Manufacturing

Client is using the clock entry to record labor on production orders.  The calendar has specific break times noted.  It appears that the employee has to clock out for breaks.  What is the point of setting up these break times if they are not taken into account in clock entry?  This just adds another set of clock in and clock out for the employee. Am I missing a setting?  What are the break times used for?  Seems just informational on the calendar.  (client is not using MFG - APS Module) Any advice? 

ERROR received after Move on a Production order and picking “Close”.  Have to back out and pick “Completed” Production Order again to Close 

We have production orders set to ‘Preassign lot serial numbers.’ We can populate each one manually but it is extremely cumbersome.  I am trying to get the below result(base on full box qtys of 60) through an import scenarioThe import scenario functionality has this at the order level but there is no where to specific qty. At the line details level it looks like I would need to manually assign lot # and qty  At the end of the day we are looking for a non-manual way to serialize our full cases of product. I know there have been several product ideas around this but I am look for a practical solution, not to pray and wait.Has anyone implemented anything like this?

We’ve processed a shipment for the full line quantity but needed to only ship a partial.  The shipment is now in Confirmed status.  No invoice has been created as yet.  We tried the Correct Shipment link under the ellipses but get an error “The line cannot be deleted because it is linked to a purchase order.” (even though it is not linked to any purchase orders).   How do we correct it?  Thank you in advance

I am trying to create production orders from a sales order, but I keep getting this message:   Thank you

At the end of most months, we end up with move transactions that are stuck in the On Hold status because they’re related to production orders that are in the Completed status. How can we disallow the completion of a production order if it is related to a move transaction that is not in the Released status?

We have a few questions around assigning Non-Stock items as consumable items in the Bill of Materials and the related account entry generation.I have outlined the scenario below that we need to cover. Create BOM. Assign the Stock and Non-Stock items. The purpose of adding a Non-Stock item is to account for inventory consumable items that do not need to be maintained in stock.Create a Bill of Material and assign both a Stock Item and a Non-Stock Item under the Materials tab. Create a Production Order and release it. Issue the materials. I can see both stock and non-stock items here. It allowed me to release the Non-Stock item in the Materials Issue form. From what I understand, since we assigned this under the Materials tab, the system is treating this Non-Stock item as material. I could be wrong.  Material Item issued.  COA Account behaviour. The system now creates a credit balance in account 20131 (Liability account) and transfers it to the Balance Sheet.I need to clarify the question

How do you record scap qty when using MDC and the scanning screens for MFG?We don’t see anywhere to enter a scrap QTY.Example:Produciton order was for 10We made 7 good ones and 3 bad ones(Scrap).Where do I enter the bad (scrap) qty?Thanks! 

There is no history in transactions of the item showing anything bringing it to zero.  Is there a utility in Acumatica that I can run to recalculate the Average Cost of an item?

When I upload materials into a BOM using the Load Records from File button. I initially see the costs both unit cost and planned cost but when I hit save they get zeroed out.  I then have to run Cost Roll to fix it.  I can’t figure out the right steps to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to have to run cost roll every time we make a BOM. Anyone else use this process for making BOM’s?

How do all of you juggle manufacturing and shipments?    I came from a fully warehouse background and now supporting an on-site Manufacturing facility with a warehouse attached.  I am trying to optimize the existing location layout for most efficient processing without Shipping stealing from Production or vice versa. Raw material feeds to production most of the time, but could ship out.Production has different lines that do different processes and we step through the different stages.We also send finished goods back to Production for customization.The site had prioritized the finished goods storage locations the first priority, which works, until we get a return or sample order less than standard case quantity.  Second priority is Production drop locations for finished builds (saves time for allocation to allocate from the drop vs putting items away in finished goods storage to allocate).  Picking is by a standard pack (case) quantity.  If we have a partial in finished goods, it would

I am trying to see how much labor is required for producing Items but I keep running into issues with how  qty to produce for each operation ID is calculated.From what I have seen it is setting it to be always equal to the qty of the Inventory ID you are trying to make. Shouldn’t it be equal the the quantity needed in the BOM times the qty of the inventory ID?The materials seem to get calculated correctly and lists the total qty of the subparts under each operation ID correctly. Anyone else run into this?I have attached an example Production order with the first step being one that should have made a qty of 3.  

