Manufacturing

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

We are trying to set up the Mobile App for all users to utilize (specifically for Scanning and item lookup). Within our UAT tenant, I have access to all the needed modules within the app, however when I switch over to our main tenant I no longer have these screens. From as far as we can tell, my security settings our the same between the two tenants. Any suggestions on what needs to be adjusted? I’ve attached screenshots of my visibility on both UAT and live. I have double checked that there are no hidden modules in the top left.  

When a stock item is redesigned and the original item is still usable, I need a feature to use up and replace the original item. In SAP this is called discontinuation data. In Acumatica, I have no process or control over using up and replacing items. Follow-Up Material: Number of the material that the system uses in materials planning to replace the material to be discontinued once its warehouse stock is depleted. In the material master record and also in the bill of material (BOM), you can define a follow-up material for a material to be discontinued. The follow-up material defined in the BOM has a higher priority than that in the material master record. https://blogs.sap.com/2014/03/12/concept-of-discontinuation-data-material-master-and-bom/
