OK… I got a one day head start, but since the Kinetic product team is currently going through our “grooming” process for Kinetic 2025.1, we are looking at some of the ideas that are out there that can be put into this next release.  
THIS idea to [Enhance MRP Urgent Planning](https://epicor.ideas.aha.io/ideas/ERP-I-1518) is one near and dear to my heart since:

1. I created it
2. the date I created it was my last day as a consultant, just before I migrated into Product Management.
3. I feel it could make a huge impact on many customers.

Read it… understand it… and if you agree with it… vote on it 😉

I’m going to make another plug for this one:

[Improve error message handling for errors with Correlation IDs](https://epicor.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KIN-I-4228)

Its frustrating not being able to look up the exact error (coming from on-prem).

The aha Ideas platform in general is pretty great. We may look at implementing it for our continuous improvement process internally.

These two should should be pretty easy:

- [Make Icon for complete material on a job a green checkmark not a yellow circle.](https://epicor.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KIN-I-5095)

- Add a [Supplier Established Date](https://epicor.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KIN-I-5311) field

well…you would THINK that this would be easy (it WAS scheduled for 2024.2)… but it turns out that when we tried, the system performance went really bad. The reason is that in order to show the green checkmark, we have to do additional queries against each line and then change graphics, and this became a bad performance item, and we undid the change. We have not given up, but for now, we are not doing this.

I think the idea you refer to was related to automatically adding the data, as desitinct from tracking when the relationship was established. If you were importing suppliers from another system you may want to include that historical data.

Then these two should be merged as I linked to an existing idea @timshuwy . I did not create either one.

😲 Well in that case, is @Hally’s sub-idea of a tool tip a possibility?

Hi @timshuwy , could you elaborate why the extra queries are necessary? Why isn’t it as simple as updating the .svg file for a complete material?

I may not have fully understood the problem nor explained it correctly… that said, I know that one of our best programmers was on this, and he built it but found that performance was not good. It is our goal to not negatively affect performance for something achievable in a different manner. Like i said, we have not given up… just deferred it.

@timshuwy Can I get your input on this? I’ve not experienced this one before. I assume it’s one of those ‘internal’ Ideas that it’s been merged with, and that’s why I cannot see it.

Predictive search is big game changer to be able to just type in a part and retrieve it based on “Contains” logic. I have a customer that has built their whole sales model around this capability.

I just got the rejection from development on predictive search today.

We have updated the functionality **to align with the classic application** as part of this ticket: `https://epicor.atlassian.net/browse/ERPS-238143.` As it is working as expected, we are rejecting this issue.

**This is a big step backward for Epicor** - the fix is just put it back in, as it is working fine in 2023.2

I have put in an idea to keep it.