While working in the Inventory Planning Display, I noticed the Group Nbr. column when generating a Purchase Order. The screen lets you assign a different Group Nbr. to each line, but when I run the process, I still only get one PO (as long as the vendor is the same).My questions: What is the intended purpose of the Group Nbr. field in this context? Should assigning different numbers automatically split the lines into separate POs? Or is this field just informational unless you have specific consolidation settings or customizations in place? In my setup, Purchase Order Preferences and Inventory Preferences don’t have any options related to consolidation or grouping by Group Nbr., and in Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) I don’t see a “Group by Group Nbr.” option either.Has anyone successfully used this field to create multiple POs? If so, how is it configured?Thanks in advance!Varun Ram

Hello All,I'm looking to generate a production order packet (or traveler) that can move with the job through each stage of the BOM routing. The goal is to have it updated or marked as complete at each production area as that part of the routing is finished. Has anyone found a specific screen, tool, or method that works well for this in your company?Thanks,Heather

I have found some - by looking at GLTran, I have found all the labor, OH and WIP adjustments transactions.However, material issued and finished quantity are posted by Inventory ID, not by WO.I reviewed events for the WO - there is not event for finished goods.I went to the FG part and reviewed history and found the transaction and looked at the GL trans.  It doesn't reference the WO.  But I can not do that for O/S, as that is a non-stock inventory item.

Hello,Is there any current functionality that allows for item substitution on a PO?

Please see below screenshot: I verified the $354.21 operation MFG to Inventory is the summary of material $270.01 and labor $84.20. but how can I see the list of $354.21, is there a way to run a list what “operation MFG to Inventory” is made of? Thanks 

Good day,We are having a quite an issue with BOM/Production Order unit cost converting correctly. EA to SQIN“Originally the SQIN converting numbers was incorrect.  Based on prior issues, the below corrected the issues since the PR determines the unit cost.  We use FIFO. We did the below to correct the situation.So far, we have adjusted the Stock items to correct SQIN converting amount.  Did an adjustment removing the inventory for these items down zero and then did a receipt for the quantity in EACH to bring them back into inventory at the unit cost.  Recreated the BOM (using the copy command) and still the unit cost is showing the EA unit cost where it should show the SQIN unit cost.  The production orders material totals are eating up the inventory and out whack.  We can’t change the unit cost on the production order to match the BOM (not why that is not allowed).  Everything lines ups to expect the BOM/Production process is in sync.I am at a lost for next steps.  Any assistance.  I

Hello,Very new to Acumatica, so all apologies now :).  I created my codes as you can see below.  How do I make them now go into effect?  I see Update ABC Code but I can only see that by month.  I want every stock items to be assigned a A, B, or C based off it’s avg BOH dollar amount for lets say over the last year.   

Good day,I want to update the BOM Warehouse.  Some of my BOMs are missing the Warehouse.The item warehouse details are correct with the default BOM.  We are using 2023R2Thank you.Evan   

Hi All, Just exploring the Capable to Promise Functionality.While looking at the screen it seems that the system can do this for all Sales order Types if the Item is a CTP Item.When creating a SO and a QT for the same item, only the SO Order Type shows up as available for Processing. Does anyone know if only certain Order Types are eligible for this?Not quite sure why the Quote would not be available when that is the most common stage needing a Date for the Customer.

Does anyone have operations that require direct labor cells(more than one operator working together on an operation together)If I have an order for 200 units, each operator is recording 100 units in their clock entry. The math is straight forward on the surface, but when the unit is a 6 pack and they only finish a partial order do to the end of the shift the math get complicated very quickly and we are doing lots of corrections to clock entrys.I know one alternative is to have one person scan the full qty and the other ‘0’ but then we lose sight of productivity numbers.How are people handling this? Are there any good 3rd party integrations for this?Customizations, people have in place?

Hi all,We are using Acumatica version, Acumatica Cloud ERP 2025 R1 (Build 25.101.0153.1 +), and we have created multi-layer BOMs and created sales orders.When trying to create production orders from sales order screen or from create production orders screen the following error occurs.Quote>“Error: Updating  'Production Item' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors. Error: 'Start Date' cannot be empty. “ Please find the below screen shots for your reference.Bill of MaterialRelevant Sales OrderWe have checked the data in sales order preferences and BOM preferences as well, but unable to see a reason for this error.Did anyone encounter this issue?Your insights are highly appreciated to resolve this issue. Thanks,Chameera. 

Hello community,I’m working on enhancing our use of Rough Cut Planning in Acumatica Manufacturing and wanted to share my setup, the process I’m following, and a key question about how scheduling handles material availability.🔧 Setup We are using Rough Cut Planning to schedule and manage production orders. Items in our BOM are flagged with Check Material Availability. Components can be a mix of: Purchased materials (with confirmed promise dates on POs). Manufactured materials (supplied from other production orders). ▶ Process From Rough Cut Planning, we run the Schedule action on a group of production orders. The system assigns start and finish dates based on constraint dates, resource availability, and current setup. For items with Check Material Availability, I expect scheduling to respect: Promise dates from purchase orders for purchased components. Finish dates of sub-production orders for manufactured components. ❓ My QuestionWhen the product is set up to

We are up to date and using 2025 R1. We were told originally that Multi Clock would be coming to the mobile workspace in 2025 R1. Is there a way to get Mobile workspace to have Multi Clock or is this not functioning yet?
