I thought that the upgrades from ie 8.03 to 8.04 are free, but I am
under the impression that Vantage 8.03 and Epricor 9 are two totally
different products therefore we would have to buy Epicor 9 form scratch.
Does anyone else know any more info?
Please tell me Im wrong if I am wrong! :-)
Does anyone know if we can move from vs 8.03 to Epicor 9 for free?
Cheers,
CHRIS THOMPSON

Chris,
Sorry, I don't have a magic fix for a V8 solution. You mention that you
have not yet gone live with v8 - why would it cost a fortune to proceed
with v9? Software is free - expense would be delta training, which for
the most part may be only be for new functionality that you wish to use,
such as the National Account improvements. Attached are a couple of
screen shots - depending on how close your go-live is - have a more
detailed look at v9 before proceeding.
Thank you,

Hi Justin,
Sounds great, but we haven't even gone live with 8 yet!
It would appear that Epicor are pretty much walking away from Vantage 8
and show little/no intentions of fixing some of the very annoying
'features'.
Any got got any other suggestions that doesn't involve us spending a
fortune?
Cheers,
CHRIS THOMPSON

Upgrade to Epicor 9 where you can control how the credit is applied,
meaning that you can choose whether or not you want child to be part of
the national account credit pool or not.

Hi All,
I need to create a link between Customers. Basically, we need it to act
exactly like the Parent/Child functionality in Vantage 8.03, but we do
not want the customer credit limits of the children to be dependant on
the parent's credit limit.
We deal with several companies where the Parent companies have hundreds
of child companies. The child companies buy form us regularly but the
parent never buys from us.
If we had a parent with 20 children each with a $1000 credit limit, we
would have to assign a $20,000 credit limit to the parent company.
Therefore, this means that only one of the child companies could spend
all of the $20,000 meaning they have in effect a $20,000 limit.
They should only have a $1000 limit / child company.
To make matters worse, most of our customer parent companies aren't even
in the same currency.
For example, the parent company may be in Europe and may buy from us in
Euros, whilst some of the children are in the US and buy from us in $.
I still can't get into my head why Epicor do it this way, but apparently
it is "functioning as designed".
Does anyone know how to "work-around" this so we can link companies and
display which companies are linked to other companies on the Customer
Maintenance screen?
Regards,
CHRIS THOMPSON
