Rejecting Engineering Change Requests

I am trying to figure out how to get the status of an Engineering Change Request to be Rejected. When I reject a request it just puts it back into the On Hold status and allows the user to submit the change again. I’d like to figure out how to Reject it.

How to get "Mark for Production" to automatically select

I want the “Mark for Production” checkbox to be selected automatically for certain components. I thought that this was achieved via this screen on the item, but it doesn’t seem to work as I’m expecting it to. Why doesn’t that field auto check/un-check based on the item settings?

Replenishment Stock based on PO & SO Calculations

Hi, We are looking at the Replenishment reporting. We need to plan for future orders, our lead times can sometimes take longer than 3 months to get a stock in. What we need is to be able to plan future requirements.Example: We have 1 item in stock and 2 on order and there are 3 SO in the system 2 as back order but not showing up on the Replenishment section. So, in effect by the time, we receive the PO we are already out of stock. So, we would like to be able to review everything in one place to plan future orders to ensure that we have SOH. Our Items are high value, so we don’t hold too many items at the same time.Is there another area of the system that we could extract this information without going through individual Stock items (Inventory Summary isn’t sufficient for our needs and SOH inquiry) Thank you in advance.

Active Production Orders and needing to make a Lot Class Change

I’m making a lot class change for a bunch of items and last area I need the clean up to allow it seems to be partially completed production orders. Any suggestions on the best way to handle these so I can get them in a state I can change the lot class of the finished good? Or are my 2 options complete or cancel if they still can be? If so any tips on prep work to recreate the same status and links to POs.

Does Estimate Lead Time (Days) populate anywhere when using Create Inventory Items

Does Estimate Lead Time (Days) actually translate to Lead Time in the Stock Item? It appears its just a text field but I have not gotten it to populate anywhere when using Create Inventory Items. The definition does not actually indicate anything other than a user enterable field.

Can MRP link SO to Production Orders using Inventory Planning Display?

We want all of our MTO production orders to be linked the sales order. I also want our Production Orders for Subassemblies to be linked back to the top level production order. Inventory Planning Display of course see’s the demand but created production orders with no link. Since these items are strictly made to order, this is essential for business.Is there anyway to setup Acumatica to have this occur when a Stock Item is MTO? Or do we need to stick to using Create Purchase Order screen (AM510000)? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

MRP - Order to Max Quantity?

I have done some significant testing of MRP. I am unable to find a way to honor a Max Qty of an item. MRP is only suggesting orders for safety stock up to the Reorder Point. I have two clients that would really like to be able to populate both a Reorder Point (min qty) and a Max Qty for their items. Once they drop below Reorder Point, they would like a suggested order up to the Max Qty. Otherwise, as soon as you issue or sell one unit, you are back below Reorder Point and MRP suggests another purchase of 1 unit. This will lead to many additional purchase or manufacturing cycles. Inventory Replenishment handles Reorder Point (min) and Max Qty as expected.Is there anyway for MRP to honor a Max Quantity on its suggestions? How are others handling this?Thank you,Greg

Cannot change cost on standard cost item when it has an inventory QTY

Would like to change the standard cost on a stock item, but we get the following error if there is a quantity in inventory. I believe there is no away around this other than to adjust out inventory, make the change, then adjust it back in. “IN Error: There is non zero Quantity on Hand for this item. You can only change Cost when the Qty on Hand is equal to zero” Is this correct?

Machine Scheduling spreads one production order to all machines in workcenter

We are implementing Acumatica. We have about 100 machines grouped into 5 work centers. A typical production order is about 300 pieces and typically runs 2-4 days. The issue we are having it that as we test scheduling it is spreading the work from one production order to all 25 machines in the work center. It is there a way to keep a single production order confined to a single machine without turning the all 100 machines into individual workcenters?

