Is the implementation checklist not getting a kinetic app? This is in 2025.2, no sign of it yet. Anybody have access to 26.1CR and can check there?

Nothing in the CR.
The Parent (SUMN5000) doesn’t have SUMT6000… so, certainly not in the same location.
Nothing that matches the menu by Name.
And even searching by “Application Like” (CheckList)… I only get the CheckListTypeEntry apps:
That’s too bad. It was a handy little app. I guess I can build my own but not sure if the absence of the app means the tables are going to get removed too.
There’s.. an.. implementation checklist?

This reaction is probably why it didn’t get ported…
Is there a “wishing on a star” emoji we can add to the reactions here? That would round out the set.

Yeah, I mean, several implementations later and I first learned about it today when I learned it was going away. lol

the decision was made before my time at Kinetic Product Management, but I believe they reached out to customers and found that it had very little usage. It was something that was about 50% completed back 20+ years ago, but never fully implemented. Also, having an implementation checklist that doesnt move with the implementation database was problematic. I tried using it for several customers, but in the end, a good Project Management tool was better.

I think they main reason it did not get a lot of traction is that none of the consultants knew it existed and included it in the kickoff any project.
The other considerations because it was in the database, as soon as you copied live to another environment, any changes in that environment were lost.
Useful concept, would have been handy to have it plumbled for export/import to other project management tools.
For the most part customers/users are not software implementation specialists and having a tool to look at in the ERP has value. Of course just like anything they have to look at it, even being notified by some automation does not guarantee they will act on it. Take that and with day to day workload, implementations can be challenging.

WAYYYYYY better.
Well, I always found that having a tool inside epicor to be useful in certain cases, so I built my own. I like it because to test the thing they need to test all they have to do is click the link and it opens the app for them. Reduces the mental load and there is no other login to figure out/user account to set up.
