Thinking Out of the Box

I would counter by asking what "Business Problem was solved" by removing the
information from the report.

My production schedulers are still aggravated that the option to breakout Setup
and Production was removed from the Shop Load Report (I believe during the
conversion to 3.0). That was in INCREDIBLY beneficial feature that was removed.

Ok, I feel better now...

However......... Epicor will remove functions that are built
into 'reports' without asking any opinions. Such as.... removing the
total number of parts that are on a Sales Analysis Report. As noted
by Vantage:

RE: Call 673397PSC RE: Call #651506PSC

"At this time there are no plans to add the Qty Shipped Group Total
and the Qty Shipped Report Total back into the Sales Analysis
Report. Please provide the business problem that would be solved by
having the totals printed on the report. I will submit the
information to our Development Department. Please be as specific as
possible."

The key words are: 'back into'
