Sales Order with thousands of Releases

Miller Knoll used Baan, might still use it

It is interesting that you bring up Miller Knollā€¦The Sales Order that I am having these issues with is for Miller Knoll.

They still do, although it is now called Infor 10 ERP.

Infor - the ERP collector.

Jason, so what are you doing now to handle this requirement?

I have a dashboard that I built for adjusting sales orders for a customer that had 100+ line orders, but not 9K of releases. This is the 10.2.400 version of it. It still runs the backend processes, but maybe not updating the sales entry screen will shave off enough time.

It is faster if you uncheck ready to process before you start.

@utaylor The addresses should be not to hard with a ubaq with an advanced update that does not trigger all of the SO calculations and put them in the OTS fieldsā€¦ The quantities would be harder, but after updating the release quantities calling PreOrder or setting ready to calc true should update the whole order once.

There is a method SetCalcQtysPref which might stop all of the recalcs if it was false, but there is no comment with it about what it does.

I have a ubaq that we use to create jobs that they paste in from excel and I make jobs from it. You could do the same with the addresses and quantities. Still excel to begin with, but you would get to use shipping and invoicing in Epicor.

Yes, this type of requirement screams custom interface.

It would be nice to have something built in that could handle this out of the box with grace, but thatā€™s a tough ask, hopefully they come up with something.

In the meantimeā€¦ :slight_smile:

@utaylor - Currently the CSR that manages the MK account struggles with the trials and tribulations of processing this SO. We are going to be splitting it off into another SO that can begin to grow/accumulate over time like the existing one did, and in 2 or 3 years time we will go ahead and repeat the process if we are still running into this issue.
