Part Revision control

Kinetic ERP

@rppmorris , sorry if I missed it, but are you trying it in the client or the web? And what version are you trying this in?

Hi @jkane,

Kinetic 2024.2.9 - Iā€™ve tried on both client and web but my CAM advised me I need to pay for this functionality.

I could have sworn it was standard functionality. What module are they saying you need to get?

What errors are you receiving when you try?

24

Iā€™ve been advised that Planning by Revision is a licenced module.

The odd thing for me on this enhancement.

I would propose this is standard / basic functionality that was missing from Epicor. Therefore, because it is so elementary Iā€™m surprised that Epicor have even considered charging for it.

But when you business vision and strategy is get a PO, then I understand.

This has come up before. It is definitely a module:

I canā€™t find the post right now, but I remember hearing the same sentiment.

Epicor has so many strengths - the software is functionally rich, the future roadmap is defined, the user community is active and strong.

And then youā€™ve got corporate.

As with most large entities, they forget the user base is their life blood.

Classing ā€œPlanningByRevisionā€ as a module is absolutely ridiculous in an ERP System touted as being a world leader in the Manufacturing space.

Ironically, Iā€™m not seeking this functionality for myself. It is for a Customer who went live last year on the back of my recommendations and multiple site visits. Iā€™m embarrased to go back and advise this is being bundled as a module and must be paid for seperately.

I spoke with some Epicor consultants this morning both Epicor staff and independents. I also spoke with a VAR.

All share my sentiments on this stance by Epicor classing this ā€œenhancementā€ as an additional module that must be paid for.

  1. Embarrassing
  2. Out of touch with Customer base
  3. Fitting with the current ā€˜corporateā€™ strategy - get a PO for everything.

Promoting Epicor as functionally the best fit for Manufacturing then selling Revision Control as an add-onā€¦laughable.

Hopefully when CD&R exit weā€™ll see a change in behavior.
