We are slowly replacing our older processes with Epicor-compatible processes. One of those is doing all of our requisitions in Epicor. Currently, someone writes the req on a piece of flattened tree carcass. Then it is hand-delivered to the guy that enters purchase orders. If it doesn’t get lost on t…

Kinetic 2024.1 Purchasing User Guide

Oh man, I have a laundry list of gripes about Reqs. Several new “features” have surfaced over the last month or two. We use Requisitions all the time, but they are rough. I’ll do a separate post tomorrow maybe. I do want to consolidate all of the pitfalls I have found. The one - ONE - advantage ov…

[image] NateS: This certainly doesn’t seem any easier. I wonder if we really need all this. this might not work for you guys, especially if youre a larger, stricter company than my previous employer, but as i mentioned: [image] Joe_Tahan: unlike many, we decided to skip the approval proc…
