Multiple Customizations In Menu

K2022.1.33 with Classic Screens Epicor Kinetic has started changing the customization level of all occurrences of an Epicor screen, when we update any one of them.  For example, I change the customization of the Order Entry in Sales Management / Order Management / General Operations, and it also changes the other occurrences of Order Entry in the menu.  First of all, HUGE time saver vs. the old method of finding all the occurrences and changing each one.  But if I have a group of people who still need the old screen, how can I change the customization level of one without changing them all?  Thanks!

Inspection Plan Format in 2023.1 Data Collection

We are in the process of testing 2023.1 with plans to upgrade our production environment in February. Today we tested inspection plans and found a problem with the way the Enter Results screen is formatting in Data Collection.Here is what the inspection plan Enter Results looks like for Final Inspection in Pilot 2023.1 Data Collection – a horizontal row (a very long row) image817×181 6.78 KB Here is an example what the inspection plan looks like in 2023.1 Inspection Plan Configurator Test Inputs. This is also what it looks like in Production 2021.2.5 Data Collection. This is happening to all inpsection plans ans is not acceptable since the inspection text is missing. Does anyone know how we can get it to look like this in 2023.1 Data Collection? I do not seem to be able to locate whatever setting is controlling this. image817×750 52.2 KB

Maximize Use of Epicor 10...?

Small manufacturing company using Epicor 10.  I am being asked by upper management on ways we can fully utilize the power of Epicor 10.  The thought is that we are not using it to its full potential.In order to answer that question, I would first think that I would need to have someone identify all current pain points, and then address those pain points using a solution in Epicor.I have very limited experience with Epicor, and just looking for some input/guidance on how to handle answering such a question. I know this is a broad and general question, but any input/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,Has anyone got any experience with Bartender and network printing?

MRP Creating Duplicate Jobs - Latest Release (2023.2.6)

We upgraded to the latest release (2023.2.6) on December 10. Since then, we have seen MRP create duplicate jobs that are linked to closed jobs and closed sales orders. This is creating false, duplicate demand in PO Suggestions. We have not changed business processes or data and did not have this issue prior to the upgrade. Is anyone else seeing MRP create duplicate demand linked to closed (not completed) job orders?

Standard Cost Calculation

We have recently upgraded to Kinetic 2022.2 from Epicor 10.1.After the upgrade we have noticed that the Standard Cost Rollup Calculation has changed. This is affecting nearly all of our parts, some with dramatic changes of Standard Cost. This issue appears to be related to how Setup Costs from lower-level items are treated.  Support agree that the code has changed in Kinetic 2022.Is this giving any others problems, or are we alone in this argument?

"No Matching Constructor Found" Error on Data Directive

I just had a weird thing happen and I’m not finding the error message; maybe I’m the first ever to see it?  Attempting to save a data directive, I get this message:No matching constructor found on type 'System.String'. You can use the Arguments or FactoryMethod directives to construct this type.It turned out that in an embedded query, I had a table criterion that a field must be “IN” a value list, and one of the listed values was left blank.  I deleted it and the directive saved with no issue.HTH

Sales Orders - blanket orders, last release

I’m trying to figure out a process for a new product that we might sell on a subscription basis. The product has a short expiration date so we were thinking of an annual subscription with monthly shipments.In our brainstorming session we came up with the thought that it would be nice to notify the customer that their last shipment was just made.One idea was an email notification. I’m thinking of a BAQ/Dashboard that looks for the PartNum and closed orders with a release shipped in the last week (or maybe use a date selector). We could grab the email address from the Customer record and email them.  Another idea was to put a flyer in the shipping box. But how does shipping know this is the last shipment on that order? Any other ideas? We’d be in Kinetic when this starts.

Create three unique parts from one material via a sub-contract operation

We have a situation where we create part A that is cut and machined then sent out of house to be cut into six pieces creating three unique parts B, C, & D with a quantity of 2 each.  Parts B & C are further processed to make parts E & F.  Part D is combined with the parts E & F to create part G that goes onto be machined to make the final part H.  We have setup parts E, F, & D as co-parts with Lot Sizing Multiple at 2 since Part A yields two of each part.  Parts E & F only require 1 of each part B & C and part G only requires 1 of Part D.  We do not have any operations on the job at this point only material.  We run MRP and it generates three job suggestions for parts B, C, & D for a quantity of 2 each.  MRP also creates job suggestions for parts E, F, & G for a quantity of 1 each.  MRP is doing what we want by suggesting making two of each part, supplying 1 of each to the latter job, and stocking the other ones.  We are wondering if there is a way t

REST Access Scope and BAQs

I’m having some trouble setting up an access scope that allows us to limited access to just a select list of BAQs through the REST API.  Are there any services and methods I need to explicitly add to the access scope to be able to execute these basic BAQs?When using an account this access scope is applied to, I am unable to search or access any BAQs.  If I remove the access scope, then I can search for and execute any shared BAQ available to the company I am in.

