Production Operations

Plan and monitor production orders, work centers, labor, materials, outside processes, and shop floor activity. Operators issue materials, capture lot and serial attributes, and correct production data without leaving the Shop Floor Kiosk, while mobile data collection, dashboards, and automated workflows help teams respond to production issues sooner.

Manufacturing Leaders

Monitor throughput, production costs, inventory, work in process, margins, delivery performance, and resource utilization through role-based dashboards. Alerts and Business Events help managers identify exceptions that require attention. Ask AI Assistant which orders are trending late, which released orders are most at risk, and what materials need to be staged, without assembling answers from separate reports.

Product Design

Connect engineering and production using bills of material, routings, recipes, formulas, revisions, engineering change control, estimates, product configuration, and CAD or PLM integrations. Maintain accurate product definitions as products move from design into production.

Back Office and Sales

Connect estimates, CRM, sales orders, capable-to-promise calculations, production, fulfillment, and billing. Shared information helps sales and administrative teams communicate realistic delivery expectations and follow orders from quote through payment.

Plan and control production from BOM to completion

Bills of Material, Recipes, and Formulas

Create and maintain bills of material, routings, recipes, and formulas while connecting product design with production. Discrete manufacturers can integrate engineering and production with the native PTC Arena Connector and marketplace CAD connectors. Design custom products with Manufacturing Estimates or the rules-based Product Configurator, ensuring accurate product definitions. Food, beverage, and chemical manufacturers manage recipes and formulas with the robust Process Manufacturing Suite. Streamline BOM and formula revisions using Engineering Change Control featuring configurable approval workflows.

Production Management

Schedule around real capacity with Advanced Planning and Scheduling, combining finite and infinite capacity planning within a single production order and planning against the calendars, shifts, and efficiencies your shop actually runs on. Automate labor, material, and move transactions with the Shop Floor Kiosk — where operators can issue materials to the operation, add substitutes, capture lot and serial attributes, and make corrections on the spot; or with the mobile Manufacturing Data Collection app. You’ll gain complete visibility into all shop floor activities and outside process transactions, making it easier to manage resources, track progress in real time, and boost operational efficiency from order to completion. Project-centric manufacturers can provision project materials with production orders and track manufacturing progress from the project with Acumatica’s native Project Accounting app.

Supply Chain Management

Plan materials, purchasing, and production supply

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

Use Material Requirements Planning to compare demand with available inventory, planned supply, production requirements, purchase orders, and transfers. Generate time-phased recommendations that help planners determine what materials are needed, in what quantities, and when. Plan safety stock and reorder points the way each item actually moves — a safety stock buffer kept out of available-to-plan, or a reorder point that orders up to a maximum level.

Purchase Order Management

Foster vendor relations with advanced purchase order features including blanket orders and AP automation powered by artificial intelligence. Simplify sourcing for one-off items with Requisition Management including vendor bidding.

FAQ

What is Manufacturing Management Software?

Manufacturing Management Software helps businesses plan, execute, monitor, and improve production. It can support product definitions, bills of material, routings, material planning, scheduling, production orders, shop floor activity, inventory coordination, costing, quality processes, and manufacturing reporting.

Which production workflows can Acumatica manage?

Acumatica supports product design, estimating, bills of material, routings, recipes, formulas, material requirements planning, capacity scheduling, production orders, engineering changes, shop floor data collection, outside processing, costing, inventory, purchasing, and fulfillment.

How can Acumatica help with production planning and scheduling?

Acumatica connects demand, material requirements, work-center capacity, production orders, and schedules. MRP provides time-phased recommendations for production, purchasing, and inventory transfers, while APS schedules production orders forward or backward using finite or infinite logic — even within a single production order — against production calendars, shifts, breaks, holidays, and efficiencies.

Can I ask AI questions about my production?

Yes. AI Assistant uses manufacturing generic inquiries to answer questions about schedule performance, material needs by production order, production order risk, and production orders by build capability.

Can Acumatica manage BOMs and shop floor activity?

Yes. Acumatica supports bills of material, routings, revisions, engineering changes, production orders, labor and material transactions, and shop floor data collection. These capabilities help connect product design, planning, and production execution.

How does Acumatica connect production with inventory and costing?

Production activity can update material usage, labor, work in process, completed inventory, production costs, and variances. Connecting these records helps teams compare plans with actual production activity without reconciling separate systems manually.

What manufacturing data can teams monitor?

Teams can monitor production-order status, material availability, work-center schedules, labor and machine activity, work in process, estimated and actual costs, inventory, throughput, and delivery performance. Available dashboards, inquiries, alerts, and reports depend on system configuration.
