407 ETA Blank Title 72026

Yahoo Archive
1
On any given day (we run global nightly) about 30% of our finite resource scheduled jobs have OPs scheduled out of sequence (completely disrespecting the Finish-to-Start relationship of our OPs).

I'm not talking a 'little' off: Example: Job 123 has OP5 scheduled to start in mid March. OP10 will be scheduled to start IMMEDIATELY (today).

If materials are associated with these out-of sequence scheduled OPs it plays hell with material planning.

406 didn't fix it (and broke other things so we chose not to upgrade). 407 release notes hint that the problem is acknowledged. We'll be testing that this month.

Support has been useless. After MONTHs of back and forth (and even with a copy of our db) they have yet to acknowledge the problem. My last contact with them (2 weeks ago) I had then dump the JobHed, JobOper & JobOpDtl tables to csv and I pulled them into excel and SHOWED them the massively mischeduled OPs. After getting a "I'll call you tomorrow" response, I'm still awaiting the call back.

On Monday I start the escalation process. If they don't have support ON-SITE within a week (we are 15 minutes from their Parsippany NJ hub), I'll be recommending we dump support for the current year and file suit to recover last year's fees.

This product is not giving us a competitive edge over our competition. It is an OBSTACLE.

The 404 bugs (which we alerted them to and they fixed in 405) were with the Calculate Global Scheduling Order application. They were using the wrong date in the calculation (due date instead of required date) and also weren't using the scheduling code multiplier.

This COULD be an OK product if they didn't treat their customers like an enemy to be sucked dry via support fees (with no support in return for those fees).

I'll be surprised if they survive this recession.

What is the global scheduling bug you are referring to here? We have just started using at and have a few issues.

Vic,



Clive is right (in our experience). 404 was an abomination (re bugs). 405(a) is much better (although still one HUGE bug with global scheduling - that 406 doesn't fix as we've tested).



I'd consider 405. If you're customized, the only area we found it broke customizations (404 to 405) was with PO Entry. Most of our customization in PO Entry to were self-fix bugs and they actually fixed many of the bugs (and cclearly made some major under the hood changes) so our 404 PO Entry customizations broke.



Other than that, the only thing close to being an OK (quality) release I've seen out of Epicor.



We don't feel compelled to blindly upgrade either. (More trouble than it's worth with Epicor's horrific release quality track record.)



I'm with you... I'll wait for v10 before seriously considering v9 & let others more daring do Epicor's QC for them. ....They should pay US! :)



We're in business to serve our customers & try to eke out a profit - Not just blindly play with the latest/greatest claimed Epicor offering & devote hundreds of hours to doing there QC for them.

Vic,



I can remember at least three big bugs that were fixed in 405, you may



want to check the change list for 405 to see what bugs you're still



running with.



There's one fixed that can effect costs on materials issued to jobs and



another that sorts out a problem with change logs.

Does any one know what the ETA is for 407 cuz we have been told that a
problem we are having is going to be fixed on that SP and they are not doing
a one off for the problem.

Hi Charlie,

We too are waiting for a fix in 407. I have been told they are already starting work on 408, so 407 must be anytime soon.

I can't understand how Vantage has been going as a product for ages and they are still just getting round to fixing some of the faults. Now they have brought 9 out which is likely to be full of faults just the same.

I will keep you updated if/when I find out about the release date.

Cheers,


CHRIS

I'm on 404B and staying. Why? It works.

I've NEVER been a big fan of upgrading "just because" someone decides to release a service pack.

To this day I disable Windows Update on everything I own.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I learn the nuances and work-arounds on my version and stick with it. Because every time an "upgrade" or "patch" is applied, 10 other unknown new problems are revealed.

