I have asked Epicor about this and was told it was not possible, so I am curious if anyone has a workaround for this.
We have a single shop floor user account that everyone uses for the mobile scanners. User Name MES:
So we have had several requests since go live on one of our customizations about the Employee ID field coming over blank for all part transactions done with the scanners. It works as expected when a terminal is used, but the scanner transactions do not seem to populate the employee ID field we are using for trackability reports.
Epicor’s solution is to create more user names (Which, of course, costs more money monthly). Due to the cost, we have just been living without it. But now that we have been Live for over a year, we have some issues not having access to this information.
Does anyone have any experience writing something to help get this information? We know they are entering their employee ID when they log in, so the data is there. I was thinking a data directive might work but in our testing we cannot get the data from the scanner we need.
