Manufacturing

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.

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, 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.  

Hello.  has anyone ever seen this error? First time I’ve seen it.  It came up after completing a refresh to our test environment from production and rolling costs.  

Hello,We keep getting this error when trying to Issue Materials.This is happening for all finished products we are making using the item 00029049, regardless of lot. We had previously made production orders using this item numerous dozens of times before, most recently just four months ago. As I have highlighted, we have sufficient qty. On Hand, Available and Available for Shipping (we also have an equal amount as Available for Issue).There is no qty. allocated:We have checked the BOM and it is OK.We have deleted and recreated the Production Orders (using various lots we have on hand to see if it was truly a warehouse, warehouse location or allocation issue - it is not).The warehouse location allows sales. The location is the Default Issue From location for thousands of other items with no problem.The stock item is Active.We have Recalculated Inventory.This seems totally random and nothing we have done is fixing it. We are well versed with production orders and how they work, including

Does anyone know of a tool to mass update/copy/populate BOMs or Production Orders? My company is an engineer-to-order business that manufacture custom products under 4-5 product lines. For instance, Product Line #1 can have a seemingly infinite number of one-off configurations. To capture these types of products we typically use an “empty” BOM with just the routing and use the production order as the document where the BOM gets filled out (combined effort from estimating/project management/engineering departments). However, our end users are facing some difficulty with the time it takes to populate / mass-update production orders. For instance, we typically see sales orders of 80-100 repeatable (or non-repeatable which takes longer) one-off products that all fall under the same product line. These are specific to the customer and do not all ship at the same time so we choose to break them up by the ship date. So typically we would see a Sales Order with 80-100 individual lines since th

Hi Community,I’m looking to get your thoughts on ETO manufacturing and custom-built subassemblies.  Our client does a tremendous amount of Engineer-to-Order manufacturing.  In many cases, their solutions may ultimately be built once, which may also include a reasonably large portion of their subassemblies, such as laser-cut sheet metal parts.  The custom products and subassemblies often fit nicely into a handful of product classes, but in their current state, they are often creating new SKUs for ETO product and subassembly.  These parts are virtually never in inventory beyond the time necessary to issue them to a production order or ship the FG to the customer.  The client will be using CADLink, which will be used to generate SKUs, BOMs, and to update Production Orders. We can continue down this path, which is fine.  With that said, it feels as though there could be some potential benefit of creating skeleton SKUs and BOMs representing generic versions of these products. This is a solu

Has anyone developed a system where the move transaction can be done in batches similar to how the materials wizard functions? We release materials when a production order is completed in house so we do the materials and move transaction one right after the other. The materials wizard allows us to release materials for dozens of production orders if needed, but now we need that same functionality but for the move transactions.

I am looking for a way to add dock-to-stock period into MRP planning (does not need to be part number specific, can be one stock period for all parts) so we get a purchase part in a day or two before our schedule actually shows we need it. Lead time additions will just order the part earlier, not bring it in earlier. Anyone else have a solution to this? I feel like it's right there in front of me, but can’t seem to locate the solution. 

Cannot delete revision nor choose which revision from which to copy to a new revisionIn the product configurator module, I made a new revision (AF) on CFG0000030, but in doing so, I made a sizable error that I cannot easily undo. What I want to do is delete revision AF, go back to revision AE, and have that be the basis for yet another revision for the rest of the edits I need to make. However, the system does not allow me to delete revision AF. I can only inactivate it. If I do this, AF remains the basis for the new revision (call it ‘AG’). Is there anything I can do here?
