Hi All,We have a client looking at multiple nesting products and at this point they are most interested in SigmaNest.  https://www.sigmanest.com/en Does anyone have any experience with these folks?  Good or Bad?  Thx in advance!

In 2025 R1, we have noticed that the production order type is not copied to child subassemblies.  This worked properly in 2024 R2 and prior versions.  This is what we’re seeing:Generate Order Subassemblies generates subassemblies using the default production order type from the Production Preferences screen Critical Assemblies side panel – The Order Type is read only on Create Production Order pop-up Critical Assemblies stand alone screen – Order type can be changed but doesn’t have any effect.  Regardless of the selection, the child orders use the default production order type from Production Preferences.Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance!Laura

I’ve got a Outside Processing Production Order that uses Purchase Orders to complete one of the steps, however, upon release of the Purchase Receipt, nothing happens. All of them are linked together, however, the qty on the specific line in the production order is unfulfilled. Is there a specific step that I missed that would be causing this issue.The Production Order’s Link to the POThe Purchase OrderPurchase ReceiptProduction Order Line still unfufilled. 

I’m trying to produce a PO for a outside process production order, and keep getting the “At Least one item has not been processed” and the PO isn’t created. The trace log doesn’t seem to give any indication of what the error could be or how to solve it. I’ve attached images of the PO and Trace Log for reference. 

Good day,I have production order that has issue with Planned vs. Actual.  The variance is way out of whack.  The cost correct.  The material amounts are all correct.  The Planned is on target.  The issue is the actual.  How could this happen?  The BOM is on point.  We have used it many times in the past.Any suggestions? Or areas to look?See screenshot below.Thank you in advance for your assistance.Evan 

I have a client that purchases used equipment for refurbishing. They do not always know if an item can be refurbished at the time of purchase. One of the operations in production is to assess the item. If an item cannot be refurbished for sale, it gets put back into inventory in a quarantine location using a negative material transaction. Eventually the item is parted out using a disassembly production order to get as much value out of the item and the parted items are used for future repairs and refurbishments. There is labor incurred in the disassembly process however we cannot get the cost of labor allocated to the parted-out items. Is it possible to capitalize labor as part of the disassemble transaction? I tried recording a labor transaction as both a positive and negative and, in both cases, it ends up in the WIP adjustment entry for the difference between the parted-out items and the cost of the item being disassembled.

We are a manufacturing company using 2023R2 and we are trying to find a process where we can pre invoice some of our clients before we ship the product.  

We are unable to close a production order. It might have been forcefully completed or a move transaction deleted. Need guidance to resolve this and close the production order. Inventory module cannot be closed due to this error.Missing Move Transaction: When I click one of the move transaction numbers, it doesn’t react. It seems like it was forcefully deleted. Production order status: Completed.How can I resolve this to close the books?

Hello ,I am facing this issue i am not able to get the qty to produce in production detail screen for all the work centers. 

Has anyone else experienced issues with labor recording since the 25R1 patch was deployed on 11/5?We use Acumatica’s mobile app for our shop floor employees to record labor time on production orders. Since the update, we’ve been unable to record any labor time. When attempting to access Manufacturing Clock Entry on the app, we receive the following error message:“Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”We’ve been in contact with our VAR, who has escalated the issue to Acumatica support, but we’re now into day two without the ability to record production labor.If anyone else is encountering the same issue or has found a workaround, please share.

This is my mappingThis is the errorHere is the GICan anyone look at this and tell me what these ultimately means? Feels like I am close to something but need help. Do I need to map more for validation? 

What would be better structure when using the configurator in Acumatica:1.- Have a base unit “configurable part number” with multiple options.2.- Create a blank part number “model” and everything else, “base unit” + options setup as selectable options?

Hello, I am getting an error when trying to create a purchase order from my Production Order. The Purchase order contains two non-stock items and upon “Processing” the Purchase Order I get two errors, one for each item, and the PO is never created. This only appears to be issues with Non-Stock items. Thoughts?

