Master files priority list V8

Yahoo Archive

We are also thinking of data-entry for our conversion to 8.
Currently we have 6 years of info on ver 6.1 and much of it is obsolete.

We would appreciate it if anyone has a list of the sequence to ENTER data in tables for version 8.

We are doing the same here. You can mostly cut & paste from the
converted data including Chart of Accounts (once the division, dept, and
charts are in). Some of the more complex data need to be keyed in the
old fashion way: Customers, Suppliers (formerly Vendors), Parts,
Employees. We had a bit of trouble with the Product Group accounts not
copying over but otherwise the cut & paste worked great. Without any
transactions in the database, you can delete whatever you want, change
key fields and start fresh. So now is the time to clean all that up.



Epicor didn't have a list. Sorry I didn't keep a list either. We
started with the Company maintenance and went from there adding data as
necessary. You can start with each 6.1 Work Center being an 8.0
Resource Group but you may want re-evaluate based on your situation.
You can assign each machine as a separate resource or if the machines
are all the same (same burden, same capacity, etc), you can add a single
resource for each machine type and add scheduling blocks for each
machine.

Good morning,

We are testing V8 and we converted our data from 61 to V8 and notice issue with teh conversion rate in resources.
With that in mind we believe that it would be in our interest to key in all the info from scrash instead.
The problem is that we do not have a list of priority files that need to be done.
Ex: 1) The customer group file has to be done before the customer file.
2) The Chart of Account before the billing par tof the customer is done.

If anyone has a listing could you forward it to me.
Thank you

Our biggest problems have been installation issues which we are still
battling...