Credit Cards (PayPal) and Kinetic

We are currently on 10.1.400.38 and using Credit Card Processing through PayPal.As we test Kinetic SaaS for go live in the spring, it’s time to work on Credit Card Processing. I have a few issuesI’m in Credit Card Configuration and don’t see the Pay Flow Pro via SDM option on the dropdown for Gateway. When we initially testing Epicor 10.1.400 back in 2016, we had to change a config file on our server to indicate that we were in a test environment and then change it back at go live. How do we do that if we are SaaS? Can someone who has been through testing credit card processing in Kinetic SaaS give me some insight into how to get setup for testing?

Parts auto fill warehouse they ship from?

Is there a way for Sales Order Entry to automatically pull/enter the correct warehouse a part ships from?Example: Site A produces a part, but Site B ships it out.We would like to see if it is possible that when a part is selected in Sales order entry, that the system automatically enters/pulls the correct site to ship from, in this case it would enter the ship from address of Site B (vs Site A where its produced).Is there something already in Kinetic to accomplish this, or would this be a BPM or customization behind the scenes?Thank you for any guidance you can provide.have a great day.

Epicor Asset Management Experience

We are working with Epicor on evaluating the Asset Management module. Our accounting team was looking for a reference from Epicor to discuss their use of Asset Management. Would anyone be willing to have a 30 minute call with our accounting team, or be willing to give a brief overview of their experience with Asset Management?

Refresh Kinetic Dashboard on a Timer

We have recently upgraded to Kinetic from Epicor 10.1. We have a lot of Dashboards that refresh on a timer. Although I can run the upgraded kinetic dashboards, they don’t run a timer. I have been told that with application studio, I should be able to add a dashboard-timer-set event. How would I use this to refresh a dashboard every 10 seconds? I can’t find this in any or the Application Studio user guides.

MS Odata Client Generator

Hello,this is my first post, so bear with me if I did miss any topic related to my issue.A while ago I created c# console application that would create odata clients for every endpoint automatically, using Microsofts odata CLI tool. While this works like a charm for all methods that are labeled “odata” in the epicor api help, the RPC methods lack the parameters and I was wondering if there is any way I could force epicor to give me the parameters in it’s metadata. This is the method definition I get for LaborSvc.StartActivity e.g.:<!-- /{currentCompany}/Erp.BO.LaborSvc/$metadata --> <Action Name="StartActivity"> <Annotation Term="Org.OData.Core.V1.Description" String="Method to call to start an activity in Shop Floor." /> </Action>As you can see, all parameters are omitted. The generated code does not allow me to set any.Is anyone else in experienced in using the odata client cli?

Moving inventory in-between operations to warehouse

Hello all, We are trying to find a solution for parts that are in process but need to be moved to the warehouse between operational steps. Most of the times we have to wait a few days/weeks after completing an operation before beginning the next operation. This is due to machine availability. In our current process we use a 3rd party system that creates a part number outside of Epicor. We then can use this part number to move inventory to and around the warehouse and the next operation when needed. We are also able to use the 3rd party system to check inventory quantity. We are hoping to use only Epicor moving forward. We have a mix of make to order and make to stock jobs. We have looked at using WIP transaction history tracker, but have run into some issues with this as we cannot see quantities of all partially completed jobs in WIP and in stock at the same time. With make to stock, the issue is, Epicor does not issue a lot number till the final operation. We can have multiple lots in

Application Server not holding SSL Cert

I am trying to install an application server for Kinetic 2023 for a test environment.  I had it working locally on the server, but then removed it due to some issues.  Now I’m trying to set it up again.When I assign the SSL cert to the Kinetic server, I can initiate the ping but once I click the Apply or OK button, it does not hold the SSL cert.If I try to add an application server or register an existing one, it gives an error:This IIS web server needs to have SSL setup before administering Kinetic application servers.  Open the server properties dialog and check the SSL Certificate settings.If I go back to the Server Managment, the SSL cert box is empty.Has anyone encountered this issue?

Loading a BAQ in expanded view

Hi Guys, We have a BAQ in our pilot system called transport board which our implementation consultant has built. The BAQ is a list of all sales orders waiting to be shipped (and lots more but i won’t go into that) We need it to load in a particular way when opened – grouped by date and then by customer but expanded and not collapsed as the screenshot shows below. Any ideas how to do it?   It should load these all open by date and then by customer – expanded (there could be 40/50 rows or more so you wouldn’t want to click through each one to open up but it needs to be in grouped view)
