Good Day Chris:
E9 was not available for loading. No date given. We needed to get
started - will try to get on 9.05 before 7/1 live date.
Sun Is on:
M2K, 7.0 SP7, Informix ( not Unix) (Currently using).
Going to: Epicor 9, 9.04 ( was suppose to be 9.05), SQL (live
7/1/2010- maybe 8/1/10)

You can do BAQs and import them into dashboards which can also be
printed in a spreadsheet fashion. You can also add report links to
dashboards so you can export the data to Crystal and modify the report
to look good. You can also create a BAQ Report using a BAQ and design
the layout in Crystal.
The way I look at it is 'if the information is there, you can report on
it', it's just sometimes trial and error until you achieve the right
results.
Why are you going to 9.04? Is 9.05 not going to be available by the time
you go live.
IF 9.05 is available when you go live I would strongly recommend going
live with it. We made the mistake (in my eyes) of going live with 503B
when 504 was due to be released. If we had waited we would have had less
support calls.
That said, how long do you really wait? All I would recommend is if a
newer version is available before you go live, test it and go with it as
it will help you and will help support.

Good Day Chris:
You said you ran BAQ reports. I thought BAQ did not generate
reports. I thought you had to use Crystal to actually do the report. I
don't mean to be picky, but I am finding that many things are not
predictable in the package; or what I think is true, often is not true
-in some circumstances- sort of - maybe- depending.
Type of reports I want:
1. Quote to customer that gives a delivery date, or at least ( N
days-after-order) .
2. QOH report that has one line per Part# and can select Part# range or
other.
3. Aged inventory report
4. Stock-Out report - what orders taken today were not in stock - half
of Sun's business is parts ( distribution) the other half is Machinery
for the corrugated box industry.
5. Shortage report that gives needed PO\WO's without linking - that is,
calculation is based on dates.
6. Probably a receiver ticket.
So, some are from scratch, other are modification to their reports.

Hi
What sort of reports are you looking for?
Generally if we needed a report we just wrote a BAQ then either
incoporated it into a Dashboard OR did a BAQ Report.
Thanks,
CHRIS

Going to: Epicor 9, 9.04 ( they said it would be E9.05 but installer
did not have it), SQL (live 7/1/2010)
We started training on E9 today.
It seems to me that there are not very many reports, and the few I
have seen are your typical "All fields, three-sub-totals, 5 lines per
part# ( inventory report), etc."
Maybe there are some hiding somewhere.
E9 users: Did you find that to be true?
Did you have to write a lot of reports?
Did you edit theirs, or just go from scratch?
Using BAQ and Crystal mostly?
Well, back to class.
