"Quantity in Inspection

We are trying to make a change to some parts (specifically to add/remove lot tracking). I am unable to toggle the “lot tracked” check box because I receive an error saying there is a quantity in inspection.  (100.2.200.37)There are no parts (at all) in inspection. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karen

Enabling Manufacturing Cost Elements for Job-to-Job Links Only

Does anyone know of a way to maintain manufacturing cost elements (i.e. use the functionality enabled when “Enable Mfg Cost Elements” is checked) in one scenario, while using the default job costing method in all other scenarios? Essentially, we need to maintain the split-out cost elements if we manufacture a part to directly fulfill a material line on another job using a direct job-to-job demand link.  We’ll use the cost elements to pass along labor cost from one job to a separate job that isn’t ready to engineer yet.  But otherwise, if we issue a part from inventory, we want the cost of that part to be categorized as material cost only (even if that part has been previously manufactured on a make-to-stock job in the past).  We’ve checked with consultants and even tried using separate project groups so we could tie the product group to separate GL accounts.  As far as we can tell, Mfg Cost Elements are an all-or-nothing commitment (at least at the company level).  If anyone has any cr

Rebates on total customer spend

We want to set up customer rebates but on total spend across the year, and with breaks, eg if customer X spends £100,000 they get 0.5% rebate, if they spend £200,000 they get 1% etc….. we do not appear to be able to do this? It seems necessary to allocate spend levels by product group rather than total spend…. has anyone found a way around this, or is it possible on a newer version? We are on 10.2.1Thanks

BAQ Criteria by user

Hello, I am looking into a BAQ where I would like the criteria to be based on a user’s name.For example: I run the BAQ and the parameters asks for first name. When I enter my name, it will run with a specific set of criteria, but when user B enters their name, the criteria will change.Also, the criteria is a criteria set. Based on the user, several filters will need to apply. Is this possible?Thanks!Arno

Lot document linking - where are the links stored in the tables?

You know how you can link a document to an Epicor lot record, right?En masse, I need to figure out which lots have linked documents. Erp.DocType isn’t a valid table in SQL (see below) and Erp.PartLot.ShipDocAvail doesn’t get me what I need. Field help didn’t.Any ideas folks?List of tables containing ‘doctype’.

Barcoding and Devices

Question, We are looking at implementing Barcoding on the Job Routers etc.   I am looking for some suggestions and experiences with what model and type of equipment you are using.  For example we are looking at putting some stationary readers at work cells for scanning in job / assembly / op;  The device needs to be able to set the min code length to 1 so we can scan a “0” or “1” for example for corresponding assembly.  I would welcome any thoughts or ideas.

PartBin - WhseBin Mismatches for Quantity on Hand E9

All, I am after so help as we are experiencing massive issues with the above and at one point 2 weeks ago i had to run the FixBinAll and Conversion 6430 every other day for a week and a half.I know we are still on E9 and that is why we are getting absolutely no-where with EPICOR but at the moment we are using a system that quite frankly is not fit for purpose.What i want to know is how many people still have issues with the above, how frequently you have the issues and which version of EPICOR you are on?We are just staring the upgrade roadmap to 10 and we are looking to introduce many other EPICOR offerings to the business but this does not seem to matter to them as they keep saying there is nothing we can do. Any information/help from you guys would be appreciated.

Launch BAQ Report from Actions Menu

I recently was able to add a new menu item to the Action Menu within Transfer Order Shipment Entry but not I need it to launch a BAQ report we’ve created.I’ve taken the example given from here: Epicor: Call a BAQ From Code Customization — GingerHelp but nothing happens when I select the new menu item. Ideally we’d like the PackNum field to populate from TOS entry but here’s what it should look like it does launch:So question is how do I launch the report and pull in the data from the entry screen?Thanks,Neal

Daily EUG Summary Email

From the former EUG website I would receive a daily email summary of topics with activity from the day before.  Is this feature available on the new website and how do I go about setting it up?  BTW, I’m liking the new website, just getting familiar with it.  Thank you.

New Payroll Deduction (E9.05.702A)

My controller has asked me to modify an existing report (in Crystal Reports) to include the new FMLA deduction that goes into effect 01/01/21. I created a running total for the field and a formula to show a zero if the sum is null but can’t get any result for that deduction ID. Is there a trick anyone knows that will allow me to display the sum of a blank field as a zero? I really need to test this report before we need starting in a few weeks.

