Is there a way to find the quantity of a stock item issued to a production order? As it stands, once the raw material is issued to the job it no longer exists in inventory, however we always over-issue material and need to account for the over-issue when ordering more raw material.  We may have 15-20 production orders with material issued at the same time so going one by one would be inefficient.  I would assume there is some sort of WIP location that stores this data but I cant find it.  

Ive been getting questions from our engineer to order team about utilizing Planning Production Orders to drive demand, instead of utilizing BOMs. However, I haven't been able to find any documented process of “next steps” after initially driving demand. Is there much of a documented process to replacing or changing to Regular production orders once ready to produce? It seems from initial research, that any use of PL Production Order Types is simply a manual management of use. Any help would be appreciated! 

We’re currently preparing for an MRP implementation in Acumatica, and one of the key risks we’re anticipating is how the system will handle split Sales Orders tied to the same item.Due to capital budget constraints, it’s common in our environment for a single project/item to be split across multiple Sales Orders—sometimes up to 6–8 based on customer capital funding limits (typically around $5,000 per order). From an operational standpoint, these do not represent separate demand signals; they reflect a single underlying requirement that is fragmented for financial reasons.Our concern is how MRP will interpret this structure:Will each split SO be treated as independent demand, potentially inflating supply signals? What is the best way to maintain a unified supply strategy (single PO or Production Order) while demand is distributed across multiple SOs? Are there recommended configurations, linking mechanisms, or planning practices to prevent duplicate or excessive planned orders in this s

We are currently on 24R1, upgrading to 26R1 soon.  Is there a way to create a clock entry for multiple employees at once?

Hi all,we are currently using the Acumatica mobile application on scanners, but it is limited to certain screens.Is it possible to add additional screens, such as Move and Materials from Production Orders in the Manufacturing module, to the mobile application for scanner use?I wanted to check whether this can be done through configuration, mobile app setup, or features settings, or if it would require a customization.  

Hi everyone,We were having issue with the MRP,We have two separate projects, and each project has one Production order. Both production orders use the same BOM and the same material item. Both Projects are configured with inventory tracking = Track by Project quantity and cost.Scenario details: Projects ID Production Order Nbr Start Date BOM ID Purchase Order PROJ-VK-45 ORDER41326 5/11/26 BOM1 008815 JB-007 ORDER2 4/27/26 BOM1    Test steps:Created both production orders under two different projects. Since ORDER2 had the earlier start date, I placed ORDER2 on hold for testing purposes. Ran Regenerate Inventory Planning. Based on the demand from ORDER41326, the system created the supply suggestion, and we created a Purchase Order 008815 Then I removed ORDER2 from hold Ran MRP again Reviewed Inventory Planning Results by Item.Issue observed: After the second MRP run, the s

Hi all,I have a question regarding the BOM Compare screen in Multi- Level BOM.when I compare two revisions of the same Bill of Materials, the compare does not explode down to the lower material level to show the detailed component changes. Because of this, I’m not able to clearly identify the exact changes at the lower level unless I manually go and perform the BOM compare on the Lower-Level BOM itself.Is this the intended behavior of the screen, or is there any setting, configuration, or process that needs to be enabled so that it can explode fully and show the lower-level material changes directly?  

Issue description If a production order was created from the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form for a non-lot/serial tracked item or a lot/serial tracked item with the When Used assignment method, there was a mismatch between the Qty. to Produce in the Summary area and the Quantity column on the Line Details tab on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form (see the following screenshot). On the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form, the system displays incorrect allocation for the production order that was created (as the following screenshot shows).  In this scenario, when the quantity in the Quantity column on the Line Details tab is less than the quantity shown in the Qty to Produce box in the Summary area, the demand reoccurs on the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form, and this results in incorrect MRP Planning. Root cause This is a known issue for the following builds of Acumatica ERP:2025 R1 Service Pack 1 (Build 25.101.0153 ) and later 2024 R2 Update

Hi,Can the attributes from inventory item screen be added as a field into a customization? I am looking to add a few attributes from inventory items to the Sales Orders detail tab so when entering an line item for an order it will lookup the field from the attributes. I cannot see the attributes I have created to add them. Any thoughts? 

When I link an open Purchase Order to a Production Order using the PO Link button, the PO and Line do not show on the outside process tab. Does that tab only show the PO when you create the PO from the Production Order? 

Hi,Looking for input on how to correct a product configuration and resulting production order that is in progress or completed.Scenario: A production order is created and partially completed, when it is decided that there needs to be a small change to the configuration. We manufacture portable storage buildings (pineviewbuildings.com) and in our case, this might be something as simple as changing the paint color due to a customer request or inventory needs changing midstream. The more common scenario is that a production employee made a mistake in the construction and now the configuration needs to be corrected to match the physical unit. Currently, there is no option modify the product configuration in any way after the production order has been released. The closest we can come is creating a new production order that consumes the finished good from the first production order, create the correct configuration result and then manually modify the materials. This, as you can imagine is v

We are adding a new role (raw material handler) in our manufacturing department. Among other duties,  this individual will be tasked with pulling the raw material needed for upcoming production orders and moving that material to a production staging area.    In order to streamline this process we are looking for a report that they can use to direct them to the material they need to pull.  My initial thought is that the report needs to contain the following information:Raw Material Inventory ID Qty of material on hand (broken down by Lot/SN & Inventory Location) Production Order driving demand Demand Qty on Production order Work Center on Bill of Material operation that is driving demand. In a ideal world the report would be sorted by inventory ID with the other information flowing from there,  but I am thinking we really need to drive this from the Production orders with released status, and then flow down to the inventory ID, qty, stock location etc.  Does anyone know if a repo

