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?

Hi,Have some questions on the “LINK PROD ORDER” button on the sales order, or the “LINK SALES ORDER” button on the production order. Is it possible to fill out a resulting pop up like this via the API? If not, how can I fill out the fields under “REFERENCES>SO REFERENCES” (SO Order Type, So Order Nbr, SO Line Nbr) on the Production Order when they are greyed out? Is there a way to un-grey these? If not, how can i fill out the fields under the line item on the Sales Order (Prod. Order Type and Production Nbr) when they are greyed out? Any help is much appreciated!!!Popup from LINK SALES ORDER button on Production Order

MRP has worked without issue Now every time it is run we are getting this error. Any ideas??  

I am trying to export a full part list with quantities for a specific BOM to excel that we can easily compare with our SolidWorks BOM to ensure they match on a new product line. Anyone have a helpful idea to do so without exporting each OP ID and phantom BOM individually and then combining into one excel spreadsheet?

Hello,If MRP display shows multiple lines for the same purchased stock item, I would like to be able to create one PO line to order what I need.If I select multiple lines for the same stock item, and click “Purchase” in MRP display, it creates a PO with multiple lines for the same stock item, just with the different quantities.  I would like one line with the entire amount. Similarly, if it is a MFG item, I would like one production order created when I hit the “Manufacture” button in MRP display. I can’t find any preference that sets this behavour.Thanks!

I facing problem when recording Labor - Quarantine for inventory item which using manual serial number. Anyone ever facing this problem and have solution to overcome it. Appreciate your advise.  

Hi All,Currently we are in the process in creating landed cost codes to start recording landed costs in the system. Would like to understand in detail on how this affects the valuation of the inventory, how its connected to the BOM, cost roll etc…Would really appreciate if anyone could share links, materials so I can read more on this topic.Thanks and Regards,Nazly

Hello,I am trying to understand the general process flow for scheduling in Acumatica.  Assuming all calendars and setup have occurred, what is the process for maintaining the schedule.Please let me know where the following falls down.  This is the proposed daily process for maintaining the schedule.APS Maintenance Process - “The process will fill the empty schedule days for each work centers for the next 180 days and adjust the schedule time blocks.” Rough Cut Planning - Run with action set to “Schedule” and “Process All” Running steps 1 and 2 above will rebuild and maintain your schedule so it is up to date and could be scheduled to run each night to keep it current.

I need help figuring out the missing piece on a Generic Inquiry.I want my users to be able to pull up a list of items needed for Planned, Released and In Process Work Orders. I have an inquiry started but it’s listing some items multiple times and it shouldn’t.The goal is for them to be able to see how much of Item A they need for the next 3 days or so and how much of Item B they need and so forth.I’m attaching screenshots with the linking currently on the inquiry. I think I have a join wrong or maybe there is a link missing…I would appreciate any input or if there is another way to get this info, please share. 

is there a way to reprint an ASN label after it’s already been completed. I know I can reprint if it’s not completed but not when it’s totally finished.

Hi is there an easier way to generate production tickets for the many levels of sub assemblies when using MRP for replenishing stock items?  Seems like a pain to run MRP Generation to create the parent, then keep re-running it over and over to generate all the children.  Any suggestions? thank you

We have many Inventory IDs (finished products) being manufactured at several site. So we are use to have several BOM IDs for the same Inventory ID. We are integrating our PLM (Arena) with Acumatica. In Arena we have the EBOM. Once the EBOM is synchronized into Acumatica, we are planning to customize each BOM ID, by using the Material “Phantom” option. We don’t know if this is the most efficient way of doing it and if this is even possible. It seems a lot of thing in Acumatica are locked and cannot be changed.Has anyone faced a similar situation?
