Manufacturing

In the Acumatica Manufacturing module, we occasionally need to run two production orders in parallel on the same work center (for example, when one order requires an earlier completion date or due to other scheduling priorities).What is the recommended approach in Acumatica to support this scenario?Is adjusting the start dates and splitting the crew the only option, or is there a way within the system (e.g., capacity settings, overlapping operations, or configuration of the work center) to allow multiple production orders to run concurrently on the same work center?

We overproduce on our first operation sometimes. I want to be able to overproduce at that time. However, I do not want to allow for people to be to go crazy or not have the rest of the order qty’s controls in place that make each operation qty’s match.  Example set system to overproduce So, on operation 10 qty to produce was 100They were able to produce 150, and they complete 150 Then on operation 20 because system is set to allow over production, even though there are only 150 to make they complete 180.  I was trying to come up with the best solution so I could overproduce but keep the integrity of the locked system in place. Maybe some kind of buyoff and order adjustment? Operator triggers an over production buyoff, and some corrects the order qty? I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if something already exists.  

In our manufacturing process the logistics team wraps our cabinets, which are pieces of our displays. The wrapped cabinets go into crates which are grouped and shipped as an entire process for assembly in a site.  Hitting the Available-to-Promise is critical to our customer, and for this reason we would like the production schedule to factor the time consumed to pack and crate.  Has anyone model logistics as a work center?  How do you factor logistics capacity down time when the is not available to pack because they are receiving material? 

This is what I’ve been able to build but I want to make section that gives me a final number of how many I can build. Not have it show me what the lowest number in stock that I have. I want to see a section that says I can only build 6. 

Our process is Engineering creates BOM, Production Planning creates the Production Order under the Project, and the BOM is linked to the Production Order to generate material demand. Purchasing then procures material based on that demand.Our challenge is with ECO driven BOM revisions. If the Production order is still in Planning status, we can update the order with the new BOM revision and regenerate the demand successfully. However, after the Production Order is Released and material has been Issued, the status moves to In-Process, and we are no longer able to update the Production Order with the latest BOM revision.In this situation, the only option we currently see is to reverse the material issues, delete the existing Production Order, recreate a new Production order with the updated BOM revision, and then proceed again. This is operationally heavy and inefficient.I would like to know whether Acumatica provides any standard functionality, recommended process, or best practice for h

When performing a mass multi‑level cost roll, Acumatica doesn't recalculate bill levels for manufactured items from other branches or update their costs in the receiving branch’s assembly. It simply uses the existing standard cost.As a workaround, the mass cost roll process must be run twice. The first run does not pull the most recent standard cost from the sending branch, resulting in an inaccurate assembly cost in the receiving branch. The second run then captures the correct sending‑branch cost and updates the assembly cost appropriately.Can the cost roll process be corrected instead of repeating the mass cost roll process?

We are about a year into using ACM and are still refining our reporting specifically around product availability.We take at once and future orders(a year or more sometimes) and our planning department is trying to get a shortage report based on a inputted time fence. We allocate inventory to orders 60 days out. We are trying to write a report to see where were are short of inventory in a 90 day window and a 120 day window. Short is defined as a)total on hand inventory, less hard orders b)total on hand inventory less hard order and forecasts. I was going to create a GI based on item time fence to net out the appropriate elements from PX.Objects.AM.AMRPPlan. This seems cumbersome, how are other doing this?  

Hello! Is there any way to have the Record Notes / Pop-Up Notes show up when we enter a material line directly into the Production Order Details? Currently we have a bunch of items that are Kanban and we do not want anyone to use the Mark for PO functionality to set purchase demand without checking stock first. Initially I put pop-up notes on the specific Kanban Stock Items and found that it didn’t pop-up when entered into the Prod. Ord. Details screen. Thought I’d try and see if it would copy as an internal note instead and came to the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

The Create Production Orders screen is sometimes including sales order lines that already have a linked production order.  This seems to occur when the first production order is on an In Process status and has been partially completed.  The new production order is for the remaining quantity.This is a big concern in a Make to Order scenario where Create Production Orders is automated.  It can lead to over production of costly custom ordered product.  We have opened a support case and this has been documented as a bug.  In order to prioritize this for development, it would be helpful to identify if others are having this same issue.There is a similar known issue which was documented here and is considered resolved.  We are seeing this issue in 2025 R1.Thanks in advance!

Based on testing in 25R2, using Generate Orders for Subassembly pegs the Constraint Date to the Parent Order Start Date (not the individual Operation Start Dates) for the Subassembly orders that are generated.The Due Date is smart enough to look at the Operation Start Date for when the Painted Assembly is actually needed, but Due Date has no impact in the Generate Orders for Subassembly action.We’d like the Constraint Dates for the child orders to be pegged to the OPERATION start date, not the ORDER start date.  Is there a configuration we’re missing?  We do not use APS.Other areas of the system seem to look at OPERATION start date to determine Constraint Dates/Promise Dates/Demand Dates.  I know on the Order Type you can force the MRP system to “Use Order Start Date for MRP”, which pegs all Constraint dates to the ORDER start date, but there is no setting for generating production orders that says “Use Order Start Date [for pegging demand dates]”.  This behavior seems inconsistent wit

