Manufacturing

Hello! I’ve made a GI (attached) that I think is really neat, and is helping my team find anomalies in raw material usage.Context:We’re a process manufacturing company that produces some regulated liquid products. Because of this, traceability on raw materials is key.Our company requires reporting on the yield percentage of raw material lots we use in production, and the percentage of what we produced was sold. We only use one Warehouse and Branch, but have multiple locations to manage Quality Control holds and Quarantine. We use the Lot and Serial Tracking feature. We had an issue where users couldn’t confirm how a lot was zero’d out when inventory was completed. Sometimes users consumed exactly the amount of stock items that we had received. But other times our inventory count was off because vendors over/under shipped an item and we wouldn’t know exactly how much of a liquid was in a container until it was empty. If a lot had zer

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 a

Hi there,Which Role do I need to grant a user so that they can use the Product Configurator in a Sales Order to configure an item? When they click the Configure button to launch Configuration Entry, they get this “Error: You have insufficient rights to access the object (ConfigurationEntry).” Thank you!Jon 

On our dashboard, we have data that shows production labour vs planned labour and a variance number - however, the number comes out as an absolute number. To solve this, i was wondering if anyone has created a colour coding for a column for those that are over planned and those that are under planned - on the dashboard table.?  

Hi,Does anybody have created a GI to extract subjected details?Thanks, Prasad

We have a demand shown in the Inventory Planning display through the forecast, with an action and promise date of 11/10/2025. I created the purchase order today, but it’s being generated with the current date as the promise date. However, the customer expects the promise date from the Inventory Planning display (11/10/2025) to be reflected in the purchase order.The demands are generated based on future forecasts, and the customer expects the promise date to match the forecast date accordingly.

For some reason the videos for the T2xx series arent showing up for me in acumatica open university. Are they showing up for anyone else?

If I set up a substitution item for a stock item, will inventory planning take that information into account? I’m trying to figure out how much seed to order, but we are discontinuing one variety for a different variety, and expect to sell the same amount of seed. We have a forecast established but ideally I would want the new seed to show up on the inventory planning for purchasing purposes. 

I am testing serial number behavior for Production Orders linked to Sales Order line.If I pre-populate desired user-enterable Serial numbers on the Line Details tab of Production Order Maintenance, I am expecting that those exact serial numbers would be the choices when I do the final move transaction to put the finished goods back into inventory. On my Move transaction, I expect to see those same 5 serial numbers that I said I was producing to be available in my final move, but they are not available:  Am I missing a configuration somewhere perhaps? I do not understand the intent of pre-populating the serial numbers on Production Order Maintenance  if they are not a

I am just asking if this is not supported or I missed something.I am hoping that when Allow Preassigning Lot/Serial Nbr is checked in prod order, and a lot number is specified in the production order, the Move will use that automatically. It appears it doesn’t.This is example of my order:Tab Line Details: The finished good’s lot/serial class: However when Move is created, the lot number is not used automatically.

I am trying to create the move transaction (AM302000) automatically after releasing the material record when the custom button (Create Move Record) is clicked in the materials screen (AM300000).This is the code I have attempted below it is now creating the move transaction successfully for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are the same but gives the following error for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are different.The transaction cannot be created for Production Order RG PP000504 because the 1H4N7820 lot or serial number has not been preassigned.Example Record to Be Created in Move Screen

We are on 23R2.  The Multi Level BOM does not account for UOM conversions in certain columns, such as Purchase Material and Ext Cost.You can see here that the report is taking the Qty 59.9955 x 800.2736 = $48,012.8148 (very close to $48,016.4145 on the report below). If you convert the 59.9955 to the base UOM for RM2010P, you would get 1.0000 EA and the result for ‘Purchase’ (material) on the RM2010P line would be $800.2736 (correct figure) instead of the $48,016.4145 (incorrect figure).   The Ext Cost column is also incorrect due to the lack of UOM conversion also.Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Seems like a development fix is needed, but maybe I’m missing something?  This is the UOM Conversion setup on the RM2010P Stock Item:

Has anyone else been experiencing significant issues with MRP in 24R2 (particularly 24.211.0024)?Could not create production orders from MRP - fixed by upgrading to 24.211.0024 MRP recommending incorrect action dates - fixed with hotfix Overhead calculations incorrect causing a workaround to be applied - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD team (not MRP related but thought I’d mention this also) MRP recommending too many orders due to the system subtracting (1) from every existing order already on the floor (basically, the system does not even see an open order for qty 1 of a part, if qty is 2 it only sees 1) - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD teamThis last one has potential to cause significant disruptions for our business due to MRP recommending too many orders, causing confused priorities on the shop floor and creating false late orders.

