Most is being handled manually.
with about 4 exception reports run at the end of the day.
Most labor and material problems are caught here.
Also, on MES, we have a BPM that pops up an alert if Completed qty is greater than job qty. This fixed most material qty problems.
Too much at least.
There is still a problem with an autoreceive operation being completed without all the materials bring issued. We rely on daily exception reports for these too. (I was told by Epicor there was no way to prevent these with a BPM but... that was a long time ago).
Please let me know if you find better solutions...