Configure MRP to Pick-up Demand from Service Contract > Schedule > Service Order Including MFG Items

Hi Acumatica MFG People, We have service contracts that include a replenish plan for stock items which are manufactured.I create schedules, one with a yearly schedule to replace some equipment, which we manufacture.I initiate the action, "Generate from service contracts", on my service contract schedule and get a service order which includes my item replenishment and some inspection work.My question to you all is, "I am looking to see if MRP picks up the demand of this replenishment (these are MFG stocked items).I look at the Inventory Allocatin Details report for this part and I do see the demand from this service order.I would assume with the right set-ups, execution of MRP will create production order to account for this demand, right?I probably need to take a different direction than a service contract and service order because I have no way to account for the shipping of the inventory to the customer as part of the appointment, right?Thanks,Patrick

Sales Person to user set up

I have a couple of questions regarding sales persons that are linked to employees which are linked to a user and how to use this set up conveniently in Acumatica. Basically I want the ability for the logged in user to only have access to the orders and customers which they are the default sales person for. This could be in reports, dashboards, GI screens, etc. @ME does not work as a value in the default sales person field.How can I set up a filter on the sales order screen to view all sales orders with my logged in user as the sales person. I want this filter to automatically default to show the logged in users customers and sales orders without having to set the filter explicitly to that sales person. I’d like the system to detect the salesperson based on the logged in user and reflect this in filters for sales orders. I’ve tried setting Default Sales Person = @ME but that doesn’t work.My Goal is to provide a filter to my sales persons so they can see all of the orders where they are

Is it possible to have Production and Purchase Orders default to different locations?

My team is beginning to implement production and purchase orders into the company, however, we have discovered that both are defaulting to the same location: receiving. This is fine for the purchase orders, however, the production orders need to go to shop done, but are defaulting to receiving despite not belonging there. Is there a solution to fix this?

MRP/Inventory Planning Display should carry demand type and transaction number over to create supply order

MRP/Inventory Planning Display shows the demand type and related transaction, whether a sales order, forecast, safety stock, production order, etc. for the recommended supply order to be created. However, once the supply order is created, the demand type and related transaction do not follow with the related supply order. I have dealt with several clients who want this logic in MRP especially for created production orders (which sales order and customer?) and for create purchase orders (which production order or sales order?) The create purchase orders and create production orders are not great solutions, because they would like to have everything work through MRP and without the auto-allocations of the other screens.

Serial Numbers on Move Transaction

I need some help with managing serial numbers in Production Orders. I've generated serial numbers for a Production Order (see Line Details in screenshot 1). As I perform moves or labor transactions, I want to move these serial numbers to the next operation. However, I can't seem to select these serial numbers during a move transaction.For example, we might have three serial numbers for a job, but only two of them move on to the next operation while one remains for further processing.Can anyone guide me on how to track and move these serial numbers, assigned at the Production Order level, through different operations? These serial numbers are for the finished goods, not the materials.Thank you in advance for your help!

Advance Planning and Scheduling Subassemblies

In the situation above, I have manually changed the Constraint date for the Parent Production Order. Is there a process I can run that would have the system automatically change the Subassemblies based on this change? Our environment is heavily made to order and I am struggling to understand how to properly use APS. I already have been made aware that overlapping operations is not possible, but I would expect the system to at least adjust constraints based on linked order changes….Just showing here they are in fact linked as parent/child orders….

Promise Date on POs created through Inventory Planning Display

When the Action Date for a Purchased Item is in the past (meaning Promise Date is less than today plus lead time), creating a Purchase Order from the Inventory Planning Display results in a PO with a line Promise Date equal to today plus the Item’s lead time. Is there a way to use the date from the requirement rather than pushing it out to full lead time? This doesn’t communicate to the Vendor that we would like the item sooner than their normal lead time if possible.

SO & Linked Production Order Issue?

I was recently told that if you have a Sales Order that has a linked Production Order the user is unable to ship separately and has to ship the full amount of that link or else Acumatica has issues processing it. For example:Sales Order Line is for 5 → Production order is for 5 → 3 complete early and we want to ship them to the customer → 2 complete a couple of days later and we need to create another shipmentSince there is a “hard link” on the Sales order we are unable to create shipment 1 for 3 items and shipment 2 for 2 items without causing issues in Acumatica. Is this correct? If so how have other customers got around this?

Manufacturing - Pre-entered serial numbers not available on MOVE

I am testing serial number behavior for Production Orders linked to Sales Order line.If I pre-populate desired user-enterable Serial numbers on the Line Details tab of Production Order Maintenance, I am expecting that those exact serial numbers would be the choices when I do the final move transaction to put the finished goods back into inventory. On my Move transaction, I expect to see those same 5 serial numbers that I said I was producing to be available in my final move, but they are not available: Am I missing a configuration somewhere perhaps? I do not understand the intent of pre-populating the serial numbers on Production Order Maintenance if they are not available for selection during the Move transaction. Thank you.
