Tool Tracking

No, sorry - we havn't tackled tracking tooling at all yet. By the time we get to that project, maybe Epicor will have included a tooling managment module into the product. I know it was talked about as an option for the 5.0 release, but there may not have been enough customer interest for them to work on it yet.

Do you use the material salvage ability at all? This is the only way I have
found to issue a die then return it leaving some cost. Of course you have to
calculate the costs manually.

Problem:
I have roll thread dies that can run 500,000 pcs.
I list them as a BOM item but qty per is only 5 decimal places.
If my lot size is 500,000 qty per needs to be .000002
Does anyone have a work around for the 5 decimal limitation in the quantity
per field when creating a BOM?

Patrick,

We have a similar situation with the 5 decimal problem. There are only 2 ways I have found to get around this:

1. Set up BOM's as a "carton quantity" rather than single pieces. For example, if the part is packaged 1000 per carton, set up the BOM to require 1000 parts, 1 carton, and 1 label. Then there is nothing under "1" required. The bad part about this is then a 50,000 piece order is really for 50 cartons (not a feasable solution for made to order parts). Worked fine for us with a made to stock part.

2. Job creator must round these off. This is the solution we use now. The person who creates the jobs must be heads up enough to make the requirement a fixed 4 units for a 2,000,000 piece order - even though the BOM suggests 20 when rounded to .00001 rather than .000002.

Hope that helps,
