Yes you should be able to click UNFINISH from SO and finish it again however it doesn’t automatically update production order with the changes. I personally think it should not be automatic unless there is a process/warning to update production order with changes in SO configuration entry. You can however do workaround to go to production order that is linked to the SO, click Configure, click UNFINISH, then FINISH. That process will push the new changes made in SO into the production order. You probably can use Business Event to identify if there is difference between configuration in SO vs in Production Order in terms of features and options selected. Alternatively, use Configuration Key (so each time you finish configuration entry it generates config key) and make sure the changes made in configuration also change the configuration key.
You can use Labor transaction that allows you select employee ID. Labor is mainly used to report labor time (hence you need to enter time on it) but when you specify quantity in the transaction it will also act as Move - update operation’s completed quantity. Labor with quantity is the same as Move. If you are not allocating labor cost because time has to be entered, you can set zero standard cost in work center.
The child order will be linked to parent order. The only order that is linked to SO is the parent order. Linked order is not printed in standard productionticket but you can customize it as well.
You can mark the custom components as Marked for Production (tab Manufacturing in Stock Item) and none for the standard ones. Then use Create Production Orders processing page to create production order only for those marked for production and use MRP to create plan order for the rest.
Hi, most of our customers use MRP and I never see them use Critical Material for daily planning. MRP tries to balance quantity between demand such as SO, production order, forecast, etc vs supply from purchase order, production order, on hand, other warehouse. It gives you big pictures. Through Exception, it helps you to evaluate your supply side (before making another supply via MRP Display) whether purchase order and production orders are late, not required, needs to be expedited, etc.However when you generate child production order via MRP, there is no link established because MRP. At this stage, MRP seems to be designed to only look at quantity for planning (demand vs supply) not establishing link between parent and children. I assume when you need link you plan to allocate the finished item in the children order to its parent, cannot be used in other order. Also it looks like it’s a make to order type of item, not standard item you can simply take from stock. If this is the case y
Hi,We typically set an item as MTO if by default the item is made when there is an order not taking from stock. Hence, Auto Create Linked Order should be fine as it establish link between parent and children. Children production order is only generated for manufactured item not standard component (assuming standard component is not manufactured item). Standard component is seen as material, to be consumed in production order. Alternatively you can use default option for the item (Dlft Mark For option in Stock Items tab manufacturing to maintain link between parent and children.Though, I hope in the future MRP maintains the reference number when production order is generated from MRP.
Hi Donna,If you refer to stock historical transaction you can see Inventory Transaction History inquiry to find the usage. If you refer to dead stock functionality that would be available in 2021R1.
Thank you!
Hi Evan,You just need to bring those BOMs into spreadsheet template provided in Acumatica instance. You don’t need to specify their level because an assembly could be at any level depending on what parent items you manufacture. If an assembly has multiple active revisions you can specify the BOM ID and its revision ID in the Material line of its parent BOM to pick up the correct BOM when creating production order.With regard to outside processing you could add a non-stock into the BOM and select type Subcontract in the Material Type and and source Purchase. This setup will separate cost bucket for the outside processing. Later in the process you can link the PO to production order. With BOM, you can run Cost Roll to calculate the cost to manufacturing item that include/roll up the cost of subassembly. You can then use this as standard cost for your item.
Hi Jeff, I usually not enabling too many columns to be included in quick search. The quick search algorithm will ignore the values for the columns whose this box cleared. Try if this improves.