I am using the ECR/ECO process. I created an ECR saying we need to add another step to the routing. I approve and commit the changes through the ECO. This updates the BOM adding operation ID 0075 in this case. However, the Operation DB ID is 15. So when I complete 0075 it is completing all steps with an operation DB ID < (less than) 15. We have zero customizations in this area and are looking at this in  2024R2  

We want to create a BOM that one of the materials required is the same as the finished part.  We need to issue the part to the production order, along with additional parts to repair it.  The finished part comes out of production with the same InventoryID as it went in, but with a new Lot or Serial number.Currently, It seems I cannot add the finished part to the materials.  Is there a way to identify a BOM as a rework BOM that will require this?

Has anyone had any luck with scanning on an ipad in the browser? I have created a new screen, where our shop floor can just scan in the “Request CD” from a QR code and it will find all information about it. I have the “Tab” turned off on all the fields excep the first one. This allows you to “Rapid Fire” scanning and just scan everything you need to without any additional clicking. We were looking at using a browser on an ipad, but you have to click in the field in order to fill it out. it will still go to the next line like it should, but you have to click it before you can enter information. It doesnt do that on a regular computer or a surface. Is there a way to do this or will i have to add it to the acumatica app for it to work?  

Since an update from 2024 R2 207 to 2024 R2 208, backflushed material transactions are pulling material from the wrong location.  The component is lotted.  When there isn’t enough material on a single lot in the specified location to meet the requirement, the split transaction takes material from a location other than the one specified on the production order detail.We’ve opened a support case and it is with R&D.Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue.  It’s causing some major inventory issues.​@angierowley75 Thanks in advance,Laura 

I am used to seeing STD Unit cost details; Material, Labor, OH, Subcontract.  In Acumatica I am only seeing “Unit Cost”.  The issue I am finding is that for WO, Acumatica is showing Production variance detail, which is based on Production Quantity, not standard cost.  Therefore the posted variance break out is unknown as the variance is posted as one amount based on standard cost.If I can find the Std Unit cost details, we should be able to compare STD costs vs Actual Production costs. 

Is there a way or can it be added to see the Operation Description on the Clock Entry Screen (mobile app) instead of just a number..? We are using the clock entry on the mobile app for the employees in our shop, however since they just see Operation ID 10, 20, 30, etc. and not a description it is causing quite a bit of extra work on our managers to make sure their time is coded to the correct ID. Any suggestions welcome. 

Hi Acumatica,I created an Item for a Produce.There are multiple transactions and changes in Current Cost.Upon running the Cost Roll. There is a value in Pending Standard Costand click Update Pending. On the Stock Items Screen, the Pending Cost Updatedand Update Standard Costand the Current Cost is now Updated.

Does anyone know what happened to this on the 24R2 version? We just moved from 23R1 and its gone.   

Hi,Wondering if anyone knows how I can access the fields that contain the cost data of a BOM?I would like to access the fields inside the BOM Cost Summary popup, either via a generic inquiry, API endpoint, or even just a BQL statement, to use elsewhereAny help is much appreciated!!

Is there any functionality in Acumatica where you can enter a production order number and a list of child production orders are display and you can select which child production orders you want to process moves/completions on?This would be sort of like creating or printing production orders.

Hi all,We currently use core Acumatica as an our ERP and are moving to utilise the Manufacturing module. I’ve created all the cost drivers, the bill of materials, etc for our testing and the BOM calculated cost all matches our Manufacturing models, however, when we generate a sample Production Order against that same BOM it generates a difference in the Variable OH attached, and we can’t determine why.So, the BOM has a single operation with the following configuration:Setup Time: 00:00 Run Units: 384.00 Run Time: 01:00 (labour is backflushed) Machine Units: 1,978.710 Machine Time: 01:00 Queue Time: 00:00 Finish Time: 00:00 Move Time: 00:00 Ignoring Materials because the match the BOM Labour is attached via a shift at a Diff Type = Rate, and a rate of 44.690173/ hour. Overhead is attached via a single Overhead rate, which is variable by Machine Hours, has a factor of 1.

Hi Acumatica Community,May I ask if there is a setup of this field to make it automatic enabled upon creation of Production Order Maintenance?  Thank you!
