Manufacturing

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.

I am trying to create the move transaction (AM302000) automatically after releasing the material record when the custom button (Create Move Record) is clicked in the materials screen (AM300000).This is the code I have attempted below it is now creating the move transaction successfully for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are the same but gives the following error for records where Lot/Serial Number and Parent Lot/Serial Number are different.The transaction cannot be created for Production Order RG PP000504 because the 1H4N7820 lot or serial number has not been preassigned.Example Record to Be Created in Move Screen

We are on 23R2.  The Multi Level BOM does not account for UOM conversions in certain columns, such as Purchase Material and Ext Cost.You can see here that the report is taking the Qty 59.9955 x 800.2736 = $48,012.8148 (very close to $48,016.4145 on the report below). If you convert the 59.9955 to the base UOM for RM2010P, you would get 1.0000 EA and the result for ‘Purchase’ (material) on the RM2010P line would be $800.2736 (correct figure) instead of the $48,016.4145 (incorrect figure).   The Ext Cost column is also incorrect due to the lack of UOM conversion also.Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Seems like a development fix is needed, but maybe I’m missing something?  This is the UOM Conversion setup on the RM2010P Stock Item:

Has anyone else been experiencing significant issues with MRP in 24R2 (particularly 24.211.0024)?Could not create production orders from MRP - fixed by upgrading to 24.211.0024 MRP recommending incorrect action dates - fixed with hotfix Overhead calculations incorrect causing a workaround to be applied - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD team (not MRP related but thought I’d mention this also) MRP recommending too many orders due to the system subtracting (1) from every existing order already on the floor (basically, the system does not even see an open order for qty 1 of a part, if qty is 2 it only sees 1) - unsolved, waiting on Acumatica RnD teamThis last one has potential to cause significant disruptions for our business due to MRP recommending too many orders, causing confused priorities on the shop floor and creating false late orders.

I am using the ECR/ECO process. I created an ECR saying we need to add another step to the routing. I approve and commit the changes through the ECO. This updates the BOM adding operation ID 0075 in this case. However, the Operation DB ID is 15. So when I complete 0075 it is completing all steps with an operation DB ID < (less than) 15. We have zero customizations in this area and are looking at this in  2024R2  

We want to create a BOM that one of the materials required is the same as the finished part.  We need to issue the part to the production order, along with additional parts to repair it.  The finished part comes out of production with the same InventoryID as it went in, but with a new Lot or Serial number.Currently, It seems I cannot add the finished part to the materials.  Is there a way to identify a BOM as a rework BOM that will require this?

Has anyone had any luck with scanning on an ipad in the browser? I have created a new screen, where our shop floor can just scan in the “Request CD” from a QR code and it will find all information about it. I have the “Tab” turned off on all the fields excep the first one. This allows you to “Rapid Fire” scanning and just scan everything you need to without any additional clicking. We were looking at using a browser on an ipad, but you have to click in the field in order to fill it out. it will still go to the next line like it should, but you have to click it before you can enter information. It doesnt do that on a regular computer or a surface. Is there a way to do this or will i have to add it to the acumatica app for it to work?  

Since an update from 2024 R2 207 to 2024 R2 208, backflushed material transactions are pulling material from the wrong location.  The component is lotted.  When there isn’t enough material on a single lot in the specified location to meet the requirement, the split transaction takes material from a location other than the one specified on the production order detail.We’ve opened a support case and it is with R&D.Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue.  It’s causing some major inventory issues.​@angierowley75 Thanks in advance,Laura 

I am used to seeing STD Unit cost details; Material, Labor, OH, Subcontract.  In Acumatica I am only seeing “Unit Cost”.  The issue I am finding is that for WO, Acumatica is showing Production variance detail, which is based on Production Quantity, not standard cost.  Therefore the posted variance break out is unknown as the variance is posted as one amount based on standard cost.If I can find the Std Unit cost details, we should be able to compare STD costs vs Actual Production costs. 

