Error Loading Home Page - Kinetic Client

@Dave Miller We have one user who has been encountering that error repeatedly since March 27, but we have not been able to determine the cause.  Similarly, if the client cache folder and the local app data folder are cleared, the user can resume using Epicor, but inevitably, the issue returns.  We are using version 10.2.200.40.Regards,

avg cost calculation not averaging

The average cost calculations are applicable to only inventory-related transactions, so yes, it does make a difference if the parts are purchase direct and received directly to jobs,.

Kinetic 2023.2 PO Suggestions - Filtering

You can assign only one buyer per part class.  However, you can still provide coverage by specifying additional authorized users for each buyer ID.

Kinetic and Human Capital Managment

Yeah, what Dolores said!  After navigating to that page (which should be the same one that I linked in my previous reply), then you should see a “Subscribe” option on the right side of the page…...and subscribing should give you access to the group.  If you cannot subscribe, then I suggest that you email info@epicorusers.org and request some assistance.

It seems like you have the wrong format selected.  You want {longtime} rather than {datetime}.

Column not visible in dashboard grid

Judging from the screenshots in your original message, it appears that you have the program type for the menu option set to dashboard-runtime.  Have you tried setting it to dashboard-system to see if that makes any difference?

Maximize Use of Epicor 10...?

@michael.lintz@martinyale.com Hello Michael.Since you said that you are “being asked by upper management on ways we can fully utilize the power of Epicor 10” and that you have “very limited experience with Epicor”, the very first question that came to mind was… does anyone at your company even really have any idea of everything that the application can do?  Seems to me that should be your starting point, i.e. to have a fundamental understanding of the application’s capabilities before trying to decide where to focus your efforts.  If you don’t have that fundamental understanding, then I would recommend obtaining and thoroughly reviewing the application user guide and the implementation user guide for the particular release that you are running.Regards,

Credit Cards (PayPal) and Kinetic

Hi Karen.  I cannot help you regarding issue #2, but I can tell you that Secure Data Manager (SDM) is no longer an option.  Back in 2018, Epicor stopped distributing and supporting SDM and introduced new functionalities of their own.  I believe these are now known as Epicor Payment Application, Epicor Payment Gateway and Epicor Payment Exchange.  See EpicCare Knowledge Base article KB0040589.Regards,

Pop-Up List of Alternate Parts When On Hand Qty < Sale Order Qty?

Very interesting, thank you both!  For our solution, I created a Quick Search, but it sounds like setting up a BAQ Zone might have been a better solution.

@info @calvind I’ve never tried setting up a BAQ Zone, but Calvin’s description surely sounds enticing.  Is it easy to create a BAQ Zone?  If so, could you very briefly describe how to do that?Regards,

@info Yes, it definitely is possible, and it doesn’t necessarily require a BPM or any code.  We have the very same business use case that you have, and we literally have thousands of alternate parts in the system.  Please allow me a little time to gather the information and then I will post another reply.Regards,

How to Manage Part Lifecycle - Obsolete Parts

Hi @saugustine I would recommend exactly what Trudie recommended plus use the same Part Alternates functionality for your part upgrades.  Just add your part and specify an alternate type of “Substitute” with a substitution type of “Upgrade”.  You can even specify downgrades in the same way, if you have alternative parts with lesser functionalities but lower prices that you may want to offer customers who are more “cost-conscious”.  Lastly, you can even specify complementary parts that you may want your sales/order entry personnel to offer to the customer when certain parts are being ordered.  Btw, since you are already using notes/comments, you may want to consider moving some of that information to the alternate part comments field.  Good luck!Regards,
