Multi-Plant Enhancement Request 6529ESC - Please Sign On

Not sure how many of you are on Multi-Plant in version 8 and are using MOMs that have operations in more than one plant. If you do, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when you update to E9.

In version 9, you need a separate MOM and part number for each plant's set of operations. We may be unusual in that we have 4 plants within 15 miles of each other and many parts can go back and forth between plants. If a part just goes to another plant and back I need three different part numbers and three different MOMs.

Epicor says the enhancement request 6529ESC has been approved but since only our company and one other are signed on it's a pretty low priority to get fixed.

What puzzles me is I can't find out if they broke it by mistake going from 8 to 9 or if it was intentional.

Consider this an appeal to all of you to please add your company to Enhancement request 6529ESC. Here's the text:


SUGGESTED ENHANCEMENT:
Resource Groups should be available to be used on different plants than the one the resource group was created for same as the operations

PURPOSE:
They have methods of manufacturing that requires to be processed in different plants so one subassembly should be processed in plant A which is the plant the job was created for but subassembly 2 requires the process to be completed on plant B with an specific Resource group, but this Resource group cannot be selected in plant A as it was created in plant B so the option used on the operation for Available in this plant check box should be applied on the resource group as well

CURRENT WORKAROUND:
They create Job to job receipts to work on different plants and complete the MOM

Thanks,

Greg
