Cannot see completed cycle counts in count cycle maintenance

Hi Graeme,Thanks for replying.Yes, I can call up all completed counts in count tracker without a problem, likewise I can see all the information in a custom dashboard I created last year, it's purely Count Cycle Maintenance that is giving me the issue.If I search for specific records of physical counts that have been completed then I see all the results listed that I would expect, but if I then try to select one I get an additional message “The Warehouse has no Physical Count Records”, followed by the “There is no row at position 0” error.  I was able to display the count whilst it was ongoing, the problem has only appeared once the count status changed to complete after posting.  As far as I know the Inventory Movements report displaying adjustments resulting from the count can only be run from Count Cycle Maintenance.  If anyone knows another location I could run it from then I wouldn’t need to see completed counts in Count Cycle Maintenance.Regards,Matthew

Interestingly we went through something similar at the start of implementation.  Some Design Engineers wanted Epicor to control the build standard of their products, and therefore felt it should only reflect a BoM that matches the drawings exactly.They were re-educated to the fact that an ERP system is a business-wide system, not just for one department.  It needs to know everything needed to make a product so it can a) control the stock of those parts and order when necessary, making sure you have enough stock to cater for wastage as well, and b) accurately cost your product, so you know how much it really costs you to make it, so you know what to charge your customers.Across the board, persuading multiple departments that were used to only thinking of “their little bit” of the business to work with an ERP system that connected everyone to everyone else was an interesting challenge.   In my experience the people who use the system best are the people to take the time to learn how thei

Speaking as an Engineer that works on Product MoM’s, I think the answer to your question somewhat depends on what kind of salary level you’re thinking of offering for the position.  For example, if you’re planning on treating it more like an administrative job, “this is the person that creates the parts on the computer for us”, then advertising the job as an Engineering position would be the wrong call because professional Engineers would be put off by the basic admin pay.  Alternatively, if you plan on treating it as a technically skilled job, where the person requires good engineering knowledge and Epicor ability, then advertising it as an administrative role won’t attract people skilled enough.  Consider who you’re targeting.As Tim described above, our company has Sales Engineers who deal with the customers, Design Engineers who design the products and “own” them, and Manufacturing Engineers who design and “own” the processes to build those products.  I was a Manufacturing Engineer
