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?

Here are a few ideas related to the Kinetic BAQ Designer

Add ‘Percent’ as a possible data type in BAQs | Epicor Ideas Portal
Calculated Fields: Tiny box way down on the bottom right for Data and Functions is very hard to work with
BAQ Designer Calculated Fields: Make the Data/Functions box on the bottom right more usable | Epicor Ideas Portal
Tables rearranged automatically with no regard for table order
BAQ Designer: Make table rearrangement optional | Epicor Ideas Portal

MASS Change in Engineering Workbench: YEARS ago, I did a customization using an Updatable Dashboard that I embedded into the engineering workbench to allow for easy mass changes to the bills of materials and routings for all assemblies that have been checked out to the ECO Group. This allowed you to check out a bunch of assemblies, then view all the materials of all assemblies all at once, and filter them down… then change all the material X to material Y… or change the quantity, or change the hours on an operation, etc.
I submitted this as an idea back in 2020 when I was still a consultant. BUT it didn’t get enough votes and it expired.
Today, someone suggested something very similar, so I resurected the old idea, merged the two, and the new version of the idea is here: Log In - Epicor Identity
