Frideas! 10/18/2024

On Friday, it’s EpiUsers Frideas Day! Have you been to the Epicor Ideas Portal recently? If so, are there some ideas you want to encourage other users to vote for? Maybe want to add comments to an existing idea?

Going to kick this off with four of my Ideas I’m trying to get votes for.

Add Truck/LTL “Accessorial” Fields for shipments

Add Broker, Intermediate Consignee, fields for International shipments

For finance, ability to reconcile freight actual costs to quoted

Quick Ship ability to customize reports dataset like Kinetic RDDs

I have a couple too:
Make it easier to manage the layers/menu items

This one is older but NEEDS MORE VOTES:
Make it easy to add fields to landing pages. This is still so so problematic and one of the biggest missed potentials of kinetic.

Since this came up recently, let’s formalize credit card purchase payments/reconciliation.

Formalize Credit Card Purchasing | 5642

As many companies use credit cards for purchases for various reasons (buyer protection, points, cash back, etc.), formalizing this process will support the companies that use cards for purchasing without it feeling like a “hack.” Extend the Expense Entry program to indicate whether a purchase was done with a company credit card vs an employee’s card and handle the payment appropriately.

Maybe we could finally also say, “Epicor. It’s everywhere you want to be.”

@aosemwengie1, do you mind expanding on this one? Are you looking to see what menus INCLUDE a specific applied layer? Or are you looking for controls within a layer? Not overly well versed in customizing Classic, I may not know what I’m missing since I pretty much started my customizing with all my eggs in the Kinetic basket.

When I am in application studio, I want to have a simple way to get from a single published layer to see where it exists on the menu. So whether thats a button, right click > open with that executes a menu search, a slideout, or whatever.

I think Epicor is going to say, that is what the upgrade configuration dashboard is for. But it doesn’t actually tell you the right answer about what is on the menu. And it doesn’t show you where it is on the menu.

They may also say, build it. But application studio home is one of the screens we do not have the ability to customize ourselves.

Just for spits and giggles, I threw an EDI one in…something we ran into during implementation. Kinetic didn’t have base functionality for several documents (routing, POS, pricelist)…so it took time and money to build inside and outside of Kinetic.

I know there aren’t a lot of ECM Users here, but those who aren’t you never know you may (should :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) be in the future and I am sure you will agree this is a must. It would certainly be useful to me. Please give it a vote!

I can get behind that one!

Voted for that one!

I’ve worked for a company that had to deal with big box stores. It was a huge PITA to get all the EDI demands fulfilled.

Yep…very difficult. Maps and versions and required segments/elements will change from partner to partner…that’s to be expected.

The issue here is that there’s no hooks within Kinetic to store the inbound and/or generate the outbound.

And we won’t even talk about ASNs - they’re the dirt worst. :slight_smile:

I know this doesn’t cover all aspects of the Idea but Epicor have accepted a Problem for Job Tracker where UD field data is not displaying in landing page.

PRB0269632 AppStudio: In Kinetic Job Tracker, UD Data displays in the Details Panel, but not in the Landing Page.
