Is anyone currently using ProNest with Data Sync integrated into Acumatica? If so, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience:How well does the integration work? What data are you exchanging between the systems? Did you use a standard connector, an Acumatica partner, or build the integration yourselves? How difficult was the implementation? Are there any limitations or issues you wish you had known about before starting?We're trying to understand what a typical implementation looks like and what level of effort to expect before moving forward.Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hello,We’ve been live in Acumatica for just over a month now and are running into some questions surrounding the MTO process. In short, inventory has been tied to a sales order as we expect in the MTO process. However, in some cases we’d like to remove the inventory allocation.If we go to the sales order and uncheck the Mark for Production box, that doesn’t seem to be removing the inventory allocated to the sales order. I understand the inventory was probably reserved during the sales order create process.Is there another process we aren’t aware of to remove the inventory allocation link to an existing sales order?

This is happening on a client and I cannot find the reason why the generated cost transaction has a different branch to the labour transaction, so it is causing incorrect GL entries.The data is all entered on the correct branch, so any ideas why the system generated cost transaction would have another branch to the source?

Hello all,I have a scenario where the end user procures fabric rolls in tonnes. The usual width of the roll is 10 meters however sometimes it comes to be around 9 meters or 11 meters. So even if they’re procuring in tonnes, how can we handle the variance in the dimension?Since the fabric is to be used into production, how to account for the same. 

Hello all,How can I create Production order based on MRP. So its like, based on SO, MRP will be generated and then the Production Order will be created. How to do so with MRP?Thanks.

If Use Fixed Manufacturing Time on Inventory Planning Preferences is not checked, we expect MRP to use manufacturing time from the BOM.We are having trouble getting it to take Queue Time into account. DA-L0 and DA-L1 both have a queue time of 4 days.Created an SO for DA-L0 on 3/15. Here is the MRP Result, with the planned action dates for the production orders being 3/15.Shouldn’t the queue time of 4 days force the action date back 4 days?If I create the RO from the SO, it does back up the start date. 

The purpose of the Production Scheduling Whitepaper is to increase the reader’s knowledge of the scheduling processes available within Acumatica. It is strongly recommended to first complete the M100, M200 and M210 manufacturing education courses and be familiar with Acumatica processes and general work center and work calendar configurations. Upon completion of reading this document readers should understand:  Available scheduling methods within Acumatica   How Acumatica determines start and end dates for each scheduling method  What inputs are considered for each scheduling method The following concepts are NOT addressed in detail in this document as they are well covered in either Acumatica’s online help or the M100, M200, or M210 manufacturing education courses.  How to configure work centers   How to configure tools   How to configure machines   For Finite Scheduling, when to run APS Maintenance The following topics were excluded in the first version of this whitepaper but may be

One of our warehouse locations cannot be used in any production orders. The system says its inactive, and has zero quantity. This is despite the fact that it clearly on in the warehouse tab, has quantity in it, and production consumption is enabled. The parts in this location can even be used in Sales Orders without issue. I’m not seeing any reason why this location wouldn’t be working while everything else is. What could be causing this issue? 

Up until recently our company has solely used production orders for our manufacturing process. We have found that we can use the Kit Assembly process and still have the lot tracking capabilities that we desire. The one thing that we loose out of the box is the ability to track labor associated with the kit assembly and have that labor cost be allocated to the item being created. Has anyone come up with a process for this? 

Hello all,I want to know if tyats a possibility to create inter-unit production processes have 2 sites in Acumatica? Can anyone guide me thru this.Thanks

Hello all,How can we have 2 different valuation methods for an item?So if I am procuring one material and my if I am producing that material, how it holds these 2 separate valuations?And what will be the COGS based on my valuation?Thanks.

Hi All, I am struggling with an import for the configurator maintenance screen. The last topics were years ago and those xml files error when i try them.  Am I right in my understanding that you need to have an import per feature for the options. So for each feature and that features options you would need to have a separate import or is this possible on one import. Any help or examples would be appreciated

Hi all,I’m on 2025R1, using Production Order Maintenance, When I release materials for a Production Order linked to project 9795(Track by Project Quantity and Cost), Material Wizard 2 opens but shows no components, even though the Critical Materials screen shows enough on hand quantity for the production order. Release Material works fine for another project (9299-001- Track by Location). I verified the BOM and warehouse setup. Any ideas why this happens or what setting I might be missing? 

We have an scenario, where a customer they want to consider Project related Stock on MRP demand planning.For example, consider an item with a demand of 100 units and an available stock of 50 units, but this stock is tied to a project layer. The customer expects that any stock on a project layer should be excluded from standard MRP calculations.Additionally, there is another project-specific demand of 70 units for the same item. Since there are already 50 units available on the project layer, the system should only suggest purchasing the remaining 20 units.We understand that this functionality is currently not supported, but is there any plan to incorporate such logic in a future release?

