As the contrarian of the group, I don’t particularly care for the double stub check. Why?
Its main purpose is to support a manual filing system.
It wastes check stock if the number of invoices exceeds the more limited space.
Checks are a waste of paper, postage, time, and are not as secure as people believe.
At my first Vantage implementation, I was working on the double stub Crystal report and the AP Clerk said, “Nevermind. I just run the checks and make a copy on the copier. I don’t have to burst them anymore and the full sheet files nicer than those stubs.”
She changed my mind forever. In a time of Industry 4.0, why not promote process transformation instead of “doing things the way we always did it”?
Because I (and I have to assume most of us here) are out-ranked by the aging CFO who has his/her system they’ve been using for 40+ years… and we have more important issues to contend with.
… not saying you’re wrong. I’m just taking the win of getting the CFO into Epicor and out of his dos-based software. I’ll eat that elephant eventually.
No doubt. Conway’s Law is strong. Sometimes when confronted with the extra costs of their solutions, a CFO can be swayed. Usually about as often as the Chicago Cubs win a World Series, which is only once in a century.
rdl attached. We are using a custom RDD with it, though to be honest at this point I don’t remember what we changed. Probably just adjusted column exclusions.
We use a epicor username and password per workstation on the floor. Each work station also only uses one Employee ID for MES. We do not have logins for each and every employee.
per se, but, we’re loosing it, for sure!
