Manufacturing

We have a stock item that is primarily manufactured, but can also be purchased / outsourced when required.Since the Item Master allows only one Replenishment Source, we would like to understand how MRP handles order quantities: If MRP generates a Manufacturing Order, does it use the Inventory Planning tab (min / lot size)? If the same item is planned as a Purchase Order, does it use the Vendor tab minimum order quantity? As per my understanding, MRP behavior is driven by the Replenishment Source, and standard MRP does not support planning the same item as both Make and Buy automatically with different order quantities.Please let me know if this understanding is correct or if there is a supported approach.

We are experiencing a workflow issue related to Production Orders in Acumatica Manufacturing and would like clarification on expected system behavior.In our case: A Production Order was marked as Completed After completion, the system still allowed posting additional transactions, including Move transactions However, when attempting to Close the Production Order, we receive the following error: “Select a production order for which transactions are allowed according to the workflow.”We understand that Acumatica may allow late Labor or Material adjustments after an order is marked Completed, but we have not seen clear documentation confirming whether Move transactions are expected or supported after Completed status.Questions: Is it expected behavior that Acumatica allows Move transactions after a Production Order is marked Completed? If allowed, should this prevent the Production Order from being Closed later due to workflow validation? Is this considered a workflow limitation,

Hello all,We are documenting our business processes (in Visio swimlane flowcharts) prior to implementing Acumatica modules. The manufacturing module looks like it will work well as is. As a time saver: does anyone have flowcharts already developed that document manufacturing workflow (with standard Acumatica configuration)?Thank you in advance,Gerry

I work in a manufacturing environment that requires production work orders to be split for validations, new tooling runs, qualifications that were not originally planned for.  The problem is that I don’t see the functionality that allows me to split a production order.  The worst part is that we have to link our SO’s to the production orders when created for lot tracing. Every time I get a request for splitting, in order to keep the linking correct, I have to go all the way back to the original Sales Order and make changes, and so on... Reduce the original sales order lineCreate new lines for the split qty’sMark those new lines for productionGenerate new production ordersPrint new production ticketsReduce the production order and print a new ticketWhen shipping, this then creates additional work as now they have several lines instead of 1 line int he sales order.  I was wondering if I missed this functionality or maybe someone has a similar problem and came up with a less time-consumin

Our company utilizes our Quality Assurance team for Supplier Management. Does Acumatica have any Supplier Management functionality with regards to monitoring specific stock items that are on back order with vendors? Also, is there a way to restrict items to only being purchased from specific vendors, or vice versa (vendors can only sell a specific category(ies) of items)?

Hello Experts, i was looking to create a GI to show material planned cost and actuaL cost for production order, i was in doubt that the data which i am looking because values may be calculated value, it may not be stored value. can anyone suggest me your opinion for this.

Some context - We are a high volume production transaction location and we scrap/reject off work orders to either scrap or rework locations. We quarantine scrap to be able to rework it if necessary. At end of month we purge our scrap locations (issue out of system) to record the expense on our P&L. However we seem to have ran into an issue since we went live in 2022 when we do a negative move that is scrap (we call these negative scrap transactions). We do this to try and reverse the move transaction when there is an error/mistake when it was created/posted. Acumatica doesn’t seem to like this very much as it doesn’t correctly reverse the posted transactions, reverse the inventory, or update the Work Order Totals. Every time this happens (a lot) we have manually reverse the inventory back into WIP, post an opposite transaction WIP adjustment to correct Work Order Totals, check to see if the Applied Overheard reversed correctly (Cost transaction), and finally many any Adjusting Jour

Hello, I generated a Purchase Order for a Production Order from the Critical Materials screen. I can clearly see the demand with the Production Order # listed on the Purchase Order. I wanted to know if there was a way to receive the Purchase Order and directly issue it to the Production order from the receipt screen. In our legacy ERP, we were able to buy directly to Production Order without having to receive it into inventory and then do a material transaction like in Acumatica. I’m looking for some way to lower the amount of steps that it takes to purchase and issue out items to a production order for our team. If you need more context let me know. 

We are in the middle of implementation and I am writing a workflow for issuing Purchase Orders to Outside Process vendors for metal finishing (Ie: Powdercoating, Plating, etc),  however I am not certain that I am totally clear on the correct process. We have setup non-stock items to represent the outside processes.  These have been defined as a service, They have vendor(s) associated with them on the vendors tab and the default price as been set to $1.00.   On the manufactured (stock) item I have defined a BOM and on the operation step for the outside service I have added the Non-Stock item (Powdercoat) to the BOM as a material.  The qty required has been set to the per-piece cost that I was quoted,  the Unit cost remains at $1.00, The material type has been set to “Sub Contract” and the Subcontract Source has been set to “Purchase”.  On the Outside processes tab I have also checked the “Outside Process” box and have selected the preferred vendor for this operation.  I have then opened

Hello Experts, I am getting stuck in one of the issue how to show all the warehouse qty  for an item in inventory planning display when MRP is run, is there any setup missing i have enabled inventory planning check box for the warehouse location which are there in item, but then after iam unable to get the all warehouse location qty when mrp is run.