I found that when importing Production Order Labor in the modern UI in 25R2, the values 0130 is interpreted as minutes and the time is converted to 02:10. This also happens any where when time spent is entered like time cards, activities, etc. For example, and tab or enter you get.I have not tested the bill of material imports but I assume the same behavior.  

Hi SirWe would like to know what mean of production variance.As we do a disassembly transaction and notice that system auto generate “ production variance” May  i know what is this for? Please refer to the below.If based on below journal , does it mean the production variance 21.44 is reduce the inventory value as the double entry is credit account code14720 inventory.  

Wanted to share this with the community!  I think the visual helps a person understand Queue, Finish, and Move Times more quickly.

We build-to-order a configurable subassembly (that is linked to its parent) that we would like to pre-assign a serial # to.  When the shop floor employee does the final Move on the configurable subassembly, they will assign a serial # (system should auto-populate the pre-assigned serial # if qty = 1, but that’s a different subject).At this point, the system should know which serialized configurable subassembly goes with the parent production order (via the references tab of the production order), and I wish I could backflush the configurable subassembly into the parent production order (by the way, the reason I have to make the serial class issue method “User Enterable” is because one configurable subassembly in inventory might cost $1,000 more than another configurable subassembly with the same Inventory ID).  But when I attempt to backflush, it says I cannot because the issue method is “User Enterable”.If I type in the serial # that was assigned for the Move (when completing the conf

I am trying to create a production order from the production order screen and am getting the following error message:AM Error: The following error occurred when the system tried to copy the BOM: Unable to cast object of type 'PX.Data.PXSegmentedState' to type 'System.String'.I have checked the BOM and cannot find anything wrong with it. Has anyone ever seen this message or know what it’s looking for?   

Material and move completed from Operation 10 to operation 20, not all required claimedHi, we are experiencing issue where the required material quantity is not being claimed in the operation. Currently, the material and moves are done manually from the office. What are some of the reasons/ways to troubleshoot this? Thank you, 

Is there a way for the system to automatically complete all the move transactions for a series of linked production orders?Our situation is as follows:I create a production order for Item A, it requires Items B+C and creates production orders for them. In turn Items B+C require several other item production orders. The end result can be a sizable tree of linked production orders. We want to be able to say “we have finished Item A” and have it complete all the sub-assemblies in proper sequence without us having to manually do move transactions on all the sub-assemblies.

Hello, (Edit: Production Scrapping in 25R2)We are currently in the process of upgrade from 23R2 to 25R2. In the process, of upgrade we encountered an issue with scrapping on production orders. A case/Bug has been opened with Acumatica. However, we do not have an established timeline for resolution at this time.  Problem:When performing a scrap on a production operation the Production Order Detail will record the scrap on the operation in which it was performed. However, the scrapped qty will not update in the first operations QTY remaining and QTY to Produce Columns. All upstream operations, from before the scrap action will remain in a “Completed” status. In our production environment, if a scrap occurs, we must start over from Operation ID 0010.This means, we have completely lost visibility to a production order in the upstream work centers that is starting over in the production process due to scrap. This also means, we lose our Material transactions and labor cost associated to the

How are you getting variable outside service costs back to your production orders?I am struggling to come up with a usable process for outside service/process management. We use several outside processes and depending on service, product mix, quantity, etc. they have different costs. We may use a quote from the vendor or base our cost on price lists. Acumatica does not seem equipped to deal with this scenario.Please feel free to skip over my specific attempts, and share how you have managed to get varied outside process costs onto your production orders.What I’m looking for, and the problems I am running into:To enter planned cost and quantity needed onto a production order operation subcontract material Can’t set quantity needed and batch size when Subcontract Source is set to Purchase and Move - even when my outside service is traded in a different unit than my production is producing. E.g. I am making 100 pieces and need to outside process 150 pounds - the weight of 100 pieces. Can

We are currently on version 2025 R2.  We are having an issue where Inventory is released when a Sales order is Invoiced.  However, we need that to happen when Shipment is confirmed.  We have verified that the check box “Automatically Update IN Documents” in Sales Order Preferences is Checked.  We have also looked at the workflow in the customization of the sales order screen but haven’t gotten anything within there to work.  Has anyone had this issue before?

We have 2 phantom subassemblies after the same operation that are created by the configurator. We are trying to control the order that the added operations are in, but can’t figure out how the system is ordering them. We tried reversing the sort order of the features, reversing the actual feature line numbers, changing the alphabetic order of the feature labels, even reversing the alphabetic order of the work centers. Does anyone know how the system determines the order of these added phantom subassemblies?
