MES Customization Problems

Thanks for the info everybody. One more question:

I have read over some of the documentation in the answer book and
can't tell if I can call custom Crystal Reports from the MES buttons.

It doesn't list the dll in the list of available programs.

Can anyone tell me if you can do this?

Thanks,
David

Hi, I have just completed programing one of the blank buttons on the
MES screen to open the Scheduled Shipments report. While i am in MES
developer mode, all works fine. I then created a new menu item called
UD0001 in Sub Process Maintenance, as per the help menu, and have
changed the config file to read 'MESCustomMenuID value="UD0001" but
the MES still wont pick up my customization. Is there something that i
am missing?
Thanks, Jase.

Sorry to reply to a question with a question, but how do you get into
MES developer mode? We are just getting ready to make the switch to
8.0 and this could help me out a lot.

Thanks,

There are several good articles in the ePortal Answerbook on customizing
MES. Search for "MES"

If you log into Epicor support you can search for the following help
documents in the answerbook:
6539MPS
6035MPS
5213MPS

In a nutshell
1) Enter developer mode in Vantage
2) Create a new MES shortcut on your desktop with the 'MESC'
attribute
3) Log into MES using this new ICON
4) Create your customizations
5) Go back to Vantage and add your customizations in the Process
Calling Maintenance and Sub Process Maintenance
6) Go to the xxx.mfgsys file being referenced by your MES icon and
re-focus the command line <MESCustomMenuID value= yourMES>

Hi All,



Just been looking into BPM (803) and its ability to call .net code,



Does anyone know how one would go about capturing calling additional
business objects, but utilising the same connection pool / transaction /
user etc?



As an example, BPM post method for an order, call .net code to get some
customer information and then modify the temp Tables back to the order.



The documentation seems a little sparse...



Regards,



Stephen

Hi David,
To get into the developer mode for MES, just follow the following
steps,
1. Right click on the shortcut for vantage 8.0 MES.
2. Copy & paste the icon to the desktop.
3. Rename the copy to something like MES developer.
4. Right click the icon and choose properties.
5. In the target area, locate where it shows -MES and change it to -
MESC.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
7. Simply double click the MES developer icon and your in as a
developer.

Cheers,

Jason Abramczyk

I have followed the help menu and the answerbook articles on the
eportal site but i must have done something wrong. I think my best
bet would be to do it over from scratch. Lucky i am using our pilot
database for this.

Thanks all.

Does anyone know the proper process for drop shipping an item that comes
from a sales order?
Right now, the order goes through order entry, and ususally we use the get
shipments function AR invoicing to process the receivable.

Since we never ship anything, the sales order sits out "waiting" for someone
to find it.

Seems that the only way to link a so to a po is with inter-company links and
a multi-company or multi-site license...and this, I do not have, and it is
outside the scope of what I need.

Does anyone else do this or have an idea?

Thanks
Carey

Coordinate with purchasing, receiving and A/P. When you purchase the items
being drop shipped referrence the SO number on the PO. When the goods are
received in against the PO, also have the shipment processed against the SO.
See below:

Customer Direct Shipment Processing
Customer Service Department:
1. Create Sales Order (See Creating Sales Order Procedure).
a. Ship Via should “Direct Shipment”
2. Print Sales Order Acknowledgement and forward to Shipping/Receiving
Department.
3. Submit Purchase Requisition to Purchasing Department with a copy of
the Sales Order Acknowledgement.

Purchasing Department:
4. Place order according to requisition. In no instances should the
order be placed without a copy of a Sales Order Acknowledgement.
a. Ship To should be the Customer location.
b. Note the Sales Order number in the comment field.
2. Forward Purchase Order and Requisition to the Shipping/Receiving
Department and Accounts Payable Department.

Shipping/Receiving Department:
1. Accounts Payable Department will forward a copy of the invoice when
received.
2. Pull the PO from the open file.
a. Process the PO receipts.
3. Pull the Sales Order Acknowledgement referenced on the PO.
a. Process the customer shipment. Note: process the vendor receipt
first.
i. Include freight from vendor invoice in freight out charge.

Accounts Payable Department:
1. Identify customer direct shipments from reviewing the POÂ’s ship to
information and comments.
2. Forward a copy of the vendor invoices for customer direct shipments
to the Shipping/Receiving Department for processing.
3. Enter the vendor invoice.

We create a Job for the Sales Order, and cut the PO against that Job.
We add a "PP" suffix to to job number to indicate it's for Purchased
Parts. When we receive notification the parts have been drop shipped,
we receive the PO, cut the packing slip against the SO to close it, and
complete the job.
This is the only way we've come up with to tie SO to PO, but we find it
gives us the visibility we need.
We're on 6xx; not sure if there's a different/better way available in
v8.

Carey,

We have our customer service department who places the PO with the vendor to
be drop shipped send what we call a manual packing slip that is to be faxed
back to us at time of shipment. When it is faxed back the customer service
rep who placed the order pulls the PO and the sales order acknowledgement
and then enters the receipt from the vendor and the shipment to the
customer. The paperwork is then forwarded to accounting for A/R and A/P for
invoicing.

Jim