Hi Community,Many of our manufacturing clients are ETO shops who are incorporating Project Accounting (or Professional Services) with Manufacturing.  Do to the nature of the ETO manufacturing, the client is often required to recognize revenue using the Percentage of Completion method, per their CPAs.We love that manufacturing and (formally) project accounting are integrated, but from an accounting perspective it feels as though cost accounting for manufacturing and project accounting couldn’t be further apart, and I’m struggling as to the best way to leverage the best of each feature set to achieve the client’s accounting goals.  To illustrate, in manufacturing (and in a full-absorbtion cost accounting paradigm) the costs of each production order are capitalized to WIP Inventory on the balance sheet until the production order is complete.  Upon completion the accumulated manufacturing costs are placed in FG Inventory until the goods are “sold” and “shipped” to the customer.  Therefore

 We have a project with multiple tasks from initiation to signoff. For this project, we’re creating Production Orders for multiple Finished Goods. Labor Transactions: When labor transactions are created for a production order, they generate a GL transaction that posts to the WIP (Work-in-Progress) account. Upon closing the production, the labor costs move to the Finished Goods (FG) inventory. Shipping/Issuing Finished Goods: When the finished goods are shipped or issued, the costs move to COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) and update the Material account group in the project. Is this flow and my understanding correct? The main challenge I’m facing is tracking the production labor costs that have been reported back to the project, particularly when there is a budget allocated for labor costs. Labor Budgeting: How can I ensure that the actual production labor costs are properly tracked against the budget that was allocated for labor within the project? Linking Labor to the Project: How do I m

We have a problem in configuring work center. A work center is configured with ‘basis of capacity’ set to crew size, and three shifts are added, each with a different calendar. The calendars are configured with 8 working hours in a day, but the timings are different. When the MRP runs, the action date calculates based on the crew size and calendar in the first row of shifts but we thought it would consider all the shifts. If all the shifts are considered, the action lead time should be reduced to one-third, as the total working hours of the work center are 24 hours.We are not sure why Acumatica considers only the shift details in the first row

When updating the Safety Stock and other settings on the INVENTORY PLANNING tab of a stock item, the new value carries over to all existing item warehouse details records for the item. Shouldn’t it only carry over to whatever the default warehouse is? It seems undesirable for it to update all warehouse detail records because each warehouse could have its own safety stock. This is on 25R1 25.101.0153.5. I understand that when multiple warehouses are available that the planning settings should be updated on the individual item warehouse details records. However, it becomes confusing for users when there may only be 2 warehouses (one ‘Main’ and a secondary back up warehouse). It’s easier to simply update the safety stock on the stock item and have that setting carry over to the warehouse detail record for the default warehouse, rather than also updating the secondary warehouse. Is this expected behavior?

I need to advise the sales team regarding the availability of materials in the multilevel BOMs (Capable to Promise (CTP) multi-level BoM), which may include both Manufacturing and purchasing items at various levels. Any ideas on how to create a GI or even generate a report showing the INSiteStatus.QtyAvail using AMMultiLevelBomData?

Hi  I have been trying to set up CTP with a multi-level BoM and I am having some trouble. Does anyone know if CTP work with multi-level BoMs please? Thanks Matt 

I’m working with a customer who is setting up a fairly lengthy configurator for their industrial product. He discovered that if he missed an option for one of the features, and then adds it in under the Features form, that it will not pull this new option into the selection set within the maintenance for his configuration. He ends up having to delete the feature, and then add it back in and recreate all the rules associated with that feature. I did see that you can export options and rules, then import them again when you recreate which should help the situation.Has anyone else noticed this, and is there any other way to update the feature without having to remove it from the configuration. I tried using the refresh tool and that didn’t appear to pull in the new option. Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions.

i have role Admin and have full access rights to report. Report have one parameter: Please help me. All report in system when i selected  is no data availible parameter. I think it's a permissions issue. But I also have administrator access and access control for report.

Hello Has anyone seen this error? I added Mass Actions to a GI for Production Order Ticket, but when I try to mass edit them or even one, I get this error. I was looking to complete or cancel multiples at once.  

As shown in the screenshot below, we understand that when a Move transaction is performed, the system should create both: The Move Transaction, and The corresponding Cost Transaction. This is not the actual screenshot; it was taken from the local system. In our case, we can only see the yellow-highlighted Move transaction line. The Cost Transaction shown above does not appear in the Production Order. We have identified an issue where, after completing a Move transaction, the Cost Transaction is not being created for that specific Move.As a result, the system generates a WIP Adjustment Transaction when closing the Production Order instead.We reviewed two Production Orders for the same Item Code, and confirmed that both orders have the same Event History and appear to be configured identically.In one Production Order, the Move did generate a Cost Transaction, while in the other, it did not.There are also no Parent Production Orders associated with these cases, and the No project Associ

If a user does not have any previous Time Clock entries created in the browser, the mobile app does not have an option to + Add a new entry.I’ve seen demos in YouTube that show a + button to start new entries.We checked settings and user rights.The user can create new clock entries in the browser, but not in the app.Any suggestions? Thanks 

The action dates for the purchase items shown in the inventory planning display do not match, even though all the purchase items within the box are used to manufacture the same item for the same sales order. Additionally, no lead time is specified for these purchase items, and there is no available quantity in the warehouse. 

Hi All. Do you know why I get this error when linking the BOM in Production Order. The Production order was created from SO if that helps, but there were also 2 items in SO that was marked for Production and linking the BOM is fine without error. Can you please help? 

Hi everyone Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue in Engineering Workbench and Visual BOM. In BOM, the Subassembly Item BOM is set to Revision B.But in Visual BOM and Engineering Workbench, it pulls in BOM Revision A. Is this intended behaviour of these two screens? Revision A is not the default BOM for the subassembly. Thanks for your input. 

HI, I would like to confirm the MRP configuration at the stock item level in line with the latest 2025 R1 updates. I have completed the configuration and tested a few MRP cycles, which are attached for your reference.Could you please help confirm whether the configured process flows are aligned with the expected standard behavior? Additionally, I would appreciate clarification on a few questions related to the results observed during testing.
