MES Receipt Entry

FYI from Epicor CAM

You do need the Advanced Material Management module to do inventory management from MES terminal. He mentioned that the cutoff to justify the cost of the module is usually when about 4 users are taking up full office licenses to do nothing but move inventory around. The cheaper MES licenses plus the module cost are justified in the savings by not buying full office user licenses.

We're on version 8.03.408b and don't currently use MES but are looking to implement. Everything under the shipping/receiving tab is greyed out, regardless if I clock in, start an activity, etc. I have checked Shipping/Receiving defined under Production Mgmt > Job Mgmt > Setup > Shop Employee. Do we perhaps not license a required module? What am I missing?

The end goal is to setup an MES terminal at the receiving dock so an employee can do a Receipt Entry from there.
Thanks,
Jared

Not positive but pretty sure you need the Advanced Materials Management module (AMM) to do that from MES

Mark may be correct on that, but also check the shop employee setup, you need to have the employee designated as a material handler for that tab, and there is also a check box to authorize shipping and receiving transactions as well. We do have AMM and those boxes have to be checked otherwise they appear grayed out on the MES station. Though Im not positive AMM is a requirement, but that would be difficult for me to verify.

We happen to have 8.03.305k without AMM and 8.03.409 with AMM. Without AMM, the material movements including shipping, etc. are blocked out.

I have verified that all the settings are checked under Shop Employee, so the consensus seems to be AMM is necessary. Can anyone absolutely confirm this before I call my CAM?

Other than training and limiting access to the more dangerous menu items, it there anything else I should be aware of if I give a shop level employee access to normal Receipt Entry?
Thanks,
Jared