Is there a way or can it be added to see the Operation Description on the Clock Entry Screen (mobile app) instead of just a number..? We are using the clock entry on the mobile app for the employees in our shop, however since they just see Operation ID 10, 20, 30, etc. and not a description it is causing quite a bit of extra work on our managers to make sure their time is coded to the correct ID. Any suggestions welcome. 

Hi Acumatica,I created an Item for a Produce.There are multiple transactions and changes in Current Cost.Upon running the Cost Roll. There is a value in Pending Standard Costand click Update Pending. On the Stock Items Screen, the Pending Cost Updatedand Update Standard Costand the Current Cost is now Updated.

Does anyone know what happened to this on the 24R2 version? We just moved from 23R1 and its gone.   

Hi,Wondering if anyone knows how I can access the fields that contain the cost data of a BOM?I would like to access the fields inside the BOM Cost Summary popup, either via a generic inquiry, API endpoint, or even just a BQL statement, to use elsewhereAny help is much appreciated!!

Is there any functionality in Acumatica where you can enter a production order number and a list of child production orders are display and you can select which child production orders you want to process moves/completions on?This would be sort of like creating or printing production orders.

Hi all,We currently use core Acumatica as an our ERP and are moving to utilise the Manufacturing module. I’ve created all the cost drivers, the bill of materials, etc for our testing and the BOM calculated cost all matches our Manufacturing models, however, when we generate a sample Production Order against that same BOM it generates a difference in the Variable OH attached, and we can’t determine why.So, the BOM has a single operation with the following configuration:Setup Time: 00:00 Run Units: 384.00 Run Time: 01:00 (labour is backflushed) Machine Units: 1,978.710 Machine Time: 01:00 Queue Time: 00:00 Finish Time: 00:00 Move Time: 00:00 Ignoring Materials because the match the BOM Labour is attached via a shift at a Diff Type = Rate, and a rate of 44.690173/ hour. Overhead is attached via a single Overhead rate, which is variable by Machine Hours, has a factor of 1.

Hi Acumatica Community,May I ask if there is a setup of this field to make it automatic enabled upon creation of Production Order Maintenance?  Thank you!

In Acumatica Productionorder detail page we have add 2 custom column in UI. But we take 1 column in AMProdOper Extension we take 1 column which is Date Time. But not hide when Enable/disable my moduleIn DAC  In aspx  

I am working with a prospect and the existing system uses a kiosk to scan production order, work center, and start, then the do the same to scan stop.The prospect feels the time needed is excessive and want to understand how fast Acumatica can scan with a tethered scanner and on the app.

Hi Acumatica Community, I just want to ask if there is a setup for Data Collection, specific in Scan Move Screen. Here’s is scenario upon testing.Production Order - Qty to be Produced (20 Qty) and Tracked by Lot each I have a backflush for Materials and Labor Once the Production Order Maintenance is released I’ll go to Scan MoveUpon 1st scanning, it requires the followingProduction Nbr. Warehouse Location LotUpon 2nd up to 20th scanning, it requires the following      1. Production Nbr.      2.  Lot as you’ve noticed, it requires multiple scans for Production Nbr. Here’s my requirements.1. Production Order Nbr.2. Warehouse3. Location4. Qty (20 KG)5. Scan Lot (20 Lot Nbr.)   Hoping this process can cater in Scan Move functionality Thank

A parent BOM has been configured with input material which has a separate BOM both BOMs are active but when I create orders for subassembly, the orders are not generating. Currently using Acumatica build version 24.104.0008.

We are new to Acumatica and would like to know how to change a Non-Stock Item into a Stock item.  Have attempted to delete the item and re-enter but cannot delete due to the item stating it is in multiple tables.  Have changed the posting class and still cannot change the item to a stock item.  Have attempted to fix the issue via Bills of Materials to to avail.  Thanks in advance for any information you can provide to help correct the issue.

We are new to Acumatica and still in the learning stages and business processes.  We have used sales forecast in the past along with a production forecast.  How can we still use both and which one is best for our production dept to use?  We want the sales orders to pull from the forecast but not both.Looking for knowledge and how we can make this work.
