Manufacturing

1) should device hub run on our print server?2) we want to use device hub to send specific sets of production orders to specific printers. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Good day,  I have the situation where I need to move different finished goods items from a singe production order. In this scenario I am moving a main item from the production order, and some “by-products” or “co-products”. How would this be done with standard Acumatica Production Orders?

Hi  I was wondering if the new Arena PLM integration supports muli-level BoMs.  Often in an environment where a product is produced with a multi-level BoM, if a lower level BoM changes for any reason the revision of the parent level BoM should also change revision when the lower level BoM is updated. This is to reflect that the finished good produced is a different version as a result of the component part BoM having changed. Is this something the integration can mange? Thanks  Matt  

I have a prospect in the supplement manufacturing industry.  One issue that I am trying to solve for them is managing lots of ingredients or finished goods that require testing before they can be used.For ingredients the scenario is this:  A product is purchased and receipted into stock and assigned a lot number.  A sample is taken and sent to an independent laboratory for testing - the test can take up to 2 weeks to return during which time the stock cannot be used in production and is not available for scheduling. We are looking for an easy way to identify that this particular lot is still awaiting the test result whilst other lots of the same item may be available (or waiting on a test and not available until later).  Ideally I would like to have attributes for the lot, but this is not available.  I think that the best I can do right now is place the lot in a quarantine location and move it out when it has passed the test.  A similar situation occurs during m

Does anyone create delivery notes/ gate passes for good that you transfer from one factory to another or for Finished Goods that you ship out from the factory?

The BOM Summary Form has been incorrect in ALL Manufacturing Versions for the Sub-Report Extended Cost Fields, Column Alignment, Missing Sub Totals and Missing Grand Totals in the Main Report.  Has anyone seen a correct version anywhere?  

OK. I have a bit of a unique situation I am looking for the answer for.  I have a time clock that I use to generate a clock entry into a Production Order This works great. However, I have Team leads that approve their team's time. I need a way to have Joe the team lead log in and approve and only see Joe's team. Whereas Joe's supervisor John can see and approve Joe's time and all of his team's times. Setting the employee reports to on the employee records doesn't seem to cut it. The approval screen is kind of an all or nothing scenario it seems. Thoughts? 

I would like to connect with Acumatica users from any Life Science area.  Looking for you to share your experience with the product and learn some dos and don’ts.  

If a customer is not using standard cost, when a component is added to a bill of material, the cost is 0 unless one is manually entered, and after the component item is received into inventory and the cost is established, the cost on the bill of material is not updated. Users will base price estimates on the bill of material and when the costs are not current on the bill, there is no way to look at a bill of material and view the current cost of the item.  They must look at each component item and retrieve the cost, or create a bogus production order to capture current cost.This would increase usability and customer satisfaction.

We’re on 2019R1 and the Production Order Maintenance screen in the Modern UI takes SEVERAL minutes to filter the list if you use the filter field in the upper right corner of the grid. We’re currently in the process of upgrading to 2020R2, and it is STILL not usable.  I figured Acumatica would have cleaned them up to be on par with the rest of their screens given they own it now and have had plenty of time to do so.  Is this something that is a known issue, are plans in place to fix it?  We have zero issues with this functionality throughout the rest of Acumatica.

So I have added a custom Field into our ITEM list lets call it (BuyerPlanner). I can add and use this field in areas like the Stock Items list with out issue. I am looking for a way to extend this custom field into the MRP Exceptions Screen AM403000. This is just a sorting field and really just need to be an option to filter by. Any. Thoughts?

Is there a posibility to stop aut. labor/ tools/ Overhead costs bookings coming from manufacturing transactions? Maybe a flag/ setting in manufacturing preverences to control this? 

Does Acumatica have a way to launch an approval flow upon creation of a new Bill of Material?  Basically, we are looking to enact the ECC Approval Maps upon New BOM creation.   

Are there any planned webinars to demonstrate this functionality?

Does anyone know where can I download AcumaticaWMS add-on?

Are there any bundled roles for Manufacturing or do we need to create them?

Hi:I have several prospects which manufacture something quite complex (MTO), and install it over several days/weeks, and sometimes train the customer. Examples of such products are: exhibit booths, warehouse storage racks and conveyors, custom large windows and doors, custom lighting for large buildings and plants, ..It seems that the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition and the Construction Edition is the solution although I think that there is no need for retainage billing. Originally I thought that the solution for such business case was Acumatica Manufacturing edition with Project Accounting (Project Manufacturing and MTO). Am I  wrong? The Roberts Glass customer story triggered my question:https://www.acumatica.com/blog/roberts-glass-acumatica-construction/?utm

Asian suppliers observe holiday periods where their factories are shut down.  Other suppliers may have periods where their factories are closed for holiday, plant shutdown, etc.  You can associate a calendar to the underlying vendor’s business account.  If a calendar exists then use this calendar to move the  planned order promise date and action dates to working days. This could be extended to manual created purchase orders also.

Hello, I am looking for a report that can tie to the balance sheet as of the end of the month. In Sage 100 it was called Stock Status report as of end of the month.

What are Acumatica’s users are using?Inventory valuation report shows data on the day you are running the report, its impossible to run back. what should we do?

When uploading a PDF invoice into Acumatica via Google Chrome v. 86.0.4240.111 it results in blank pages showing up in the uploaded document. We are running Acumatica Cloud ERP 2020 R1 Build 20.110.0017. This issue also occurred in our previous version of Acumatica Cloud ERP, but not the previous version of Google Chrome. This issue is occurring for multiple users on the same version of Acumatica Cloud ERP and Google Chrome. However, when the same PDF files are scanned first, then, uploaded, the issue does NOT occur. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,Is there a sweetlife snapshot with manufacturing data?

We would like to see the user profile enhanced to default values for the scan move process.  Currently at a minimum it requires three scans to enter any move transaction.  At one of our customer sites they only have one operation step so having to enter this information each time is a waste of time and has made the adoption rate of the application slow.  If we could default the values for order type, operation number, and location based on the user profile that would save three steps.  If you made this a preference to use default values from the user profile then this could be deployed in a number of cases.  It would be very useful if all the possible default fields that are required by a hand held had the capabilities to default based on a user profile.
