Demand forecasting and inventory optimization solution

We’re considering implementing a demand planning and inventory optimization solution. We started looking into it after a sales call from LeanDNA. I know that Smart Software is an Epicor partner with a similar solution. Does anyone have experience with either or these or other solutions and have any feedback you can share?

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?

Engineering Workbench is Slow

Hello,We are running 10.2.500.15 and the Engineering Workbench is very slow.  I am updating a BOM by changing the quantity/per on components and every time we update the qty the system pauses to think for 10-20 seconds before registering the change.This is on a new ECO group with only one BOM checked out at the time.  Has anyone else experienced this or know what is causing it? Much appreciated!

How do you get GLPOSTED field to show true in InvcHead

Hi all,I am trying to pull some AR invoice information into XL Connect.  I only want to pull invoices posted to the General Ledger.  In XL Connect I am using the AR Invoice Summary by Invoice Date; I can return the invoice amount if I use GLPOSTED = YES but if I use Posted = Yes (I tried TRUE also), I get no results (or = $0).  When I run a BAQ on InvcHead, I have invoices that show true as posted but not GL posted.  How to get them both to show as posted?  I tried by closing the period in Epicor and changing the earliest apply.  Here is the BAQ results Does anyone how to use posted in XL Connect or how to get the GLposted = True for posted records? Thank you in advance.

manifest upgrade to quickship

We are  currently running Manifest V4 and are interested in taking advantage of a feature that is available in Quick Ship 5.4.  Does quick ship have any deficiencies relative to Manifest that we should be aware of before making the upgrade?

Inventory Management - Point of Use Default Bin

Is there a way to designate a primary bin for backflushing materials off of a job (at point of use), separate from the primary bin that is designated to receive product into the warehouse for storage?

Kinetic UI Layers removed from Menu

We have just been testing our Major Update process to move our test environment from 2021.X to 2022.2.X and have noticed that any UI layers that we have created have been removed from the Kinetic Customisation field in the Menu Maintenance screen and we are having to redeploy them. Has anyone else seen this or have we done something wrong?

uBAQ Transaction Scope Erroring Out Due To No .NET 6

If you have a BPM which includes CreateDefaultTransactionScope(), and you’re running Kinetic 2022.1.1 or after, you may see this error:The type 'TransactionScope' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Transactions.Local'Then when you dutifully click Assembly References, you’ll find there’s no such thing as the one Epicor is telling you to add!  It turns out you can just download the .NET 6 runtime, install it, restart Kinetic, and you’re back to developing!HTH...Monty.

What User Manual For Purchase Planning?

K2022.1 Multi-company, Multi-site, classic screens.In what Epicor manual can I find a method for deriving the part planning numbers for purchased items, in order to have the most accurately timed PO suggestions?  These parameters include:Min, max, safety, Re-Order to Max Min Order Qty Lead Time (can be overridden in Supplier Price List) Planning Time Fence, Reschedule Out Delta, Reschedule In Delta Multiple, Min Lot Size, Max Lot Size, Days of Supply Start Min Lot Qty Lead Time (again?) Min Start Qty Horizon Days, Min Lot Size, Max Lot Size, Days of Supply (Short Horizon)I’m not asking for field documentation on these fields, but instead an Epicor manual that documents what calculations we should do, on order to calculate the fields above.Thanks,...Monty.

Error saving VendPart record - "Cannot override a stocking unit of measure"

We need to change the Base Unit Price for one of our purchased parts in Supplier Price List, but when we try to save the record it throws this error. The Supplier UOM in the VendPart record is the same as on the Part record, so what is it trying to override?

Backflush to an SMI bin?

10.2.200All, I have a question on which I have NOT been able to find any info. We have a purchased part used in an operation that is marked as Backflush, with a primary bin and warehouse. The part is also marked as Backflush. The primary bin on this part is an SMI however. The part is not backflushing when the operation is complete, even with enough quantity for the operation. Can you backflush from an SMI bin or not?

Anyone using RoHS module?

We are evaluating the RoHS module for use at our company, mainly to track compliance of parts being purchased and used in our products. We’ve set up a test part with a restriction type and a substance, then ran the part compliance process wide open. I then ran the part compliance report for one of the upper level parts using the purchased part in it’s BOM, but got zero results. The compliance report should list the BOM for the upper level part, shouldn’t it? I think we just need some general help in setup of this module. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UD Fields Without _c (underscore-C) In The Name

10.2.700 I notice that in my live database which was upgraded from 9.05 to 10.1 then upgraded again to 10.2, we have many custom field names (UD fields) which do NOT end in _c which is the default protocol for field naming in E10.  The other day I tried to create one of these fields, and UD Column Maintenance kept changing it back to the name with _c on the end. I think back in 10.0 or 10.1 we were able to remove the _c and have it stick.  Has Epicor changed this software so it’s no longer allowed?  Has anyone found a way to create custom fields in 10.2 without the _c on the end? I do understand that the purpose is to avoid naming collisions, and I’m interested in understanding whether it’s possible, not whether we should do it. Thanks much...Monty.

Screen Customisations in Kinetic

We have had a screen customisation done with a BPM behind it on ‘Part’ for instance and rather than adding the customisation through the menu option like we have done before in E9 we had had to have new menu options created? I would like to understand why this has to happen this way as potentially if you are having to create new menu options to replace existing ones, it could be a lot of extra maintenance when you further customise the screens whereas in E9 you just update the existing customisation.

Add gross weight to materials on Job Traveler

I am looking to add the weight to the materials on the Job Traveler.   I am trying to create a relationship from the Part Material List to the Part Master table and use the gross weight.   How ever since the material is a sub report on the Job Traveler report I am not getting the correct relationships to show up.   Has anyone added the weights on the materials sub report?  Can anyone assist with getting that relationship setup? Thanks for your thoughts!

Epicor BAQ Tile Issue

We’ve finally started utilising the BAQ tile functionality that appeared in E10.They’re very useful for displaying simple exception BAQs that are refreshed on a regular basis but recently the formatting of the tiles has started to get messy.The BAQs display simple queries containing a limited number of fields to ensure the data does not wrap.I’m finding that occasionally the tiles are displaying both horizontal data as well as vertical data in the same tile which is most frustrating.We’re using 10.1.400.20.I’ve attached a screen grab of the type of issue I’m experiencing.If anyone is aware of any bugs or work-arounds i’d love to hear.CheersMartin

Exchange virus

We are victims of the out break of the exchange virus. We host our email on our own exchange server and most of our server programs are in the 2014 versions. Our IT service notified us of the breach on on Tuesday March 16 and we planned to upgrade exchange in order to be able to apply the remedy from Microsoft. On Friday March 19th no one could log into our servers.  We had to create a new domain but were not confident in restoring any back ups for fear of reintroducing the virus. We replaced all of our workstations instead of reformatting hard drives and reinstalling windows. In several days were able to move email to office 365 cloud and get that back. It took a full week to rebuild and restore Epicor. We still don’t have APM and any emails prior  to the crash. We are a small company 40 employees with 15 Epicor users.  The cost of restoration right now is about $37,000. I hope my  data policy in my liability insurance policy covers  most of it but I think there will be some battles.
