Menu Maintenance - Kinetic App - Program ERP.UI.xxxEntry - Select customization - Set as Read Only

Thank you for this, Patty! I’m in the process of converting our classic forms to Kinetic and just randomly discovered that all of my Supplier Tracker screens were write accessible. Yikes! Even in the latest version 2023.1.5 that our Pilot environment is on.This solution fixed the problem as stated.Have you reported this as a bug? I couldn’t find anything when searching for this in EpicCare.Have you shared this on EpiUsers.help, too?

BPM Condition contains wildcard?

For those who may come across this in the future, this got me to the solution I needed: BPM Condition phrases

BPM Condition contains wildcard?

You can use “contains” something like:   if (partNum.Contains(“-3-”)) { } I have no problem finding the -3- instances. It’s the ones where I need to find ones that have a variety of alpha characters between the 3 and the last dash, e.g. -3PBA- I can’t get any sort of wildcard to work to correctly find those instances.

I’m strictly using a Condition widget using the “specified field of the … row(s) contains the specific expression” option.In my BAQ I used on the Part table the criteria PartNum LIKE %-3[a-z]%-% constant. I tried that particular expression in my BAQ, too, but it also didn’t work.

Customer Signature and Electronic Form

I have no experience with this, but have been very intrigued by the new Automation Studio within Kinetic. In a webinar demo I watched they stated that it is connected via/built on Workato integrations to make connections like these between Epicor and services like DocuSign that you mentioned.  https://www.workato.com/integrations

Heads UP! 2022.1.8 and a recurring MRP Issue

Epicor still has not updated our ticket set to urgent from yesterday with this issue... Oh, good to know that it’s not just us that they aren’t responding to tickets on. We also had some urgent tickets recently and one was never responded to before we resolved the issue a day later.

Heads UP! 2022.1.8 and a recurring MRP Issue

We are going live tomorrow and just ran into this after testing everything to be ok in 2022.1.6 and now have this error for Global scheduling and MRP.  What is the fix and how do I get Epicor support to make it work?  I would ask them about applying a fix (ERP-40914 was the one they used for us) to your server to correct it, and also reference problem PRB0249226. That should get them pointed in the right direction for you.

Data Mining with products outside of Epicor

This is helpful as well. Not well versed on the REST API. I might get back with you on this if that works with you?  If you go to**your server name as shown within Epicor**/api/help/v1/ or  **your server name as shown within Epicor**/api/help/v2/It will prompt you for your Epicor login credentials to gain access. Once you’re in, there’s a lot of helpful information there to help you navigate using the RESTful API.

Data Mining with products outside of Epicor

Not sure if this is something that you’ve already looked into, but we (as cloud customers) use BAQs called through the RESTful API to feed data into external applications that we have developed, as well as to pull data into Power BI through an OData feed. It can be slow at times, depending on what is being pulled and the complexity of the BAQ, but overall seems to work well for us.I know that our software development team has built, essentially, a data warehouse external to Epicor that they have update on a schedule (not sure what it is, but could be as often as minutes or less) to pull the data they need from Epicor using REST, so that their applications can grab that data quicker from the “warehouse” than pulling directly from Epicor.

Heads UP! 2022.1.8 and a recurring MRP Issue

We ran into this issue back in April of this year on version 2022.1.1. They had to apply a fix (ERP-40914) to our server to correct it, and they also opened problem PRB0249226, which I see is still in Accepted status without any Resolution or Fixed in Release noted.

Scheduling MRP

It can be as easy as selecting a Schedule at the bottom of the Process MRP screen, clicking the “Recurring” checkbox, and then clicking the Process icon.Schedules are added through the System Agent, if you don’t have any.

PO Release Status Codes: C, M, O, v

I used the Business Activity Query to search for the PORel table, then look at the fields for the description to see what it says.   I have seen in the past other fields like this one that do include codes like the “M” you mention, that aren’t listed in the description for whatever reason. (Epicor’s field descriptions not being complete is a known issue.)

PO Release Status Codes: C, M, O, v

If you’re talking about the PORel.Status field, the description of that field states:“Indicates the current status of the release. This field is maintained by the System automatically. The possible values are: Open (O), Arrived (A), Inspection (I), Received (R), Consumed (U), Drop Shipped (D), Closed (C), Voided (V).”

Looks similar to what others have posted here, but I found the step-by-step instructions in this link perfect for setting up a BAQ to track which of our BAQs are being used:https://www.gingerhelp.com/knowledgebase-epicor-erp/logging-baq-usage-with-a-bpm

Cloud MRP - Logfile Question

There’s a form within Epicor called “Server File Download.” You’ll find the log there.Not sure if the options are different based on company configurations, but for us I get to those logs by choosing “Company” in the Directory Type dropdown, clicking the Select File button, then double clicking on the Log folder and then double clicking the folder for the user who the schedule runs under.The logs will be in there.Also, I’ve found that if you don’t put something in the Log field in the Process MRP form that it won’t create the logs. At least that’s been my experience.

BAQ Date Restricted Demand

Try using the PartDtl table instead.Once you choose criteria for the right SourceType to filter for demand (for us it’s OR and JM), then you apply criteria to the DueDate field.

Auto Job Completion/Closing causing Non-Qty Bearing on hand to go negative

Also any backflush of materials--whether regular backflush or Kanban--overrides part class setup and allows the part to go negative. Seems like a dumb exception to me but that is how it works. Right, but why would the scheduled Auto Job Completion/Closing process--making parts go negative--be any different from any other user processing the backflush--parts don’t go negative? (Again, assuming that’s what happening, which it really seems to be.)Trying to get to the root cause for why sometimes it happens and other times it doesn’t. If it was consistent then it should be easier to determine.

Auto Job Completion/Closing causing Non-Qty Bearing on hand to go negative

Hi David, if you have Non-Stock as “False” then they would be Stock items. It’s a double negative and not intuitive, but Non-Stock = True is the state I believe you are after. Thanks Shawn  That’s kind of what I was thinking it could be, too. Problem is that in our testing before setting these up this way, making them non-stock caused MRP to not properly create the jobs requiring this particular material. So we had to go with making them stock for that to work. And it’s not happening with every part, even though they are set up exactly the same way.

Client Version Mismatch with Cloud Server (11.1.200.5)

Cloud has a download portal: https://download.epicorsaas.com/ where you enter your Site ID, then choose the environment that you need, then download the installer and run it. Of course, your ability to run the installer depends on your org’s read/write policies; you may need an Admin to do it.I’m not sure if the installer just puts it on your desktop or if that’s where our IT has designated it goes, but I’d guess that it will install wherever your current install is located.
