Have you looked at the mcp tool Epidev? It works with local models. I can’t stop telling people about it because its made such a huge difference to me. Might have saved my life becuase application studio makes me want to kill myself haha
We are using a software package from TCP-Fluent that is web based. It connects to Epicor via an API and then you define a bunch of Access Scopes to connect your data to the Fluent program. We are using it to automate our Account Payable. Now all we have to do is have our invoices from Vendors sent to a specific email address and the invoices are automatically uploaded to the Fluent web page. From there our Accounts Payable person checks the entries in Fluent to make sure all the data is correct. She can even view the invoice inside the application while she is checking the data. If everything looks correct she hits a Process button and everything is uploaded into Epicor. It automatically assigns the group inside of Epicor also. She then just has to go into Epicor and finish up her process. If she found any errors while still in Fluent, she can make corrections to the entries shown in Fluent so when she hits the Process button it uploads all the correct data into Epicor.
Fluent will also write tweaks for you that will automate anything you feel you want automated to make the process as smooth as possible.
They were one of the booths at Insights in Nashville. Great bunch of people to work with and they have proved that their software really works. They can also automate Accounts Receivable, Order Entry and other modules in Epicor also.
