Engineering Workbench

Hello group!

We are planning on upgrading from version 5.0 to 5.2 this weekend. I just
ran across the "engineering workbench". We have about 6 people who update
the BOM on a daily basis. They also add the BOM for new parts. I was
wondering how others are using the groups in the workbench. I'm thinking
about adding a group for the three different areas that make changes,
Engineering, production and production in our laser department. I'm
assuming we can check out parts to the different groups then make the
changes in the workbench and then check them in after approving the
revision.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

For those of you who are using the Q.A. module, I am looking for a response
to the generation of NCR reports. We are anticipating purchasing the module
this week, but the only set back is that we are use to creating a
Non-conformance report for each incident. Epicor has suggested utilizing
Report Builder to create the report. How are any of you handling this if at
all?

Appreciate any feedback you have

That's funny, Epicor Support now wants us to solve problems with Report
Builder.
I thought the last thread on the list said Epicor Support said to use
Crystal?

Anyway:

I have created a Report Builder Report to do this.
It's a little wacky but here is what I did.

Master Table = DMRHead
Link to NonConf using company and DMRNum
Link to DMRCorAct using company and DMRNum

You can add tables using outer joins from here for example if you want to
get more than the clock number you will have to do a Left Outer Join from
DMRCorAct to EmpBasic using company and point AsigndTo to EmpID.

The report only works in my case if a corrective action is filled out.

Record Lines are for each nonconformace for this DMR.

I control each type using conditional print lines based on nonconformance
types:

IIF(TrnTyp = 'F','First Article',IIF(TrnTyp = 'D','WIP',IIF(TrnTyp =
'I','Inventory',IIF(TrnTyp = 'M','Job Material', IIF(TrnTyp =
'S','Subcontract', IIF(TrnTyp = 'P','Purchase Order',IIF(TrnTyp =
'O','Other','Unknown!')))))))


In the summary section of the report I print:

Problem Analysis: (Which is DMR Header Comments)

Action Taken to Correct Lot: (Which is Corrective Action / Action Comments)

Action to Prevent Recurrence: (Which is Corrective Action / Root Cause
Comments)
