Am I just missing it, or is there no way to assign an NMFC code to a part in Kinetic?

Show/hide UOM on Sales Order

I’m trying to hide UOM’s from salespeople. To be clear I only track our inventory and sales UOM. I don’t want to track any other UOM’s. Here are some examples:We purchase a part in Meters and sell it in Yards. I don’t want sales to see the Meters UOM and choose it either purposefully or by accident. I have a Count UOM Class. Some parts in that class are sold by Dozen, others by Case and others by Gross. I don’t salespeople to select Gross on parts that are sold by the case.There is the option to show/hide the UOM on the web but not on the sales screen.

What is with the product configurator append screen

We use product configurator for a lot of our quotes and sales orders. More recently we have several parts that we configure from the job. Unfortunately, it seems we only get one shot. Once configured if I try to get details to get to the configurator again, instead of going to the configurator it takes me to a useless append screen. Does anyone know a way to get back to the configurator like we do in Quote and SO?

Fix for Aging Hold performance issues

We recently put the aging hold process in place in 10.2.700.4. We have seen a significant performance hit. Particularly in sales order entry. It seems to process a lot of information on the fly.  I would have expected this to all happen during the Mass Credit update overnight. We also find that pop ups are incessant. They come up on every line entered or even viewed as well as in dashboards, etc. Has anyone had similar issues and if so have you been able to fix them?

Transfer Order Suggestions without MRP

We are interested in using Transfer Order Suggestions and Transfer Order Workbench. We do not currently use MRP. However, there are plenty of Change Transfer Orders Suggestions. I assume those are generated when we generate PO’s. Since TFO changes are being suggested, should new TFO suggestions not be generated at the same time? If this does work without MRP, what am I doing wrong?

Figuring out subcontractor shipment

I’m looking for best practices regarding and process for subcontractor shipments. The conundrum for us is that we have several jobs with only a subcontract operation. The result is that we want to send part A to the vendor and receive back part B.I think that the logic would work like this. But I want to know what we are missing or if there is a simpler way of doing it. We make a Job 123 to create Part A. It has one material Part B It has one subcontract Operation 10. The part on that operation is Part C. We create a subcontract PO for Operation 10 / Part C We issue Part B to Job 123 This must create a label for Part B that changes it or explains that we are calling it Part C. We ship Part C (aka Part B) to the subcontractor. We receive back Part C (aka Part A) from the subcontractor. Thus completing Operation 10. We receive Part C into stock. Which also completes Job 123.It does seem like it would be a lot easier if we had an outbound and inbound part on the operation.

parts schedule 1 day early

We slowly backing our way into the scheduling functionality. We are mostly using infinite scheduling. We have lots of small jobs that are constantly changing date, so we mostly pay attention to the due date. However, some parts always schedule to finish 1 day before the req. by date. It seems to be part specific, but I cannot figure what pushes these parts early.Has anyone had a similar experience or suggest what variables/setup that might drive this?

Buy to Job without automatic issuing.

We do a lot of buying to a job. These are mostly fabrics and lot controlled, so we cannot allow Epicor to automatically issue to the job at receipt. Currently the job material and the PO are not linked. It is only noted on the PO comments. That makes it very difficult to track. We move very fast and there is a lot of time pressure on each job. Is there a way to link the PO to the job but not automatically receive it to the job when the PO is received?We are on 10.2.400
