Hello,
Epicor currently checks to see if a duplicate of a UPC already exists. Unfortunately, we need to bypass this. Does anyone know of a way to bypass that check when saving Part UOM? I’m attempting to avoid adding a UD field in it’s place.
I’m sure we could figure out a bypass, but the question is, why does it do this, and if bypassing it causes unintended consequences.
You need to be sure.
What’s the business problem BTW?
We are implementing a new site and they use different part numbers to handle variation in the builds. We eventually want to convert this over to something like different revs or alternates and phase out the duplicates. But for the time being we want to get these items into the system and clean it up after our go live. We would eventually turn off this bypass.
One solution is to create a UD field on the part table. You could then use this for storing the UPCs for now and when you’re ready to migrate off of them to the standard field you could switch back.
That’s what I was worried about. Seems to me to be the only solution besides actually rolling up their sleeves to clean up the data. I suppose a temporary use of a UD field isn’t too much of an issue.
Thanks
Well with the GTIN (same screen) it is a one time warning.
So if you save the GTIN with a period on then end, then remove the period and save again you can use the GTIN on 2 parts.
I just tried this with a UPC code in Pilot and it worked.
