Manufacturing

If a customer is not using standard cost, when a component is added to a bill of material, the cost is 0 unless one is manually entered, and after the component item is received into inventory and the cost is established, the cost on the bill of material is not updated. Users will base price estimates on the bill of material and when the costs are not current on the bill, there is no way to look at a bill of material and view the current cost of the item.  They must look at each component item and retrieve the cost, or create a bogus production order to capture current cost.This would increase usability and customer satisfaction.

We’re on 2019R1 and the Production Order Maintenance screen in the Modern UI takes SEVERAL minutes to filter the list if you use the filter field in the upper right corner of the grid. We’re currently in the process of upgrading to 2020R2, and it is STILL not usable.  I figured Acumatica would have cleaned them up to be on par with the rest of their screens given they own it now and have had plenty of time to do so.  Is this something that is a known issue, are plans in place to fix it?  We have zero issues with this functionality throughout the rest of Acumatica.

So I have added a custom Field into our ITEM list lets call it (BuyerPlanner). I can add and use this field in areas like the Stock Items list with out issue. I am looking for a way to extend this custom field into the MRP Exceptions Screen AM403000. This is just a sorting field and really just need to be an option to filter by. Any. Thoughts?

Is there a posibility to stop aut. labor/ tools/ Overhead costs bookings coming from manufacturing transactions? Maybe a flag/ setting in manufacturing preverences to control this? 

Does Acumatica have a way to launch an approval flow upon creation of a new Bill of Material?  Basically, we are looking to enact the ECC Approval Maps upon New BOM creation.   

Are there any planned webinars to demonstrate this functionality?

Does anyone know where can I download AcumaticaWMS add-on?

Are there any bundled roles for Manufacturing or do we need to create them?

Hi:I have several prospects which manufacture something quite complex (MTO), and install it over several days/weeks, and sometimes train the customer. Examples of such products are: exhibit booths, warehouse storage racks and conveyors, custom large windows and doors, custom lighting for large buildings and plants, ..It seems that the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition and the Construction Edition is the solution although I think that there is no need for retainage billing. Originally I thought that the solution for such business case was Acumatica Manufacturing edition with Project Accounting (Project Manufacturing and MTO). Am I  wrong? The Roberts Glass customer story triggered my question:https://www.acumatica.com/blog/roberts-glass-acumatica-construction/?utm

Asian suppliers observe holiday periods where their factories are shut down.  Other suppliers may have periods where their factories are closed for holiday, plant shutdown, etc.  You can associate a calendar to the underlying vendor’s business account.  If a calendar exists then use this calendar to move the  planned order promise date and action dates to working days. This could be extended to manual created purchase orders also.

Hello, I am looking for a report that can tie to the balance sheet as of the end of the month. In Sage 100 it was called Stock Status report as of end of the month.

What are Acumatica’s users are using?Inventory valuation report shows data on the day you are running the report, its impossible to run back. what should we do?

When uploading a PDF invoice into Acumatica via Google Chrome v. 86.0.4240.111 it results in blank pages showing up in the uploaded document. We are running Acumatica Cloud ERP 2020 R1 Build 20.110.0017. This issue also occurred in our previous version of Acumatica Cloud ERP, but not the previous version of Google Chrome. This issue is occurring for multiple users on the same version of Acumatica Cloud ERP and Google Chrome. However, when the same PDF files are scanned first, then, uploaded, the issue does NOT occur. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,Is there a sweetlife snapshot with manufacturing data?

We would like to see the user profile enhanced to default values for the scan move process.  Currently at a minimum it requires three scans to enter any move transaction.  At one of our customer sites they only have one operation step so having to enter this information each time is a waste of time and has made the adoption rate of the application slow.  If we could default the values for order type, operation number, and location based on the user profile that would save three steps.  If you made this a preference to use default values from the user profile then this could be deployed in a number of cases.  It would be very useful if all the possible default fields that are required by a hand held had the capabilities to default based on a user profile.
