OK, we now have an army of 4 companies, who do we contact at Epicor to get a
focus group?
Any other companies interested in this topic?

Patrick/Eunice,
We too have problems with not enough "spaces". Many orders in the multiple
millions.
We are also forced to run jobs in lots of only a single digit million which
is
unfortunate since our economical run size is much greater.
This is interesting to try to explain to executive management that our ERP
system won't handle (without workarounds or "procedures") our high volume
business! Talk about a tap dance!!!
I hope that with the number of high volume users now using the
eManufacturing
product that they will consider enhancing the software to be a better fit
for
us.

Patrick,
I totally agree with all the items below, plus the maximum sales
order
line quantity of 9,999,999, of course there is a work around,
we are adding multiple 9 million lines to the orders,
but we still have some orders that have ???????????'s
instead of a quantity and every time we open the order,
an error pops alerting us that Vantage cannot
support this large quantity. We created some of this
at the beginning. I know the solution, close the orders
and create new ones... but these are blanket orders.
