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?

Still trying to get this one… still painful having to start a search over and re-enter criteria each time.
Edit/Modify Search - KIN-I-4161
Currently there is no way to “Edit” or “Modify” a search.
Using Part Search as an example… let’s say I enter search criteria into the “Where Part Description Contains” field. I don’t get the results I’m looking for and want to make a small tweak to my search criteria.
All I can do is cancel the search and completely start over.
It would be nice to have a “Modify Search” button that re-opens the search panel with all the previously entered criteria which could be edited and re-submitted.

I don’t really know all of the icons for tools in application studio, so it would be nice to just have a dropdown list or something like that for all of the icons.

A lot of those are put in by @aosemwengie1 – Thank you for putting in so many good ideas for us all.
It would be interesting to have leader board on the ideas site. I wonder who has the most ideas, and the most implemented ideas…

None of the ones I linked are my own. I was going to do a separate post for mine so here we are! 
- Add carrier Accessorial fields (QS / Kinetic)
- Reconcile Freight Cost vs Estimate (QS / Kinetic) Perhaps this could be a new ECM automation?
- Add Broker (aka Intermediate Consignee) fields for international shipments (Kinetic/QS integration) QS has the fields but Kinetic does not
- QS ability to customize report datasets like Kinetic RDDs
Kadant has submitted the most ideas (114) AND their ideas have generated the most votes (1184)…
Also in alignment with that fact, they also have more ideas that have been delivered or in development than any other organization.
BUT percentage wise, while Kadant has more volume, there are several companies that stand out with the highest PERCENTAGE of ideas created that have been delivered (or in Dev)… Looking at customers who have submitted SIX or more ideas, PTI Engineered Plastics, and Pacific Research Labs have 71% of their ideas resulting in a solution…

Wow, thanks feeding my curiosity Tim!
Anyone on these forums work for Kadant??
My shameless plugs:
- Show buy to order (non-dropship) lines/components in fulfillment workbench so we know when everything is available for picking: BTO Sales Kit Components - Show in FWB | Epicor Ideas Portal
- Don’t schedule past due infinitely on finite scheduled resources: Finite scheduling and past due | Epicor Ideas Portal
- Sales kits and RMAs - allow returning parent item in RMA when not displaying components, provide better method to return them to stock: RMA sales kit parents | Epicor Ideas Portal
Thanks!

A newish one: build credit card purchasing into the system. Take the current suggestion and make commands for them: Add a Card, Reconcile Card, Make Card Payment. Integrate into Expense Entry when employees use company credit cards…

They honestly didn’t accept that as a bug?
Wasn’t this reportedly already in the works? I swear I heard that at Insights last year.
