Acumatica Manufacturing

Multi-level BOM structures with revision control, effectivity dates, engineering change management, and phantom/sub-assembly support. Ensures production always uses the correct component specifications and quantities.

Net-change and regenerative MRP runs that calculate material needs from demand forecasts, production schedules, and current stock. Generates planned purchase and production orders with lead-time offsetting to prevent shortages.

Finite and infinite capacity scheduling with Gantt chart visualisation, bottleneck analysis, and what-if simulation. Helps planners balance workload across work centres while meeting delivery commitments.

Real-time work order tracking with operation-level time reporting, labour and machine data collection, and scrap/rework recording. Gives production managers visibility into WIP status and schedule adherence.

Connects ERP production orders to shop floor devices for automated data capture — machine OEE, cycle times, and quality checkpoints. Bridges the gap between planning and actual execution on the factory floor.

Rules-based configurator that lets sales or customers select product options, automatically generating the correct BOM, routing, and pricing. Essential for manufacturers offering customisable products without engineering every order.

Manages sending materials to external processors with PO generation, shipment tracking, receipt, and cost roll-up. Supports both full subcontracting and single-operation outside processing within a routing.

Standard, actual, and average cost calculations with material, labour, and overhead variance analysis. Tracks cost deviations by work order to identify process inefficiencies and maintain accurate inventory valuations.
