Hello all, in my local instance (Acumatica 2021 R2 Build 9.009.0001.1 [21.209.0034]) I want to generate a prod-order. The checkbox "Mark for Production" is set. However, when executing "Create Prod. Orders" the error appears: "Error: An error occurred during processing of the field InventoryID: Object reference not set to an instance of an object...". What could be the reason for this?Thanks in advanceAnastasia

After creating a sales order and entering attribute details from the configurator demand is created in MRP.  Next, from the MRP display screen, we generate the Production orders.  The configuration attributes are not carrying over to the production order.  How can we get the configurator details to be maintained?    

Has anyone ran into the error seen below before? I am looking for a way to correct the error or just delete the move to start fresh with a new move. Any information about this problem would be very helpful. TIA! 

We recently found a variance between the LOT numbers  that our material transactions were set to consume vs the LOT number our issue transaction were consuming. The quantity of each product deducted was the same, but the LOT it was using was different between the two transactions.We escalated this issue to Acumatica and they came back and told us that we needed to switch our base UOM to the smallest unit of measure that we use. Currently our base unit is in LBS and we have a UOM conversion into grams and into kilograms.Moving all of our inventory from being stocked in LBS to being stocked in grams is going to be a major change to our processes and take a lot of time to fix a problem that was working fine for us for over 6 months. Does anyone have any ideas in how to fix this issue with changing the UOM’s?

Dear Concern,request you to please suggest the process for inventory out from warehouse and in after job workInventory Out for job work and in against job work: for example we wish to out inventory like  component, Semi finish goods and Raw material from warehouse  to vendor place for job work activities and after job work same will be return back as Semi finish goods or finish goods . how to track inventory out and in process thru acumatica ERP.  

Hi MFG community. I just ran into issue with 2022 R1 build 22.102.0054. My client has configurator. When you create  a production order and add the preconfigured key to the reference page, the order saves correctly.If on the other hand, your create the production order, click save, then add the preconfigured key to the references tab, Acumatica copies in the default Bill of materials associated with the configured item. It does not copy the preconfigured key build.Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Chuck

I have customers that are process manufacturers that make materials that cannot be disassembled.  The materials are produced and reported through a Move transaction.  The Move transaction is designed to allow for you to scrap completed items on the Production Order but not to Reject and Rework completed items.Has anyone else developed a customization or process that they have found to work well for Rejecting a finished good, segregating the materials in a Material Review location, and then either scrapping, reworking, or returning to regular stock?

We are experiencing a major problem this morning where we are prevented from adding any stock items to production orders.  Please see the screen shot below.  We cannot enter any items into any production orders under any op id.  We get the error message indicated.  Anyone know what corrective action needs to be taken to stop this?  It has never happened to us before. 

All we have this issue and plan on up grading however I need to better understand how to utilize this GI. Has anyone utilized this in the past and can you give me some pointers?   

So I am attempting to create a Generic Inquiry that would show a rollup of our Production Order. I want to see Materials and Labor issued to the “Job”. We have many order that can be nested 11+ levels deep. So I want to see the roll up to the “top Level” item. Has any one else accomplished this ? Would love to hear some others insight. 

I need a refresher...if you have Past Due PO’s, Work Orders, Sales Orders, etc., what does MRP do with the items on those orders. Does it skip over them by default or are they included?My purchasing team is thinking the item in the attached pics should have a Safety Stock requirement in the list but I’m thinking there are enough open PO’s that the system doesn’t see a need for a Safety Stock order yet.Hopefully someone in the community can offer some insight!

I want to allow a user to post Inventory Issues or Inventory Receipts up to $5,000.If the total entry is over $5,000, I want the user to be able to save the entry but not release it. I want any entries over the set threshold to be routed somewhere else for approval/release.I don’t have any experience with approvals in Acumatica, so if this is doable, where do I start?

Does Acumatica use the base UOM, Unit of measure for safety stock, reorder point, min order qty, max order qty and lot size? In the stock item screen, should any of these take into account he purchasing unit of measure?Even if set on the VENDOR tab of stock items? I believe EVERYTHING should be in the base unit of measure, I just want to confirm. 

Hello,The scheduler could schedule a production order late if either materials are unavailable or if needed capacity does not exist.Is there any audit GI or report available so you can check why a production order was not scheduled when it was needed?Thanks,Larry

I have a GI that seems to keep defaulting to a value when i have no default value set. The report works however its just annoying to have to change the value every time We really dont use the “stocked” class for much.  This is what I want This is what I get every time ..  Here are my ParamsAnd Conditions As you can see I don’t store anything as a “default” value.

I want to set up a notification that for a group of users that MRP successfully completed. What is the best way? by best I  mean easiest.

When doing a labor transaction in the “Employee ID” field can I create or have a labor group instead of recording time for individual employees ? I

We have parts that we need to inspect on receipt before they can be sold.  We have an inventory location that we receive to that does not allow sales (issues).  We would like to create a production order to inspect these items but cannot issue them from the receipt location to a production order. Any ideas on a better approach to handle incoming inspections, including scheduling and prioritizing the inspections?

Are there any configuration options to choose BOM revision as part of the Create Production Orders processing screen? Customer has many items that have more than 1 valid BOM revision and they would like to be able to choose/populate which BOM revision the resulting production order should be created with. Not being able to assign the BOM revision makes the Create Production Orders batch processing less valuable, as they will still need to go in and update BOM Revision on each production order generated. Thank you,Greg

Does anyone have any good resources for scheduling in an environment with sub assemblies?  Do you use Acumatica data? Visual boards? Would you share your screens or process?  or visual boards?  Is there any videos or resources you could point me to learn the best practice?  do you have a dedicated scheduler?  Any comments on large vs small jobs?  Trying to get better at this.  Thanks!   

I am getting the following error when trying to add new materials to a production order. This occurs when trying to put the order on hold. An unhandled exception has occurred in the function 'MoveNext'. Please see the trace log for more details.  Any thoughts?

Is there away to update the BOM material items expiration date?   We just are testing some BOMs in our pilot configurations. and realized that some items have expired?  As far as I can tell you would need to make a new revision?  Does the expiration date effect using the BOM in Production.I am new to Manufacturing.  I figured you should be able to update the existing. Thank you in advance for your assistance

All I have a labor batch that Will release, create the GLBatch and Create the Cost Batch however the cost batch will not process. and the labor batch ends with an error Another Process has added the ‘AMProdEvent’ record. - The labor batch is still in “balanced” status, the Cost Transaction is still in “UNReleased” Status. My assumption is I could probably release the cost transaction. Which would finish the process. But would that close the Labor batch?  

Hello. I was wondering if there is a place for me to learn how the dates between the sales order/ purchase order/ production order work. Also, what is the basic process for a situation of if one of the dates on the purchase order moves, can every corresponding production or sales order date move with it? Ie. I have a purchase order open for an inventory item. It currently meets the requirements date wise to complete a production order for a sales order item on time. If the vendor can not send the item on time and the purchase order is updated to reflect this, is there an automatic way for the production order and the sales order to move accordingly? Thanks!

I have a the completed quantities captured via the Labor function linked to a production order and the “completed quantity” at a work center is incorrectly captured and released. How can I reverse an incorrectly captured Labor transaction (or Move) before I move to the next stage or before I release the Production Order?
