Wow, Iā€™m naive here but that seems like a lot to me - the whole company isnā€™t on Epicor is it?

We have only about 150 employees that are in the divisions that use Epicor, but the company itself is much larger.

Iā€™m curious if thatā€™s typical or not of other people here.

Hello Everyone,

I started my adventure with Epicor in '97 when joined Scala, company acquired by Epicor in 2004. Right now I run the 200 people Professional Services company specializing in Epicor ERP and iScala products. We believe in automation, introduce various automation techniques in ERP products saving thousands of labour hours of Epicor users.

Iā€™ll be very glad to contribute to this group with the experience our team has.

Hi!

Iā€™m an ERP implementation specialist working on my first Epicor project. Iā€™ve been brought in to assist in an implementation that has been dormant for a couple of years. The software was installed about four years ago and is still not in use across the board.

So far Iā€™m struggling to wrap my head around the logic behind Epicors processes but I have now managed to find the various guides that they provide and Iā€™m making my way through those.

I fear I will be raising some really ā€œsimpleā€ questions in the coming weeks, and I look forward to hearing how people have worked through them to save me some time!

Ask simple questions!

Obviously, try to do your homework here, but the hardest thing for me is always ā€œwhat itā€™s calledā€ - the magic jargon word that you need to search for in the help. Once I have that, Iā€™m on a roll.

Definitely review the user guides. Depending on your previous experience I would also recommend the Technical reference guides as well. There is a lot of information to be add. The installation and configurations guides for Installing, ICE Guides, and Customizations are also good, if you are looking to get into the details of those options like BPMs, Table Extensions, and Customizing forms.

Iā€™m making my way through through the implementation guide, and I think I have the others so I will follow up with those as I go. My client had the software installed several years ago and some guides have been lost along the way. Theres also no support contract in place so I canā€™t access Epicor University. Do you know of anywhere else to access the guides in PDF format?

Hi everyone;
My Name is Mario Mancilla, Iā€™m a Computer System Engineer gen 99/00 in Monterrey MĆ©xico, have specialized on legacies customer support working on the biggest Internet/Phone company in MĆ©xico on my early days, for the last 15 year I have gathered quite experience on Scrum, ITIL and Project Management on two different companies, and for the 6 years have a focus on taking my current company to the same level of infrastructure need for the rapid production growth that has had since it started 100 years ago, been a rough road cause we use to ā€œcontrolā€ operations using Excel sheets, imagine that. have become part of this EPICOR world since 2017 when we started our E10 multi-tenant implementation in this Toy company, where I am the IT manager.

Have been the one taking the bull by the horns by stepping up when a consultant or even when we hire someone for an Epicor roll doesnā€™t stay long, so I have learned somehow BAQā€™s, Epicor Setting for all Modules, Dashboard, Reports, End-user/tech Manuals ā€¦ and so on.

At this point in the story is where Epiusers got an important place in my daily basis, I am pleased to be here, to finally be part of this great community. ĀæHow did I got here?, back on 2017 trying to go deeper to get not only knowledge/training on Epicor10 but also be able to set it all, I started looking for peopleā€™s real experience, not just theory, and every time I google an epicusers.help link was there to assist. Now that the implementation is over and I have lower my mind revolutions have realized that I want not only to be able to learn more from you guys but also to be able to help someone if there is something useful I can share.

Hope to see you around, donĀ“t be strangers.

Hi everyone! Iā€™m a newbie to the group and to Epicor. I work for a small electronics design and manufacturing company outside of Raleigh, NC. Weā€™re in the process of implementing Epicor 10 and Iā€™m the lucky project manager. Since weā€™re a small company and we all wear a lot of hats as a general rule - this also means that Iā€™m trying to learn EVERYTHING since Iā€™m responsible for making this thing work! I stumbled across this group by accident as I was ā€œGTSā€™ingā€ (Google That Sā€¦) an issue I had. Seems like a great group with a lot of interaction - which was definitely not the case with the user group of our soon-to-be previous MRP system. Iā€™ll try to do my research before asking questions!

Welcome Wendy! There are a lot of experts here. After you have done your research, ask away! Weā€™ll try to help as much as we can. When posting questions, please be as detailed as you can be so it helps us understand what is happening. Too many times people post things and havenā€™t given the details so we waste time having to ask for them. Since all of us are busy people, some questions can get overlooked or unanswered due to not having enough details. Also note that we are a pretty friendly group and we try to welcome new users with open arms and help them because we have all walked in those shoes at one time or another!

@utaylor - Thanks. After a year of not working on Epicor I am having to dust off the Epicor knowledge brain cells, funny how much you lose quickly. I had to do a complete mind shift in the last year working on ECI MAX (yuck) but it is starting to come back - slowly. I guess I have some shoes here to fill now :slightly_smiling_face:
