Knowledge Exams for Customers

be able to take Epicor Exams and to be certified for Business Sectors/Epicor Versions as a customer.

Move planning contracts to be tracked in PartBin (table) instead of tying it to a specific “Bin”

It would make a lot more sense if once a planning contract is received it was tied to the PartBin record (like PCID / Lot / SerialNo do) this would allow you to move a particular “contract” around in the warehouses from place to place without issues.

Allow the selection of No Workstation from the home page drop downs

DMT: Add Supplier Shipment Class Indirect Costs

This template is sorely missing from DMT… if you have a lot of shipment classes you are SOL when it comes to adding in the indirects.

This has been a thorn in my side before and it’d be nice to see this fixed. Phantom Pack Details Part & Qty per Phantom

Provide more flexibility for cloud customers regarding upgrades? Every 6 months for a release is a lot, and the timing of the upgrade windows always conflicts with other projects we have. We don’t even get the nice to have latest dot updates.

Please give cloud customers more flexibility and do not charge for it.

Return any browser session information in Session Management

The desktop client returns the user’s computer name in session management. This is useful, it tells us what machine a user is at when they have questions or problems. It tells us if they’re working from a machine that isn’t in our managed inventory. It’s not much, but it’s a very useful bit of info.

Session management for browser sessions returns no information about how the user is accessing their session. Knowing some of the details about a browser session would also be useful. IP address tells us if they’re onsite or away. Useragent tells us what browser they’re using and if it’s up to date. Screen dimensions would help diagnose layout issues.


/edit… Just gonna put this one out here again. Not an easy ask but the subject never is if it’s done well.

Even if you don’t agree with the specific idea proposed, I think everyone can agree this needs a major rethink in kinetic. I have yet to find anybody who thinks its at all possible let alone practical to manage menu security given what has been done to menu maintenance. I do not have the time or resources to take on a major customization project just to make a basic tool usable, when it worked just fine in classic.

Put menu security BACK into menu maintenance

I for real remembered this and submitted early! I’m sure there’s a lot of work involved to review and approve everything. Or…?
