Ok... This is strange...

I tried entering purchase orders for Demo Company (ie. Demo Data). For Demo Company, the reference numbers are auto-generated.

But for the company I created, the reference numbers are NOT auto-generated. The reference number field has an initial value of blank.

Is there some option to enable/disable auto-generation of reference numbers? I looked into company setup and preferences but I couldn't find any such option. Have I missed something during company creation and setup?

I'm quite sure this has been discussed before.

Reference numbers for purchase orders, receipts, sales invoice etc can be auto-generated instead of being manually entry fields. Of course, supplier reference number needs to be a manual entry field.

Is auto-generation of reference numbers planned for development ? It would add some convenience, I believe.

Thanks for the tip. I was able to successfully negate a receival using the method you suggested. I noticed that the related purchase order line is also removed when using this method.

I don't know how complicated this might be but it would be nice if the purchase order lines are not deleted and the purchase order goes to the original state of 'order given, not yet received'.

I've been trying to void a purchase order delivery but the system shows an error saying the transaction does not exist or cannot be voided. Is it not possible to void deliveries or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks in advance!

itronics, I think you've misunderstood my post.

Let me try to convey my point in a different way.

(FYI, I am using advanced manufacturing process.)

The 'Inventory Item Movement' page shows the table 'stock_moves' filtered by 'stock_move.stock_id'. The 'Type' field rendered in the page is directly related to 'stock_moves.type', if I am correct.

I noticed that the 'stock_moves.type' and 'stock_moves.trans_no' fields refer to a work order in case of non-manufactured items but they refer to a work order production in case of manufactured items.

I think it should be possible to update these fields with the work order production number/work order issue number instead of work order number. I think a row is added in the stock_moves table whenever a production or issue is processed. At this time the production number or issue number needs to be entered instead of work order number.

Ofcourse, these fields should refer to the work order number in case of assembly manufacturing as there will be no productions involved.

Hope I've made my point clear and hope there's a possible solution. smile

The inventory item movement page does NOT show work order production transaction number for non-manufactured items (ie. raw material in the case of advanced manufacturing). Instead, only the work order transaction number is shown. For manufactured items though, the work order production transaction number is shown.

Tracking inventory transactions would be easier if work order production transactions are shown for both manufactured and non-manufactured items. At the moment it's quite hard to track which production the raw material was used for as only the work order number is shown.

Please let me know if the addition of this feature is possible. It would be a nice feature to have because the inventory item movement page is a very useful tool for tracking item utilization.

Ok. How can I recover the raw material that went into the voided production ? The raw material inventory shows that 50 units were used for the voided production. How can I recover this material so that I can use it for another production ?

Also, I had not issued any material. The material that was consumed for the voided production was derived by the system from the BOM.

Right now in FA, voiding a production is like the equivalent of destroying the end product. I think it would be better if voiding a production will result in reversal of quantities of both raw material and end product. This way it would be easier to correct productions that were processed/closed by mistake.

When voiding a work order production only the QoH of the finished product reverted. The QoH of the raw material is unaffected by the voiding.

Eg: I run production2 for 100 items and check inventory item movement. QoH of finished product increases by 100 and QoH of two raw materials decrease by 50 each.

Now I void production2 and check the inventory item movement. The QoH of finished item decreases by 100 to return to its original quantity but QoH of the two raw materials are unaffected and are NOT increased by 50 each.

Is there some logic behind voiding in this fashion or is this a bug ?

Thanks for your replies itronics and joe!

I have set the thousands seperator as ',' and the decimal seperator as '.' and I am using release 2.2.6.

I noticed now that the issue mentioned happens only when I edit the 'quantity' field in the 'Produce' form.

There's one more thing I have noticed - I have a work order for 5000 items and when I edit the quantity field to '2000' and press the 'process' button, the value in the quantity field momentarily changes to '2,000'. And the number of items manufactured is recorded as '2'. Things work correctly when I leave the quantity field untouched, as in - when I have a work order for 5000 items and the quantity field defaults to '5000' and I click the 'process' button without editing the quantity field, the value in the quantity field is NOT changed momentarily to '5,000' and the items manufactured is correctly updated as '5000'.

I get a feeling that this is could be a bug. Please advice!

I have an advanced manufacturing work order for 5000 items and when I try to produce more than 1000 items only 1 item is produced. But any quantity upto 999 is produced correctly.

I also noticed that for any quantity of items above 1000 only a thousandth of it produced ie. 4 items produced when 4000 items entered, 3 items produced when 3000 items entered.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks in front for your assistance!
