Part Revisions in Multiplant

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:

  1. transfer of subassemblies prior to supply job financial closing… causes accounting adjustments to be needed because inventory value not known at time of transfer.
  2. 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
  3. alt methods not getting automatically selected for use by MRP when demand is on the alt method plant
  4. E10 method tracker not showing details of lower level parts that are manufacturing in another plant.
  5. E10 BOM not showing details of lower level parts that are manufactured in another plant.
  6. 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
