Manufacturing

Hello,I am unsure of the purpose of Stock Item kits in Acumatica.I created a stock item and marked it as kit.Then I defined the kit in kit specifications.  It is just 2 purchased parts in the kit.I put if a sales order for the kit’s stock item ID and MRP did show it in the MRP display.How do I generate something for the shop to build the kit from MRP?It seems like I have to see the demand in MRP display, then open Kit Assembly and process this.It seems like just having a BOM with 1 “assembly” operation and the component materials is a better way to go as I can generate the production order directly from MRP and when completed the completed kit goes into stock.Am I missing some basic understanding of Kits in Acumatica?Thanks!

I am working on getting MRP up and running for my company. We have been getting by until we could get our BOMs updated with acumatica and in line with how it would pull inventory. Then, we did an entire inventory count to balance back out all of the mistakes that had been made over the months since our “go-live” date. That being said, we have several POs that have been created due to word of mouth need instead of through MRP. Is there a way to go back and link these POs to lines on MRP to remove the items from the list so we do not create any more POs for unnecessary items? If not, how should this be handled to get these items off of MRP?TIA

how can i do a dashbord from inventory stock?

Currently the Clock entry requires a time record of at least 1 min is there a way to set this to seconds vs min? 

in a manufacturing environment:Hello, we need to be able to import BOM as the cost base into either estimate or quote or any other window, then mark up labor cost and material cost and any other markup for sales quote purpose. i.e. BOM1, with 2 ops center A & B, and raw materials 8 & 9once we import bom1, markup op center A by 25% and B by 30%, etc.. Any direction and instruction highly appreciated .. thank youZoey

Hello,We have a production order with the status of “completed” which we need to close.When we attempt to close, it fails and tells us there is unreleased transactions.When I attempt to release the offending labor transaction, it fails and say it can’t process because the production order is “completed”.Seems like a catch 22 here.I can’t close the production order because of the unreleased labor.I can’t release the labor because the production order is completed.There is no way to change the status of the production order to allow corrections.Thanks for any guidance!

Hello,we plan to cover the proces, that we can take data from SO line automatically into linked Product Configuration!Did someone work on this process? Does someone know if this is an standard process in Acumatica?(Optional: take data direct vie REST- API into Product Configuration→ Is this posible? Any experience?:-)) Thanks a lot in advance! BRTim

Has anyone successful made an import scenario to update existing production orders? I have a working scenario to update existing BOMs but the same approach doesn’t appear to work on Production Order Details.I’ve even tried to strip the import down to the most basic steps and it still fails. Is there something special that needs to be done in order to import updates to an existing Production Order? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is the pared down import scenario - just access a production order This is the error I get. 

Here is the environment:sales order (SO1) is created, auto generate production ticket AM001 ( BOM is set up to backflush labor and materials) shipping entry to ship SO1how can we auto complete AM001 upon step 2 shipping entry to ship out SO1?Many thanksZoey

Hi,In Unit of Measure SCreen am trying to increase the ‘FromUnit’ and ‘ToUnit’ field length from nvarchar(6) to nvarchar(15) and am able to change from backend but am trying customize that field DAC Level but its throwing an error  #region FromUnit          [PXMergeAttributes(Method = MergeMethod.Append)]        [PXDBString(15,IsUnicode =true,IsFixed =true)]        public string FromUnit { get; set; }        #endregion        protected virtual void INUnit_FromUnit_CacheAttached(PXCache Sender)        {        }        #region ToUnit         [PXMergeAttributes(Method = MergeMethod.Append)]        [PXDBString(15, IsUnicode = true, IsFixed = true)]        public string ToUnit { get; set; }        #endregion                protected virtual void INUnit_ToUnit_CacheAttached(PXCache Sender)        {        }

hello, since there is no delivery schedule, is there a shortcut to copy and paste a line of record to next… and all is left to do is changing the delivery date or the shiping QTY?i.e below, how do i copy and paste line 1 to line 2 and 3 rather than manually input them?Thank youZoey 

The Description field looks to be in default paragraph mode. Is there any limitation to the amount of information that can be added to this field? We have parts that require extensive technical descriptions.Do we have the ability to attach a document to this description?

Hi,Is there any quick process functionality so that we can bypass the manual move or material transaction. 

Is there a way to combine a Repair Order in Production with Equipment Management, so that equipment management is updated with changes made in the repair order.  Can the items of a BOM be added as a component to an item for equipment management?

We have a purchased part with a safety stock.  An existing PO will cover requirements, but it’s delivery date is far out and the vendor cannot expedite.  We will fall below the safety stock. MRP display is telling us to place a new PO, which we do not need to do.MRP detail inquiry shows this.MRP exceptions screen does show we need to expedite the PO, but since we cannot, this part will continue to show up on MRP display telling us to place another PO. Is this the general process?Do not create new POs from MRP display until you look at the detail inquiry to ensure an existing PO does not already exist?Is there any way to drop the part from MRP display other than changing the date on the PO to say it will arrive earlier (which it will not)?Thanks! 

Hello, can someone point me the right direction to create a leg of another bom within a bom?Thank youZoey  

When I have an open RMA order for stock items - MRP states we will be receiving the items as supply that will satisfy demand. This is not appropriate since the materials must pass through quality inspection and disposition. How can I remove RMA receipt material from being viewed as a supply signal in MRP?

we have been doing our due diligent care testing acumatica manufacturing, it seems this module does not meet our environment need, below are missing:splitting labor ticket clock entry does not provide a field where laborer could input bad QTY or scrap QTYi am curious if anyone using Acumatica manufacturing and how they solve the problem? -Zoey

I have customer who regularly gets orders from the government with quantities between 50,000 - 150,000.These are usually scheduled over a period of months.They would like to be able to create a manufacturing order for the total monthly quantity and then release smaller (unique) batches to the shop floor and be able to track those batches through clock in/out entries by shop floor personnel.If they created individual manufacturing orders for each of the batches, there would be in excess of 100 manufacturing orders for each monthly delivery and the maintenance would be prohibitive.Thoughts?Thanks for your help!Donna

I’m creating a production Order through the processing screen where it doesn’t have a SyncTimeTag table used. when i create any transaction manually from the screen its saves a record with the note id in  SyncTimeTag table. So, while creating a production order an error throws like Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'NoteID', table 'DB.dbo.SyncTimeTag'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.The statement has been terminated.

I have a customer who costs EVERYTHING used to manufacture an item (i.e. pallets, bags, box labels, etc.). But a quantity of 1 is used per manufacturing order, not per piece during an operation.Is there a way to add those items to the BOM without having to have it be a fraction of the item per item produced?Please help :)

Hi there,we would like to use backflushing in multilebel boms. Automated reporting back of work and material works fine for one-level-BOMs. However, if we use multilevel BOMS (e.g. a BOM with a subassembly) then we always need to report work back for all operations. This can be very annoying since we sometimes have 10 operations in one BOM and also several operations in subassemblies. We also marked the subassembly BOMS as phantoms. And we also marked backflushing everywhere. However, it does not work automatically. Is there any possibility to automate this? Thank you very much.Best Wishes  maracuja 

say if i want to review run a report to show production ticket A and B from the period of Nov  2021 labor hours details. it seems like the native report do not have a field of production ticket number..the exact field for filtering.. do we have to customize the report?thank youZoey
