Part Where used customization

Hi,
I am making a customization to Part Where Used, which can be accessed when you right-click a part number in Epicor. I have made the customization I need, but I don’t know where I can set my customization to be the default from Menu Maintenance.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Look at this context menu maintenance for Part.PartNum. The Part Where Used dbd will be pointed at a specific menu item, and if you customize that one, it should pull up. Make sure you also apply the customization anywhere else that dashboard exists.

I got to this screen but not there is no menu ID called Where_Used_Active in the menu maintenance. I also queried ice.Menu for this.

Ah, someone created a custom process and that’s what you’re seeing. Go to Process Calling Maintenance. I created one just like yours, but I tied it to a receipt entry screen for ease of use.


The Menu ID associated with this Called Process Reference is where you’ll want to apply that customization. Going back to Context Menu Maintenance, I added a new Context Menu item and named it like yours. Then I hand typed in my custom process ID

Now, when I go to a Part and right click on Part Num, I see it as an option;

When I click it, it loads up Receipt Entry for me, just as I defined it in the Process Calling Maintenance.

TL/DR; go to Process Calling Maintenance to get your Menu ID associated with that custom process.

Am I supposed to find some custom process calling or am I supposed to create one? Because I actually didn’t see anything when I clicked Load Custom Processes :cry:

What happens if you just type it in to the Called Process Reference?

So when it came up it is all greyed out and I would have to click new to put information in. When I right click on Custom Processes and select New Process Entry, nothing came up. Very odd.

Hmm I hope I’m not leading you astray. When I look at mine, after loading Standard Processes like you did, I see there is a Process called Where_Used, but nothing called Where_Used_Active, which is why I believe(d) it’s a custom process.


But, I don’t know everything so perhaps I am incorrect and maybe there is a version of E10 where there is a standard process called Where_Used_Active?

Menu ID BMMN4050 is still tied to the same assembly that runs the WhereUsed program.

I went to the menu maintenance and it did not find the customization. It also looks like it runs a different program.

Maybe this will help. This is the information of the customization:

Isn’t that Context menu Maintenance?

nope.

@Banderson do you have a standard process called Where_Used_Active? It looks to me like a custom process, but OP is not seeing custom processes. I’m not sure if it’s just not in my environment

In part entry it’s here. It’s stock.

I went to order them by name and did not see it in standard either

Hmm so it’s not standard and it’s not custom?

But it doesn’t show everywhere, so I’m wondering if it’s coded into the form.

@Aaron_Moreng can you right click on something in part entry and see if it’s there?

It does appear when I click on the Part Entry part num, but not all PartNums have that option. What’s interesting to me is that OP has a process ID called Where_Used_Active but cannot find the menu ID associated with it

It is on Action menu of part entry and part tracker and also under Executive Analysis

Executive Analysis>Trackers>Part Where Used

I believe there’s a version of Part Where Used that comes with the Shop Vision module. If you’re not licensed for that module then… @Aaron_Moreng, does the Menu Item begin with SV?