Scheduling engine assigns inactive resource

Hey all. Last week, I marked a resource as inactive as this machine center is no longer in our building. Before doing so, I went through each existing job that called out that resource and manually changed it to its twi. Global scheduling ran this weekend and now I have 312 operations calling out this inactive resource. Is there a step I forgot to do? How do I keep the scheduling engine from calling out this dead resource? FYI we are on 905.701 Thank you for any consideration

How to know when to pick non-Qty bearing parts for an order

We are testing out how to setup our VMI parts and other consumables, which we have determined that non-quantity bearing is the way to go so that they still show up on the BOM/Traveler and pick lists.Epicor help states that non-quantity bearing parts can still be sold. However, because they are non-quantity bearing they will not show up in Fulfillment workbench. Our warehouse uses the fulfillment workbench to determine which parts orders they need to process.If non-quantity bearing parts (understandably) do not appear in fulfillment workbench, how is our warehouse to know when to pick/ship these items when they are ordered, especially if they are ever the only thing on the order?

Replacement Part Sent Under RMA

When we send a replacement part under an RMA, a 'Misc Shipment’ is automatically created. Since we have to create a sales order under which to send the part so that the part is relieved from inventory, the Misc Shipment is not necessary. How can we disable that type of shipment to be automatic when we create an RMA?Tim

Creating lower level BOM 'phantom' items

Currently, all parts in our system are either classed as M(Make) or P(Purchased)Can we create another part class which would be a phantom item i.e. would exist as a reference only have had no impact on MRP/Planning/Scheduling/BOM Cost Rollups?   We need this in situations where for example we purchase a range of machined castings - a common lower level casting but then machined to create a number of variants which we purchase.  We have tried adding the lower level cast item ( classed as P )  as a sub-part of the purchased machined part also this is not ideal as (a) we have to remember that it's not actually a purchased item and (b) our BOM cost rollup process stops working correctly - it excludes the standard cost of the purchased machined item entirely. What we need is to be able to include the lower level -  but as a ‘phantom’ non-purchased item which does not stop the cost rollup process working and creates no demand within MRP etc.  Appreciate any suggestions!

Pack Slip - Not Responding

We have a large sales order for a customer and by large I mean close to 80 lines and 16 releases. When we go to create a pack slip for this order for an individual release, that user’s Epicor session “locks up” and will not respond for approximately 15 minutes for each line pulled into the pack slip. I would guess that something is wonky with the order and we would normally delete and start over but with that many lines / releases and the fact that we have already had 2 releases that have already been packed out and shipped, I don’t believe that would even be an option at this point. This is not user specific in that any user that tries to create a pack slip for this order this gets the same result. One final note, I have checked SQL for any locks on anything related to the sales order, part numbers, etc. and found nothing.I am pretty sure this is just one of those rare flukes that happen occasionally with no explanation available  however,  I figured I would ask anyway in hopes that s

BAQ Calculated Field - Current Time

10.2.500I’m finding old 8.03 conversations but nothing recent like E10, to display the current date and time, or just the current time, in a calculated field of a BAQ.  There are conversion operators that appear to have this function, but for the life of me I’m not finding a way to display the hours, minutes, and seconds of the current time. It doesn’t help that there is not a calculated field format that just says “time.”  The only thing I can get to display is a number like 40372. Thanks much!

License file

Hello All,We use Epicor 10.1.6We are trying to disable the module CRM.  When I try to disable the module it gives me an error, "Module enabled on server. Cannot be disabled."I found a epicor discussion on this stating to remove the license then add the license as normal and check all the modules you want. When I try to delete the license it states, "A company is still using license *******."  Any suggestions on how to disable the module CRM.Thank You.------------------------------Eddie HuddlestonSystem AdministratorOxnard, CA------------------------------

Customer Name Length

Hi, there.Has anyone dealt with really long company names?  Our German customers can have over 100 characters in their company name and I'm wondering how others might deal with this.  Creating additional fields and/or increasing the field length (not sure that's even possible) seems like it would be a huge undertaking with changing screens and reports.  Just looking for ideas.Thanks,Christine------------------------------Christine BlakeneySr Analyst/DeveloperBioTek Instruments, Inc.Winooski VT802 861 8513------------------------------

Active Home Page

I am starting to work on active home page in version 10.2.  In setting up my groups and tiles I end up qith a lot of balank space in my group tiles that I can't get rid of. IF I click on the arrows bottom right corner to shrink it also shrinks my tiles. SO I have smaller tiles with same proportional white space.  Is there a way to get rid of wasted space or do I need to expand tiles to fill space and try to shrink to where I want to get. Seems like this would be difficult to try and maintain any consistency to sizes in different tile groups.   Bruce Kyle   President Knight Carbide

BAQ - Creating A Calculated Field That Is Based On A Condition Over Another Calculated Field

Hi,In a BAQ, I created a calculated field ("DaysDiff") for the number of days between the current date and the due date (DueDate) field in the Invoice Header table (InvcHead).I am trying to create a calculated field, in which its value is the Invoice Amount field (InvoiceAmt) from the Invoice Header table if the DaysDiff calculated field is greater than 0 and <= 15. How do I code that in this calculated field?Thanks!------------------------------Jeff GehbauerSystems AnalystHamilton Beach Brands, Inc.Glen Allen VA804-527-7138------------------------------