I'm with Jonathan...... but I'll wait for Vantage 10. :-)

Mark,
Â
Notice the 9."x". I'll wait for a later version of the kernel before upgrading. Everytime upgrades come out that fixes a problem I have, I cringe wondering what chaos the patch will unleash on my DB.
Â
I did upgrade to 406A because it fixed a HUGE problem with Job Closing. After the upgrade was finished I noticed that all of the Primary Bins had been erased from many parts, not all. When I ran a report to see how many parts had no Primary Bin it counted 19,056 parts.
Â
There were many other "little" problems I had to fix, but you are left with a queezy feeling after the upgrade has been accomplished.

Mark, what's your pragmatic sense on the quality of the 9.0 code you
got? I know that what went to RTM was not what you started with.



My sense is that 9.0 is something of a big service pack from 8.3,
which implies a thorough level of testing, but something less than a
turn-the-world-upside-down kind of activity. Based on feedback I've
heard here and elsewhere, Vantage SPs aren't as painless as one might
hope for but I'm hoping that its better than it could be.



We did a few customer references before our buy decision and the folks
we talked to were happy with the product quality, updates, and
functionality. The tone in this group is somewhat more mixed (which is
to be expected).

It's a REALLY BIG service pack. Yes, the foundation tools for the UI, etc.
are the same but there are some serious under-the-hood changes that can/will
turn your world upside-down. The most notable is in the financials. Account
number segments are now user-defined. You're not restricted to
Div-Dept-Acct. You can have up to a ridiculously high account number length
(100+) and as many segments that you can fit in there. The whole posting to
the G/L is now table driven to allow to posting to multiple books for
different purposes. Unit of Measure capability is much different, including
conversion factors and different UOM fields on a part for stock, purchasing,
and selling. The physical inventory and cycle count is MUCH more structured
than before. The new BAQ designer (graphical) lets you use the same table
(alias) more than once. There's something that I haven't tested yet and
that's BPM forms. You can design a form (text input, radio, dropdown,
buttons) and gather information during an event like a dialog box. "Do you
want to continue?" or "Enter the heat lot number", etc. And then there's new
stuff like vendor/customer managed inventory.

A lot of these changes come from the other Epicor product lines. Since the
migration path is toward 9 for ALL Epicor companies, they need to make sure
that 9 has enough of the same capabilities to make folks migrate.

I would say it certainly deserves the moniker 9 instead of 8.1, that's for
sure. As for quality, ...well..., I'm having a bad quality day today but
Epicor has been quite responsive. Ask me again on January 5th at 5:00 PM.

;-)

Mark W.
11
Mark,

In the UK they still haven't got their physical media for 9 to send
to customers (which I've asked for) so I presume that you were a beta
tester ?.

Now that it's out you can spill the beans ;-)

Have you been involved at all with Microsoft Performance Point (I'm
interested in it's KPI's). Also have Epicor made any changes to the
licensing, e.g. to use the new reporting tools (Microsoft stuff) you
have to get licenses for them from Epicor, they don't come with it.

I've been through the help files and what you can get on-line but I
can't get a handle on whether or not any work has been put into the
standard out of the box reports, I presume there's still a lot of
Progress/text reports in there ?.

With the new BAQ designer, and its multiple table references, can you
refer back to a table allmost infinetely ?, e.g. create a BAQ that
you could use to output a full BOM ?.

Thanks.

I felt I've been spilling the beans quite well right along!

The only experience I had is the KPI session at Perspectives. I'm assuming
that was the Performance Point demo. It was impressive. It looks like the
new BI model is having Cube Connect build the OLAP cubes and then letting
the users use whatever OLAP viewer they want. Since the cubes are in SQL,
it's natural to use Performance Point but I think you're not restricted.

There are still a few Progress reports but more have been moved to Crystal.

Ooooh, good question. I'll try, but right now we're under a time crunch.
I've been posting during conversion runs. I'll be doing conversion #6 next
week before the live conversion on New Years Eve. (Fingers crossed)

Jonathan,

When you had the problem with the wiping of the Primary Bins, how did you resolve it?

Has anybody else had this problem from upgrading to 406a?

We are only on 404 and Epicor are doing some customisation for us but we need to be on 407 - That'll be fun by the sounds of things!

Cheers,


CHRIS
