Wendy,If you are talking about Trial Balance or General Ledger type of standard reports, then no, I have never seen the ability to cross fiscal years.If you are asking about the customizable basic financial report designer, then there is more flexibility to show multiple periods in the same report
There is always the option of customizing posting rules.Recommend having an experienced consultant do this as the process is far from intuitive, and can lead to unbalanced (unpostable) transactions if you do it wrong.
I concur with Calvin and ToddDo a fresh clean implementation. The structure of 6 is so different from the current structure.
We also do not use service calls or field service for bringing serialized items back in for repairs.We do an RMA and Sales order.When a legacy SN comes in, we do SN Maintenance to create the old SN in the new system.
Scott,Good point.It is now a menu item under System Management/Rebuild Processes. Thanks
Though one can use projects, my preference is to use regular old Jobs. I use them for both CAPEX and Expense cost tracking.This requires some product group and part class and gl control setup, but actually works pretty well.I have implemented it (or a version of this process) at more than one company Paul
Charles is correct.As a financial consultant, I always recommended that process. Attached is a quick doc showing the setup of that methodology. Paul
Ryan,you have identified one of the two tools, but there is another to consider. (I use both)The two tools for segregating revenue (and COGS) in the GL are:-Product Group on the parts defaulting to SO Line-Sales reporting Department defaulting from Customer Group
What we ended up doing was to set it on an “Interval” type schedule for 5 minutes.the process was set: Not as Continuous, and Yes, set as Recurring
Or, fix your GL Controls.Mistakes or oversights in setting up or maintaining GL Controls is the usual cause of these errors.
I “THINK” that when the PO is to a job, then the AP Invoice Entry variance tries to follow the same GL Control as the PO Receipt, which would be PUR-MTL. If the job is still open, then the costs would go to WIP.
better to do cancellation invoice, then change the taxability, then re-invoice.With cancellation invoice process, the RMA process is no longer required for this.
I heard very clearly from the big stage that Epicor is not forcing people to the cloud, but that they are now recognizing that there are scenarios where it makes sense to remain on prem.
In addition to working with a financial consultant, I recommend attending Epicor Insights where there are likely some sessions that would help.
Several quick comments:end the debate by changing your GL Control codes on product group, to separate the manufacturing variances by cost category (Labor, Burden, Matl, Sub). Be sure everybody understands that the normal method for calculating standard cost is to use the costing workbench. It will calculate the standard cost using the method of manufacturing which is what drives the estimated labor on the jobs. Of course, for setup, these will vary with the lot size. The mathematical way the cost accountant is doing the calc should be considered an ESTIMATE of variance only as there are a lot of factors that can make different answers, such as: crew size, labor rate of individual clocked onto job, labor rate of resource group, setup/costing lot size vs job quantity (and the list goes on), timing of job closing and Capture COS.
Rebecca,I believe that you cannot delete a gl account after there have been transactions posted to it.You can mark it inactive.I suggest you try deleting it in your test environment to confirm.
I am CFO and Executive Manager of Regulatory for Aseptico, Inc. in Washington state.We design/manufacture/sell worldwide.Most products are considered a Medical device, though low risk since they are all Dental only. At last July’s Insights, there was a Medical Device session, but there were few attendees other than me.We have dropped much of our product line from Europe, due to the extreme cost of compliance in their shift to MDR. Paul Jackson
I generally keep several future years loaded into the main fiscal calendar.
Daniel,The below snippet is from E10, but is essentially what I have done in E9. I like putting this as close to the top as I can.
As long as it is simply text, and is not pulling any data fields, you can have it say anything you want.
Yes, that is much safer
looks good to me, but I would add the error trapping of “if transaction text is not available…..”Because, if it fails to build the good description, it can fail to post and you may not get all transactions posted to the GL.
A couple comments if you do the customization:I believe that the “Transaction Text” will be concatenated at 30 characters. So be wary of that as you concatenate things I recommend that you put in an if then statement to bail out if the concatenation fails.I did mine before they had the separate customization tab, and it looks like the below.
We had Steve Rhoades at ERP Edge write us a custom dashboard for this.you can contact him at Steve@erpedge.net Paul
Nope.You would select those parts, in Actions/Load Cost Details. You might even be able to paste insert in the selection screen.