The business provides configured to order Sales Quotes to customers, There can be a number of different configurations on a Sales Quote.Due to the sales process, Sales Quotes can be in draft for up to 6 months, before they are won and converted to a Sales Order. Within this time frame, it is common for the Engineering to create new revisions for the configured items.This is issue is that on many occasions, at the time of conversion, the configuration revision on the quote has been superseded  is inactive and the configurations have to amended to activate the relevant revisions on the Sales Quote to convert to a Sales Order.Would anyone know if there is a workaround or remedy for this situation?

I am unable to uncheck an item for backflush in the production detail screen.My (+) and (-) are also grayed out and I am unable to add or remove lines to the production detail.I was able to make these changes before but now it is not letting me. I attached a screenshot for reference. 

Hi All, I reviewed some articles and most of them couldn’t answer a very simple Use Case.In Manufacturing it is very common that more than just screw or other Components Parts are used as they break in the process or other things.This is technically Scrap that needs (for typical processes) to be logged as Scrap rather than Material Cost against the Production Order.I can’t seem to find a way to accommodate for that kind of Scrap. Scrapping the FG is just completely overstating and doesn’t let the User adjust.Utilizing a Scrap Factor just adds to Material Cost rather than considering it as actual Scrap Cost.I would be very surprised if we cannot accommodate for this at all?This is just so common. Scrap is not the actual Material Cost but separate from Raw Material Cost and needs to be logged - not only for the FG with Scrap write-off.

Hi all. I am trying to update stock items with a default supplier, minimum order qty and attributes. However, I keep getting an error Field: Supplier ID, Value:           , Error: 'Supplier ID' cannot be found in the system.Please see below mapping and let me know what I am missing: 

Is there a way to warn or halt the creation of a production order when the item being created has a BOM that is on any status that is not Active?

I am using the bills and adjustments tab and wanting to edit / release from here. What access do I need to request to gain this access?

Hello, We are able to select the Mark For Production checkbox on all order types besides RM. We are not trying to do this on the receipt line, but we are trying to do this on the issue line. I have already tested the “Make item to order” box is properly functioning. Any Ideas on why we cannot mark a line for production on an RM? Thanks :)

From the IP display page it looks like Acumatica is suggesting that we order 2 cases or this item. But when I go to the Display By Item for this item, I see that a PO already exists and that what is on the PO will suffice our inventory needs (and then some since a customer placed a special order). Here are the Warehouse Details for this item: If my purchaser wasn’t being so diligent about double checking IP recommendations she would have ordered an additional 2 cases that we did not need. How do I make that Inventory Planning Requirement line not show up on the IP Display page?

I just finished a meeting about phantom BOM items and wanted to get the community’s perspective. From what I’m seeing, continuing down the phantom path might reduce visibility into what’s actually being built and why. It also looks like materials tied to phantom BOMs won’t appear on the Critical Materials screen.My question: who here is actively using phantom BOMs, and what real advantages have you found?Our main reason for considering phantoms is to avoid creating separate production orders for subassemblies that we don’t stock, which would otherwise lead to redundant move transactions and extra data entry.

I have an Attribute added to Production Orders.  I need to update the value via the API.  I’ve tried PUT/PATCH/POSTing to the ProductionOrder endpoint with a body like:{  "OrderAttributes": [    {      "AttributeID": {        "value": "PKGMETHOD"      },      "Value": {        "value": "B"      }    }  ],  "OrderType": {    "value": "WO"  },  "ProductionNbr": {    "value": "00000006"  }}...but I just get an error like "The system failed to commit the ProductionAttributes row."  What do I need to do to update the attribute?

The goal is to leverage the width given earlier in configuration and a bottom spreader type selection to include a target option. So WIDTH = 36, BST = ‘ST’; Thus target option is BST36. My initial thought was to create a rule under the BST attribute like so:Include, Custom Condition,  Value 1: =([width]=36 And [bst] = ‘ST’, True, False), etcBut I’ll get an error when trying to run a test config when referencing the attribute I am creating a rule inside. I think it doesn’t like referencing itself ([bst] being the attribute in this case)To make things even more odd, I was able to do this on the attribute above this one, but this one is the last one and for some reason it just keeps throwing this error. Thoughts? Edit: Upon further investigation, I found that the test configurator doesn’t like having custom conditions that reference attributes that have not yet been defined. So I can use the formula above in the condition but only if there is a default value for that attribute already set
