Manufacturing

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_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&s=09For the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, only the BOM and Production Order Management will be needed since the production method is MTO. Thanks for your help.Happy New Year!ToonSI

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.

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.
