Has anyone out there attempted to allow users to view 3D CAD Files (.step) attached to a BOM or Production Order from within their browser?  I assume we would have to use a cloud based file management system that integrates with Acumatica.Only other option I see for Acumatica-initiated viewing is to download the files to the local machine, then use a free 3D CAD viewer software, like eDrawings (Solidworks).Obviously we can use a server directory, but the user would need to search the directory for the part number based on the Inventory ID from the Production Order.

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?

Is there a way to find the quantity of a stock item issued to a production order? As it stands, once the raw material is issued to the job it no longer exists in inventory, however we always over-issue material and need to account for the over-issue when ordering more raw material.  We may have 15-20 production orders with material issued at the same time so going one by one would be inefficient.  I would assume there is some sort of WIP location that stores this data but I cant find it.  

Ive been getting questions from our engineer to order team about utilizing Planning Production Orders to drive demand, instead of utilizing BOMs. However, I haven't been able to find any documented process of “next steps” after initially driving demand. Is there much of a documented process to replacing or changing to Regular production orders once ready to produce? It seems from initial research, that any use of PL Production Order Types is simply a manual management of use. Any help would be appreciated! 

We’re currently preparing for an MRP implementation in Acumatica, and one of the key risks we’re anticipating is how the system will handle split Sales Orders tied to the same item.Due to capital budget constraints, it’s common in our environment for a single project/item to be split across multiple Sales Orders—sometimes up to 6–8 based on customer capital funding limits (typically around $5,000 per order). From an operational standpoint, these do not represent separate demand signals; they reflect a single underlying requirement that is fragmented for financial reasons.Our concern is how MRP will interpret this structure:Will each split SO be treated as independent demand, potentially inflating supply signals? What is the best way to maintain a unified supply strategy (single PO or Production Order) while demand is distributed across multiple SOs? Are there recommended configurations, linking mechanisms, or planning practices to prevent duplicate or excessive planned orders in this s

We are currently on 24R1, upgrading to 26R1 soon.  Is there a way to create a clock entry for multiple employees at once?

Hi all,we are currently using the Acumatica mobile application on scanners, but it is limited to certain screens.Is it possible to add additional screens, such as Move and Materials from Production Orders in the Manufacturing module, to the mobile application for scanner use?I wanted to check whether this can be done through configuration, mobile app setup, or features settings, or if it would require a customization.  

Hi everyone,We were having issue with the MRP,We have two separate projects, and each project has one Production order. Both production orders use the same BOM and the same material item. Both Projects are configured with inventory tracking = Track by Project quantity and cost.Scenario details: Projects ID Production Order Nbr Start Date BOM ID Purchase Order PROJ-VK-45 ORDER41326 5/11/26 BOM1 008815 JB-007 ORDER2 4/27/26 BOM1    Test steps:Created both production orders under two different projects. Since ORDER2 had the earlier start date, I placed ORDER2 on hold for testing purposes. Ran Regenerate Inventory Planning. Based on the demand from ORDER41326, the system created the supply suggestion, and we created a Purchase Order 008815 Then I removed ORDER2 from hold Ran MRP again Reviewed Inventory Planning Results by Item.Issue observed: After the second MRP run, the s

Hi all,I have a question regarding the BOM Compare screen in Multi- Level BOM.when I compare two revisions of the same Bill of Materials, the compare does not explode down to the lower material level to show the detailed component changes. Because of this, I’m not able to clearly identify the exact changes at the lower level unless I manually go and perform the BOM compare on the Lower-Level BOM itself.Is this the intended behavior of the screen, or is there any setting, configuration, or process that needs to be enabled so that it can explode fully and show the lower-level material changes directly?  

Issue description If a production order was created from the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form for a non-lot/serial tracked item or a lot/serial tracked item with the When Used assignment method, there was a mismatch between the Qty. to Produce in the Summary area and the Quantity column on the Line Details tab on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form (see the following screenshot). On the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form, the system displays incorrect allocation for the production order that was created (as the following screenshot shows).  In this scenario, when the quantity in the Quantity column on the Line Details tab is less than the quantity shown in the Qty to Produce box in the Summary area, the demand reoccurs on the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form, and this results in incorrect MRP Planning. Root cause This is a known issue for the following builds of Acumatica ERP:2025 R1 Service Pack 1 (Build 25.101.0153 ) and later 2024 R2 Update

Hi,Can the attributes from inventory item screen be added as a field into a customization? I am looking to add a few attributes from inventory items to the Sales Orders detail tab so when entering an line item for an order it will lookup the field from the attributes. I cannot see the attributes I have created to add them. Any thoughts? 

When I link an open Purchase Order to a Production Order using the PO Link button, the PO and Line do not show on the outside process tab. Does that tab only show the PO when you create the PO from the Production Order? 

Hi,Looking for input on how to correct a product configuration and resulting production order that is in progress or completed.Scenario: A production order is created and partially completed, when it is decided that there needs to be a small change to the configuration. We manufacture portable storage buildings (pineviewbuildings.com) and in our case, this might be something as simple as changing the paint color due to a customer request or inventory needs changing midstream. The more common scenario is that a production employee made a mistake in the construction and now the configuration needs to be corrected to match the physical unit. Currently, there is no option modify the product configuration in any way after the production order has been released. The closest we can come is creating a new production order that consumes the finished good from the first production order, create the correct configuration result and then manually modify the materials. This, as you can imagine is v

We are adding a new role (raw material handler) in our manufacturing department. Among other duties,  this individual will be tasked with pulling the raw material needed for upcoming production orders and moving that material to a production staging area.    In order to streamline this process we are looking for a report that they can use to direct them to the material they need to pull.  My initial thought is that the report needs to contain the following information:Raw Material Inventory ID Qty of material on hand (broken down by Lot/SN & Inventory Location) Production Order driving demand Demand Qty on Production order Work Center on Bill of Material operation that is driving demand. In a ideal world the report would be sorted by inventory ID with the other information flowing from there,  but I am thinking we really need to drive this from the Production orders with released status, and then flow down to the inventory ID, qty, stock location etc.  Does anyone know if a repo

We are on 25R2 modern UI and using the New Release Process for Manufacturing.  I have seen two glitches so far, and wondered if anyone else has seen these in their instance:A Move that completes an operation no longer records Actual Start Date and Actual End Date in the AMProdOper (Production Details, routing section) table.  We have critical reports that rely on these dates, and they are broken right now due to this issue. The final Move (production receipt) for a linked Production Order to SO Line no longer allocates the inventory to the SO Line.  You have to delete the SO Line and re-add it to invoice the sales order.  The issue this creates for us is that the production order loses the link to the Sales Order, also breaking critical reports that help us report on stock product versus build-to-order product.I don’t see a way to undo the New Release Process, but I would like to.

Hello all,I have been trying to create child Prod Orders, but unfortunately, when I click on Generate Orders for Subassemblies option under Prod Order Maintenance → More Menu, it runs & then says “The Operation has been complted”, but it doesnt generate any child orders. Also, I have defined default BOMs for my subassembly parts & also have defined Production Default Source as Manufacturing.How can I resolve this?

Is there a way in the MFG BOM to have the Component flagged to only pull from Lot number?In other ERP systems ( like GP) , there is a single lot feature. Goal is have MRP understand that our component can only be consumed from one lot.  

We use serial tracked products that sometimes get consumed into other internal orders but sometimes get sold as is to the customer. We are having a hard time finding a way to get a list of serial tracked items that have neither been consumed into other orders nor sold to the customer. Any guidance of how to best pull together this information into a GI that employees can check against? I’m thinking probably some combination of ARTran and AMMTran info

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.
