It’s not a simple explanation.  You’re going to have to take a course through EpicWeb.  Your admin can sign you up if you don’t have access:

Mass part Delete through Epicor or DMT

If there’s no activity, you should be able to delete with the DMT (Data Management Tool). Keith

MRP Socket Disconnect Error

Monty,Yes, it was a problem in the system agent:Make sure these credentials are populated and that the user has administrator privilege's on the server.  If that works, I can question my admin if the permissions can be reduced at all if that’s a concern.

Net change MRP - MRP Recalc Required?

Can you share the specific issue?  You just state there is a bug.  We run a full regen every night so perhaps not an issue?  If you advise the specific issue, I can advise my team to do some targeted testing during our upgrade.

Deploy E10 Client - intune or ?

We eliminated Citrix a few years back when we upgraded from 9 to 10.  Simplified access for the end user and performance was as good if not better.  We use PDQ to deploy the client and the upgrades.  Never tried Intune.

BAQ to query total sales by customer to Match Income Statement

Agreed, your difference is likely sales adjustments in the GL but how your company books freight, credits and taxes could also contribute to a variance.

How to limit via 'user security', the use of the DELETE icon.?

Avoid Errors With this Epicor Quick Tip.1. Under Tools, select Options. 2. Under Global Options, select Toolbar. 3. Notice the delete icon is next to the save icon. In the Delete Tool Location drop-down menu, select where you want to move the icon. In this ... 4. Click OK. As you can see, the delete icon now appears after the NavControl icon. With this new location, you’ll no longer have to worry about ... 5. Even after making this change, you could still accidentally click delete. Therefore, we recommend turning your “Confirm Delete” messages back on.

1 raw material, 1 operation results could be part A or part B

Sometimes the low tech approach is the best for these unusual situations.  Obviously if you are in a regulated industry this may not meet your audit requirements.  What specifically isn’t working well with the manual system?

PO Suggestions for each demand instance instead of total demand

I believe your solution is to adjust the Days of Supply setting on the site > planning tab in part set-up lot sizing.  Enter 15 days and any demand should be bulked together for a single suggestion over that 15 day period.  Not an expert though and there are many settings that affect lot sizing that can sometimes conflict.  I would encourage you to try adjusting the days of supply.

Best way to create a large Sales Order from a PDF PO

Start a new sales order and then create a new sales order line.  Before filling in any information go to the Line > List view and right click on any field and select “Copy to Excel” form the list.  You will get a template to fill out in Excel.  You can then right click on the blank line again and Paste > Insert as many rows as you want back into the grid.Alternately, you could enter a line and then see how the data looks in Excel before filling out the template for the remaining lines.

Aged Parts Removal

It depends what you mean by “used”.  I would write the BAQ on the erp.parttran table and reference the transaction types you want to include in your definition of “used”.  I’ve attached a list.

Epicor multi BOM MRP planning

Is MRP scheduled?  Did someone check “Ignore Constrained Materials” when they set-up the schedule?  An obvious one but worth mentioning to be sure.

Purchase Receipt Default Warehouse

The warehouse code is captured on the release when the release is created:If you change the primary warehouse and have a new primary bin for the part, existing POs will still go to the warehouse on the PO release and the primary bin for that warehouse.  New releases should route correctly and you can change the warehouse on existing POs through the DMT or manually.
