Setting up or configuring Maintenance Management

Jim,Yes always more questions as you dive into the unknown. This is another source from a consulting company I found the blog review online. Jason was one of my consultants when I worked for Epicor so he has great information with the module from last year.https://2wtech.com/on-demand-exploring-the-epicor-maintenance-management-module/ Bill

Setting up or configuring Maintenance Management

What do you want to do with the Maintenance Module?Do you currently Own the module?If yes, Are you on Kinetic? You can then search in the Help and see Articles and function specific answers.If yes, you can also look on the Epicor Support Portal and seachthen scroll down to see the various items.You can also go to the Epicor Education portal if you have the Education license and search for information on functional specific topics or a PDF training guide that may be available. You can ask your CAM for Marketing Brochures if you don’t have the module. The base features are to Add Equipment found in a Resource assigned to a Resource Group. Create a Job for a Planned Scheduled upkeep of the equipment. See this in the Resource Scheduling Board when it is scheduled for downtime to then reschedule the associated jobs. If it is an Adhoc emergency repair you can then see the production jobs on the board to manually reschedule or that are impacted by the unplanned equipment issue.You can track L

Error trying to run Epicor client first time

Have you considered installing Virtual Desktop on your Azure server and just then providing RDP access to it for the 3rd party to use? That way all the updates are then within your network/domain and you don’t need to setup outside?During the last few years with users accessing on premise systems while working from home using RDP to their office PC or to a Virtual Desktop was used to eliminate the need to install clients to the local devices for users. This was also via VPN so security to Azure was also upheld while some also used 2FA inconjunction for added security.

Error trying to run Epicor client first time

The Client PC usually needs to have Admin rights to be able to pull down the new patch files the first time and in each time a new patch level is found. At each log on the Client will go back to the server to verify versions and if higher found on the Server it will attempt to start to update the Client by pulling in the ZIP file and then auto extract and install.First time install we usually log onto the Client as Admin and then navigate to the server install program to ensure the correct parameters. Subsequent log on verification checks are permitted to that server drive housing the update files.

Error trying to run Epicor client first time

John,Have you verified that Kernelbase file exists? Can you run other common applications on the PC? Check to see if all the Client folder/files were properly installed too.Have you verified the correct .NET version is installed for Classic/Modern or Kinetic?Are there any other Security settings blocking specific functions or access to files? Just some items that pop up first.Bill

Indirect costs - Want to be able to see it and add it to product cost…..calculation for expected loss

There are many different things happening in a Business and here are some thoughts on things you may have already discussed. I have approached this from a slightly different perspective with the limited question you posted. My first question would be Why? As you state those are Indirect Costs. By Definition that indicates they are Not “Directly” related to the Production costs for the Manufacture of that part.Next question would be How Often this happens on Every Production Job? and How Much Time is Spent during these Non Production activities? Personal Needs? Is that a way to call needing to use the Restroom Facilities? Is it more common on a Longer Running Operation as you also included Fatigue? Unavoidable Delays - That is Wide Open such as Waiting On Parts to be delivered, Machine Went Down (perhaps that would be under Equipment availability/maintenance), Power Went Out (is that due to Nature, Accident outside hit your transformer). Can the Employee even then record their Indirect

Alternate Component on Bill of Materials

Mike,Depending on Industry rules for product lifecycle, Quality Control, etc.:Have you looked at using a different Revision of the Assembly part that calls out the Alternate board? Then when you add that to a Job it will explode that and drive requirements for the replacement board. (Engineering Process)You could also manually change at the Job Details level to remove the standard board (delete or change Qty to Zero) and add the alternate board. You would need to add other planning parameters for this part as it would not be driven for the Job until it was added during the Job creation steps. Kanban or Min Max or other option could be used. (Job Process)Next option could be to be a mix of the above and keep the same BOM. Add the Alternate with a Quantity of what is needed the same as regular part. Planning will see messages to Order or Make both Boards. They can act on the messages as needed. (Engineering Process) Those are a few things that come to mind.ThanksBill

Single Sales Order, Separate PO per Line

Have you looked at the Project Management module? That may provide more flexibility to track the Options. If you don’t have that have you thought about using the SO Line/Rel Reference Field to enter the PO or something identifying the Option?Line 1 could be the base product. Line 2 through X could be the various options. I try to stay away from special configuration changes when a little Outside the Box (yet inside the standard features) may fill the desired outcome.A report could be created that brings in the SO and each Line(Option) and status. A Sales Order Acknowledgement will show all the lines too. ThanksBill

Creating Subassemblies in Epicor 10.2.600.25

Welcome to the world of Epicor. We all have been there not knowing much so no worries. The format you are looking for is mostly standard when you explode the Method you create. The Method Tracker is a good view to how that Top Level and the lower levels are built.

Supplier quality

The basic Supplier Performance is limited and the Rating is manually entered based on the information presented in this system Status Dashboard:   BAQ system queries typically start with “z” and those related to Supplier Performance are highlighted below:Someone in the main EUG Forum or in the EUG Forum Files section may have previously posted a different report similar to what you are seeking. FYI there are 2 other Epicor Quality related modules - Enhanced Quality Assurance (internal to Epicor and allows addition of Inspection Plans and Action Items like BPMs) and Advanced Quality Assurance (this is a 3rd party product interface). Ask your Customer Account Manager (CAM) for more information on those more advanced modules if you see a need.

Tracking Rework Costs

Rework capture thoughts-Are you then using the Labor Capture to Start Rework to accumulate work associated to that Labor Type?When you create a Rework Job do you add a Job Prefix for example RWK123456 that you can then do a BAQ to pull in all Labor and Materials to jobs with that prefix during a particular period? ThanksBill

Arizona Epicor Users?

I will be getting the AZ User Group going again this spring as I am back being a customer after almost 6 years working at Epicor. Perhaps with a meeting at Insights for those that are attending. I have been in discussion with Jen who is the Regional Coordinator for EUG. I ran the AZ Epicor User Group from 2012 to 2015 while working for a local AZ customer. One of my current companies is running 10.2.700 that I support remotely from AZ, they were on Vantage 8 since 2002 and migrated via Cirrus to 10.2 series in 2018. Our other companies are in the process of planning their migration projects from other legacy systems to a Version of Kinetic 2022/2023 to be determined.While at Epicor I ran customer implementation and upgrade projects and supported versions from E9 through 2021.1 ThanksBill
