Dina,
We're on 6.1, but I'm assuming it's still very similiar - I updated mine with no problem, and it's working fine.
If you'd like, she can call me & I'll help her through it.

We are doing the first pay for the year in Vantage 5.2. Our payroll department is not sure how to enter the new Medicare for the EE. She said she set up the tax as a table in Vantage. But she said it is not calculating it correctly. How did everyone else handle this? I am sure, she is not the first to ask this question. :) HELP - payroll is due today

Subject: [Vantage] Re: E9 Maintenance Module

I'm also just starting to implement but in a multi-plant environment.
With Maintenance Operations having to reference Resources, the Equipment
(location) resources are plant specific. However, the people resource of
a 'Maintenance Crew' or 'Maintenance Tech A' in our case needs to be
able to work in any of the plants where they happen to be needed that
day.

Support has no suggestions, anyone else run in to this?

point. There are two critical areas that were not very well thought out
at all. The first is components, where you list individual
parts/assemblies/or major subcomponents of a larger or main piece of
equipment. Some genius thought it would be a good idea to design it so
you had to tell the component its parent equipment ID, now you are hosed
if this is a component that is common across more than one piece of
equipment. Say you had a spindle drawbar on a vertical machining center
used across several machine tools... you can only establish it under
one! The other lackluster feature is in scheduling. In order for it to
block out production time in the schedule when the machine is being used
for preventative or reactive maintenance you have to tie the resource
which is tied to the equipment ID directly to the maintenance operation.
This sounds reasonable at first, but instead of the software just
looking through the equipment ID on the job and the resource tied to the
equipment ID in the set up, you now have to create an operation per
piece of equipment. So if you have 70 pieces of equipment, you have to
have 70 operations to cover this (and for each type of operation you may
want). The really irritating this is, if you have say 3 production
machines, they are all the same, you'll have to have 3 separate
operations (all identical save for the different resources tied to
them). In my mind this will be a nightmare for maintenance guys to keep
straight... That's what I've found so far... Over all this is a pretty
new module for them, and as a result is a bit more shallow than you'd
think given the demos you probably saw.
