Hi Joe,
Frankly, I hate to tell you this, but our biggest headaches with Epicor are due to 1. Serial numbers, 2. Multiplant manufacturing. Our problems dealing with multiplant are:
- transfer of subassemblies prior to supply job financial closing… causes accounting adjustments to be needed because inventory value not known at time of transfer.
- MRP not counting in-transit parts setup as transfer parts, thus making unneeded unfirm jobs and po suggestions to satisfy part that’s in transit
- alt methods not getting automatically selected for use by MRP when demand is on the alt method plant
- E10 method tracker not showing details of lower level parts that are manufacturing in another plant.
- E10 BOM not showing details of lower level parts that are manufactured in another plant.
- E10 not allowing lower level phantom parts to be pulled for jobs made in a different revision plant
I hope you are on E9 still. The E10 problems above did not exist for us on E9.
To date, (i.e., E10 go-live this past July 31 ) we have found many problems trying to deal with multiple revision plants since go live on 10.1. 600.5
