We have a Quick Search created for PartNum that appears as the default search wherever there is a Part search button/functionality, whether in a Classic screen or a Kinetic screen. Except in the Kinetic version of BOM Listing Report, it is not the default and we have to click a couple of different things within search to get to it. The Classic version of this report did not have this issue.
I checked more than a dozen native reports (in Kinetic UI) that have a Part field in the Filter options; all of them opened our part quick search by default and allowed for selection of multiple parts.
I opened a case with Epicor about this and their final answer to me is that this is by design, that it is a personalization, and each individual user will need to go and set that Quick Search as the default within BOM Listing Report for it to be the default.
We donāt have to do this for all of the other screens and reports (native or not), so I pushed back on that answer, but they are sticking to it. I am here to ask the real experts if they are correct or if I need to press them that this is a bug within this particular application?
I havenāt, because I donāt want it to suppress the base. There are certain places (New PO Suggestions, for example) where we have to use the base search rather than our generic quick search in order to get the correct results.
I suppose Iāll give that a go in Pilot just for troubleshooting purposes and something more to go back to Epicor about if itās still showing the base search by default.
When you select āsuppress baseā, you get an option button on the search itself for ābase searchāā¦ so it becomes a question of which way will annoy fewer people?
Oh, interesting. Itās been my understanding that āSuppress Baseā meant that it hid that āBase Searchā button from the users. Definitely going to play around with it now.
Suppress Base does hide the Base Search button and it doesnāt default the Part search in BOM Listing Report to the quick search rather than the Base search. Interestingly, if you have a Named Search (in Classic) set up off the base search and saved as the default search in a particular screen, that saved base search appears rather than the quick search even with the base suppressed.
Iāve pushed back on support that there is a bug in the BOM Listing Report, because the steps they gave me to set the quick search as default was to open the search and then select Quick Search from the Search Type dropdown, but the only options Iāve got are Basic and Data Tags.
