Subject: [Vantage] Re: Unit Of Measure Conversion Tool
Hi,
Do you already have the media?[SC] Yes and we are attempting a test
conversion. I was trying to anticipate the results as much as possible
prior to pushing the button on the UOM conversion. Failing that I will go
forward and simply see what happens. As you are aware, previous versions
did not a have a verification of UM (anything is allowed). As a result of
course we have a total of 80 or so "unique identifiers" some of which are
typos (numbers, dots, slashes, you name it). Others are valid but
duplicated e.g. BO, BX, B, all to represent Box
If so, I found a test install/conversion to be the most helpful so far. My
conversion choices provided "interesting" results.
After that, a really nice thing I found in 9 is the expanded online help.
Epicor has embedded some nice PDF files. This help file on the UOM is
extensive.
There is also a thread of mine on this forum that is only a few weeks old
about the UOM conversion. I received some nice advice from users.
I wouldn't expect too much from Epicor unless you want to pay.[SC] That's
what frustrating I do pay for "contract maintenance" which is really just
the media - support is for all intents and purposes, nearly non-existent.
I also opened a UOM conversion support case with them.
Their response was mostly limited to the oft suggested "contract a
consultant".