Hello Community, I am trying to create a BOM with a phantom subassembly child on one of my operations. I have costs set on the materials of the phantom BOM. The problem is the cost does not roll into an estimate when copying the parent BOM onto the “Estimates” form. It loads the operation with the phantom item but with 0 cost. I do have the cost set to 0 on the parent BOM I am loading on the estimate, but the materials of the phantom BOM are manually set and should calculate up to 6000. Is there a way of getting the phantom material cost to “Explode” for the estimate before the creation of the production order? Phantom BOM:  Parent BOM: Estimation Operation: Thanks,Adam

What is the trick to get a default value on this screen for the Warehouse? It is a customized screen vs a GI, but am not entirely sure. Does it need to be coded in, or can it be added in a simpler manner? Thanks   

We’re trying to use planning BOMs, but don’t understand how Acumatica intends for us to handle them. Does anyone know of a good resource that explains the intended functionality? What we are envisioning is:Engineering creates a BOM that is somehow designated as “Planning” This BOM would not be able to be used to create a production order This BOM would work for MRP planning At some point, engineering converts the planning BOM to a “real” BOM Then manufacturing can create a production order and proceed as normal. Is the above at all similar to the process Acumatica designed?

We have a few blends of product that need to sit in the tank overnight to finish processing.  Our shift is M-TH 6:00am - 4:30pm.  The tank (machine) shows the same schedule, but we have machine time on the BOM as 16 hours.  The APS module is scheduling it over 2 - 3 days depending on the start time.  Our employees do not need to be present for the processing to take place once ingredients are placed in the tank.  If I change the machine shift to 24/7, it still will not calculate appropriately.  If I change the work center to have the 24/7 shift, it schedules around the clock.  I have tried to use queue time and finish time as well, but they are not yielding appropriate results either.  Essentially, I need 1-2 hours of shift time and the remaining is processing time overnight, then the tank can be emptied the following morning, cleaned and reused.  Is it possible to replicate this scenario on a BOM & in the APS module?

Hi Community,I have two configuration- related questions regarding Production Order behavior1.Default Status when creating a New Production Order: when creating a new Production Order, it automatically goes to Planned Status. Is there a way to make it default to Hold status first?2. In the Production Order Maintenance – Reference tab- when using an Inventory ID that already has a BOM assigned, should the system automatically pull the BOM ID and Revision? Is there any way both BOM ID and BOM Revision can be left blank by default? I’m trying to understand if this is standard system behavior or controlled by configuration.

We were eagerly awaiting 2025R1 to be able to cancel/correct purchase receipts without having to go through AP to get the process completed.  We were hoping for a simple reversal feature that could make things easier when a mistake was made.I’m just now learning that if we want to use the purchase receipt cancel/correct functionality, the Manufacturing or Service Management functionality cannot be enabled in the Enable/Disable Features. Does anyone know the reason why this feature is not available if you use the Manufacturing or Service Management functions?

Hello All,We are implementing Acumatica and are debating whether to use AWS or SharePoint to store document.  In our case, we would like to give access to a Contract Manufacturer only to specific subset of design documents.  Has anyone implemented solution capable of controlled access, upload nottifications, and revision control?

Hi All,Acumatica's Production Cycle for a manufactured product consists of 2 major steps: 1) produce volume first and then 2) subsequently, pack the volume into the required SKU.In such a scenario, is there a way to ensure that there is full availability of all materials required for producing a specific volume of a product, prior to confirming a Production Order? If yes, how and where can this be implemented/checked? In other words, a Production Order should not be allowed to proceed further (any subsequent steps) if there is either no or not enough material as required to produce a specific volume of the manufactured product.The same applies to the 2nd part above i.e. to again ensure that all packaging material required is available in full quantity during a request for Packaging Materials. Since this is a separate TR request (Inter Warehouse Transfer), how to ensure that this TR request is tied to the Production Order from step 1 above? The reason being, in our case we use some comm

Hello Experts, I am unbale to figure out how to view the total number of production order with ageing category. I Tried creating GI but still facing problem how to group .Please let me know where am i missing .So my output result should look like:- 

I have a GI that shows the Qty On Hand for each item by Warehouse. I want to get the total quantity on open Production orders at that warehouse for that item.  What tables/DACs do I need to join to my GI to pull in those numbers? 

Hello experts, I was looking to create a Generic Inquiry for Aging category of production order , I found this Generic inquiry for reference can anyone suggest me is it fine for the reference but still i am confused is it possible can we  show the aging category in this GI Report ? 

Looking for some clarification & guidance. We are testing the Inventory Planning in Acumatica and one of the things I have noticed is the Min Order Qty on the Inventory Planning Tab of a Stock Item does not seem to utilized during the Planning Regeneration.In the example below, Stock Item 68000 has Safety Stock = 5, Min Order Qty = 10. I currently have Qty On Hand = 0.I would think that when Regeneration occurs, it would look at demand (currently 0), then check Safety Stock, determine in this case we need to place an order to fulfill the safety stock demand, and then use Min Order Qty if value exists. However, it doesn’t seem to use it at all. Only workaround I have found, is to set Min Order Qty on the Vendor Tab for the default Vendor and that does seem to work. If it is intended to be Vendor Dependent, then it seems odd this setting is there.Reading the Form Reference, I can see it get’s populated from the Item Class, but still not sure why the Inventory Planning doesn’t use it.
