High volume businesses using per 1,000

Patrick,
I totally agree with all the items below, plus the maximum sales
order
line quantity of 9,999,999, of course there is a work around,
we are adding multiple 9 million lines to the orders,
but we still have some orders that have ???????????'s
instead of a quantity and every time we open the order,
an error pops alerting us that Vantage cannot
support this large quantity. We created some of this
at the beginning. I know the solution, close the orders
and create new ones... but these are blanket orders.

Eunice Corral

We are a high volume manufacturer coming off JobBoss. We have an
issue with the fact that qty/parent field only goes to 5 decimal
places. We are thinking of trying to use Vantage with a unit of
measure of per 1,000 to compensate for the limted number of decimals.
Is anyone else using per 1,000? If yes, what are the pros and cons?
Hey, I'm glad to see another High Volume/Repetitive manufacturing company in
vantage land speak out. I feel your pain.

I hope to persuade Epicor to have a focus group for us.

I dream of a page in the Epicor eManufacturing brochure "High
Volume/Repetitive Manufacturing."

Seriously Epicor has done a great deal to accommodate "High
Volume/Repetitive Manufacturing." without recognizing it specifically. But
their is still work to be done:

Repetitive Manufacturing:
*) Company Configuration: Starting PO 5 digit limit., Starting Order number
5 digit limit.
*) Sales Analysis Report maximum quantity 9,999,999.99. (Should be at least
999 trillion).
*) BOM Qty Per Parent field limited to 5 decimal places. (I could live with
eight)
*) Transfer to a single bin then ship to clear up multiple line items for a
single part on a packing slip.
*) Shopvision/Scheduled Shipments - Radio Set for (Firm/NotFirm/Both)
releases.
*) Reacknowledge a sales order and skip voided and complete releases, option
to skip not firm needed also.
*) TimePhase Screen should be layed out like time phase report. (Why are
they different?)
*) TimePhase doesn't subtract out job shipments.
*) Purchase Orders for Subcontracted PO's need to add days out to today's
date not the operation scheduled start date. (This is the only way to make
Vendor Delivery Performance work.)
*) Job Tracker / Operations Browse: Total Cost Column and Cost per each is
needed.
*) Quote Tracker / Operations Browse: Total Cost Column and Cost per each is
needed.
*) No system for standard packaging quantity and odd packed amount. (Kind of
like dimensional inventory in reverse.)

We are a high volume manufacturer coming off JobBoss. We have an
issue with the fact that qty/parent field only goes to 5 decimal
places. We are thinking of trying to use Vantage with a unit of
measure of per 1,000 to compensate for the limted number of decimals.
Is anyone else using per 1,000? If yes, what are the pros and cons?
