an employee clocked in and show the operation(s) that are clocked in as well as the elapsed time it has been clocked in.

Trying to add lot serial cost data into a GI, and would like to use the following table (believe it is called a projection table) - INLotSerialCostStatus.Can’t seem to find this table in the DB from Tables section of the GI (found it through the DAC) and believe it is a ‘projection table’ or more of a view).  Is there a way to access this data within the GIs themselves?

Hi everyone, One of our clients upgraded within our implementation process to 2022R2.They will be a heavy user of the Manufacturing suite.We imported some sample Bill of Materials for Training purposes and realized that the Order on the Visual BOM follows some other logic than the Engineering Workbench. The Engineering Workbench shows the 1:1 replica of the BOM in terms of Operations and Materials.The Visual BOM seems to take the BOM ID from the nested BOM into consideration. It mixes the order of Materials up completely. Is anybody aware of the Logic behind it?The User is trained to consider the order of Materials when creating the BOM. It is easy to change through the Engineering Workbench, but once again the Visual BOM seems to have a different Ordering Sequence for that.Did anybody experience similar things before or knows why the two screens use different Ordering sequences? Thank you!

We are trying to find a report that breaks out the Labor and Overhead from our unit cost in the lower level of our BOMs. This is something we had in our previous system and was used for multiple entries and analysis in Finance. Here is Acumatica’s version. There is columns for Material, Labor and Overhead. Is there a way to show these on the lower levels of the BOMs.  Here is the report from our old system where is breaks out the labor and overhead for lower level assemblies. Thank you 

Currently the functionality in Production Order Details screen will allow you to put an in process production order on hold and then edit the materials required for operation steps which are completed. There is no indication that you should not do this, other than knowing that you can’t make changes that will actually be utilized in those completed steps. The system lets you make the change and save it (for instance, adding another material to the list). You can then remove the hold and continue processing the production order, however the change you made does not get utilized. You can see that the quantity required is in that operation, but the quantity used is 0.Some manufacturers, particularly those who make custom product, may find themselves in the position of making changes during the assembly process between the time the order is released and when it is completed.While it is understood that only personnel properly trained should be making changes to production orders, currently

I’m trying to set up a BOM with two subcontract operations for different vendors. I’ve created separate non-stock subcon items with the relevant vendor and added the two operations to the BOM. Each operation has the non-stock item on the material line. I’ve added two Work Centres with Outside Process checked.Material type=Subcon, Subcon Source=PurchasingMy problem is that when i go to the Outside processing tab, I can select the Vendor for Operation 1, but this also defines the same Vendor for Operation 2. If I amend Operation 2, it then changes Operation 1.Not sure if I’ve set up incorrectly or if there’s some restriction on selecting multiple subcontract vendors on a BOM. If the latter is the case I could try using a phantom sub-assembly.

We have a manufacturing prospect that produces thermoplastic products using the roto-molding process. This allows one or multiple products to be indexed and manufactured on the same machine. I need help figuring out a way to set up work centers to optimize machine efficiency and production schedule. In a nutshell, the molding machine is on a carousel with 3 indexing arms - one for unloading FG/loading materials, one for heating/molding, and one for cooling. For large-size products, each arm can only handle one unit of one SKU. For medium-size products, each arm can handle 2 units (i.e., a 2 x 1 unit configuration) of the same or 2 different SKUs. For small-size products, each arm can handle up to 10 units (i.e., 2 x 5 units) of the same or 2 different SKUs. Using a dumbbell analogy, I can load 4 x 5lb plates on one side and 2 x 10lb plates on the other. In short, we can have 1 but potentially up to 6 production orders running on the same machine. For a given BOM, each of the 3 operatio

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.

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.
