Manufacturing

I am processing a Capable to Promise order and it is creating a unique production order for each line item on the sales order. Is there a way to get the system to create one production order for the entire sales order? 

Looking for a Time Clock device that is compatible with Acumatica for employees to clock-in/clock-out of manufacturing work orders. This is possible with the Acumatica APP with an android scanner such as the TC21. But it is not practical for a shop of 20+ production employees who are clocking in and out of production orders often. It requires the user to login to the application. It is clunk and time consuming. We need the employee to be able to scan a badge and WO barcode to clock-in and out of work orders. This is nothing new to the manufacturing world. https://www.acumatica.com/cloud-erp-software/manufacturing-management/manufacturing-data-collection/ Based on Acumatic-Automated-Data-Capture-ADC-Playbook.pdf it sounded like this would be no problem. But, we have yet to fi

I am new to Acumatica, so, please be patient with me. I need to export production order records from Acumatica. I am successfully doing that but I have been requested to update information back into Acumatica so I thought that if I had the unique record id then finding the right record to update would be easier. My issue is, I don’t see an option to include the unique value (primary index?) when doing the initial export of data. Is there a way to include the unique record id in a generic inquiry? Thanks in advance!

Hi Is it possible to use substitution lists to build the description of the Key? I’m not sure if I am doing something wrong, as it is listed in the list of available functions, but I keep getting this error Any help would be greatly appreciated. RegardsBev

We have an scenario, where a customer they want to consider Project related Stock on MRP demand planning.For example, consider an item with a demand of 100 units and an available stock of 50 units, but this stock is tied to a project layer. The customer expects that any stock on a project layer should be excluded from standard MRP calculations.Additionally, there is another project-specific demand of 70 units for the same item. Since there are already 50 units available on the project layer, the system should only suggest purchasing the remaining 20 units.We understand that this functionality is currently not supported, but is there any plan to incorporate such logic in a future release?

In Acumatica, creating material returns against production orders requires users to manually select each material line, making the process time-consuming and prone to errors. Unlike the Material Issue screen, there is currently no functionality to automatically prefill relevant data when reversing issued materials. Is there any plan to introduce auto-prefill capabilities for material returns in future Acumatica releases to streamline this workflow and improve efficiency? 

Hi,I would like to know a method to reserve and request raw material inventory from the Raw Material Stores under the following two scenarios: When the Manufacturing module is not enabled When the Manufacturing module is enabled, and production orders are raised against specific Sales Orders In both cases, users are required to request raw materials from the stores for specific lot or batch numbers allocated to a particular Sales Order. Once the inventory is allocated, it must be reserved and restricted from being issued to any other order.Could you please advise whether there is a standard process or recommended method in Acumatica to handle this scenarioThank you in advance 

On the MRP side, is there any table where consolidated demand information is stored? We have a client who wants to include parent demand details in the Purchase Order. However, since demand gets consolidated during the MRP process, it may not be possible to retain or link specific parent demand information at the PO level. I'm trying to find out if the system stores any consolidated demand data that we can reference.

If you have Advanced Planning and Scheduling enabled, does the Fixed Manufacturing Leadtime do anything to Action Dates on planned supply in the Inventory Planning Display? Help seems to indicate that it is not considered, and that is what I am seeing, just checking to make certain this is the case.

We have found that the Mass Change form erroneously converts the UOMs in the BOM to the base UOM instead of leaving it as it was.  This is catastrophic for us who use UOM conversions on our Raw Materials that are defined as a 20’ EA on the Stock Item, but in the BOM we consume IN (inches).  In the below example the BOM was erroneously changed to consume 272.00 EA (272 20’ pieces) instead of 272.00 IN (inches).Anyone else out there that has experienced this? 

while creating formula in the formula master screen, qty in prod. volume unit and material type, qty. in prod. wt. unit, weight %, volume %-these fields are not auto filled. can someone help me how to fix this issue.

It seems that the run time for labor and machine cannot be less than whole minute intervals. The BOM preference options do not appear to have an option to capture seconds. It feels like this cannot be right so what am I missing? Note: I saw a post on this from 2 years ago but there do not seem to be any changes to the options.

Hi Acumatica,Is there a way not to require the Production Order Nbr.?The client's requirement is to run a critical material for all production orderIs there another report in Acumatica that will satisfy the requirements?Thank you! 

I am trying to enter a Disassembly for a Production Order. I entered the original Production Order number in the References tab, but Materials in the Disassembly order are using their current cost.  The reason we are doing the Disassembly order is to correct the inaccurate Materials cost from the original Production Order. How can we get the original Production Order “reversed” using the original costs? 

 I have one production order with two operations and 3 qty, serial track and Include scrap in completion checkbox is unchecked in production preference screen.Now I have created one production order with 3 qty, three serial lot SRF000131, SRF000132 and SRF000133 Generated on production order released.Now I have created first move operation for first operation, 1 qty scrapped (SRF000131) with scrap Action quarantine and qty is scrap checked, and other two qty I have moved.Now I have created second move operation for second operation, I have moved all 3 qty but error is coming "Error: Serial Number 'SRF000131' for item 'AAMACHINE1' is already received".I have already unchecked Include scrap in completion checkbox in production preference screen. same case for lot track is allowed to move operations.why different behaviors for lot track and serial track...please suggest ..Thanks

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.