We are on 25R2 modern UI and using the New Release Process for Manufacturing.  I have seen two glitches so far, and wondered if anyone else has seen these in their instance:A Move that completes an operation no longer records Actual Start Date and Actual End Date in the AMProdOper (Production Details, routing section) table.  We have critical reports that rely on these dates, and they are broken right now due to this issue. The final Move (production receipt) for a linked Production Order to SO Line no longer allocates the inventory to the SO Line.  You have to delete the SO Line and re-add it to invoice the sales order.  The issue this creates for us is that the production order loses the link to the Sales Order, also breaking critical reports that help us report on stock product versus build-to-order product.I don’t see a way to undo the New Release Process, but I would like to.

Hello all,I have been trying to create child Prod Orders, but unfortunately, when I click on Generate Orders for Subassemblies option under Prod Order Maintenance → More Menu, it runs & then says “The Operation has been complted”, but it doesnt generate any child orders. Also, I have defined default BOMs for my subassembly parts & also have defined Production Default Source as Manufacturing.How can I resolve this?

Is there a way in the MFG BOM to have the Component flagged to only pull from Lot number?In other ERP systems ( like GP) , there is a single lot feature. Goal is have MRP understand that our component can only be consumed from one lot.  

We use serial tracked products that sometimes get consumed into other internal orders but sometimes get sold as is to the customer. We are having a hard time finding a way to get a list of serial tracked items that have neither been consumed into other orders nor sold to the customer. Any guidance of how to best pull together this information into a GI that employees can check against? I’m thinking probably some combination of ARTran and AMMTran info

In the Acumatica Manufacturing module, we occasionally need to run two production orders in parallel on the same work center (for example, when one order requires an earlier completion date or due to other scheduling priorities).What is the recommended approach in Acumatica to support this scenario?Is adjusting the start dates and splitting the crew the only option, or is there a way within the system (e.g., capacity settings, overlapping operations, or configuration of the work center) to allow multiple production orders to run concurrently on the same work center?

In our manufacturing process the logistics team wraps our cabinets, which are pieces of our displays. The wrapped cabinets go into crates which are grouped and shipped as an entire process for assembly in a site.  Hitting the Available-to-Promise is critical to our customer, and for this reason we would like the production schedule to factor the time consumed to pack and crate.  Has anyone model logistics as a work center?  How do you factor logistics capacity down time when the is not available to pack because they are receiving material? 

This is what I’ve been able to build but I want to make section that gives me a final number of how many I can build. Not have it show me what the lowest number in stock that I have. I want to see a section that says I can only build 6. 

Our process is Engineering creates BOM, Production Planning creates the Production Order under the Project, and the BOM is linked to the Production Order to generate material demand. Purchasing then procures material based on that demand.Our challenge is with ECO driven BOM revisions. If the Production order is still in Planning status, we can update the order with the new BOM revision and regenerate the demand successfully. However, after the Production Order is Released and material has been Issued, the status moves to In-Process, and we are no longer able to update the Production Order with the latest BOM revision.In this situation, the only option we currently see is to reverse the material issues, delete the existing Production Order, recreate a new Production order with the updated BOM revision, and then proceed again. This is operationally heavy and inefficient.I would like to know whether Acumatica provides any standard functionality, recommended process, or best practice for h

We are about a year into using ACM and are still refining our reporting specifically around product availability.We take at once and future orders(a year or more sometimes) and our planning department is trying to get a shortage report based on a inputted time fence. We allocate inventory to orders 60 days out. We are trying to write a report to see where were are short of inventory in a 90 day window and a 120 day window. Short is defined as a)total on hand inventory, less hard orders b)total on hand inventory less hard order and forecasts. I was going to create a GI based on item time fence to net out the appropriate elements from PX.Objects.AM.AMRPPlan. This seems cumbersome, how are other doing this?  

Hello! Is there any way to have the Record Notes / Pop-Up Notes show up when we enter a material line directly into the Production Order Details? Currently we have a bunch of items that are Kanban and we do not want anyone to use the Mark for PO functionality to set purchase demand without checking stock first. Initially I put pop-up notes on the specific Kanban Stock Items and found that it didn’t pop-up when entered into the Prod. Ord. Details screen. Thought I’d try and see if it would copy as an internal note instead and came to the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Hello Community, I am trying to create a BOM with a phantom subassembly child on one of my operations. I have costs set on the materials of the phantom BOM. The problem is the cost does not roll into an estimate when copying the parent BOM onto the “Estimates” form. It loads the operation with the phantom item but with 0 cost. I do have the cost set to 0 on the parent BOM I am loading on the estimate, but the materials of the phantom BOM are manually set and should calculate up to 6000. Is there a way of getting the phantom material cost to “Explode” for the estimate before the creation of the production order? Phantom BOM:  Parent BOM: Estimation Operation: Thanks,Adam

What is the trick to get a default value on this screen for the Warehouse? It is a customized screen vs a GI, but am not entirely sure. Does it need to be coded in, or can it be added in a simpler manner? Thanks
