Receiving on a PO generated from the Critical Material Screen

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.

​@kamjmoore07 You can set up a Business Event that triggers when a Purchase Receipt is completed for production demand items. Using a Generic Inquiry along with a Business Event and an Import Scenario, you can automatically issue the materials when the Purchase Receipt is completed for a production demand item.

I hope thing might solve you real time inventory issue.

​@kamjmoore07 In Acumatica, the Purchase Receipt must be created first, and the received items are then allocated to the Production Order. Since the Production Order materials set to backflush, there is no need to perform a separate Material Issue transaction on the production side. The material will be automatically backflushed when the user performs a Move transaction for the operation.

In short, once the Purchase Receipt is completed, the material issue is handled automatically during the Move transaction.

    Thank you. The only problem that we’ll have is that we do weekly inventory counts in our warehouse. If we set the items to backflush, then we may have inflated numbers on our count if the items are consumed on the floor but not reflected in the system. This may require a process change for us on how we build production orders.
