Re: EPDM implementation / other application questions -- MAPICS-L

Eric,

i have several customers using 'EPDM'

It is by far superior to PDM.

Biggest 'user' issues are" rev level control':

we use this to track BOM history, snap shot.

if, when one copies an item to another site the std, and curr 'cost' gets zeroed' the unit cost def remains.

also, if bumping rev levels will they perform a 'same as except' for previous revs.

'routing version' control:

also used to track rtn 'snap shots'

when bumping rtn version, be sure to update the 'item process' record when ready for release.

We use 2 sites to manage, 'ENG' and 'MFG'

hope this points you in a direction.

I am an independent consultant and would be happy to work with you through your first attempt, maybe a couple days of 'concepts' and 'workshops' would save you huge amounts of effort and cost.

let me know,

Jeff Snyder,   CPIM

Subject: EPDM implementation / other application questions
Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 20:41:15 -0800

To the list,
I am working with a client that is ready to implement EPDM.  Could anyone
who has already done this give me some feedback on what to look out for. How
much work did it take to migrate custom programs and queries to use the new
file structures - primarily the Items and BOMs?

Is it a "slam-dunk" converting the programs?  Just replace the files and
field names or did adding Site and Rev complicate it just a bit.  Is EPDM
pretty stable?  Are there any functions that do not exist in EPDM that did
in "green" PDM?

Application questions:
AM/Plus - is it completed to the point that ALL AR, AP and GL functions can
be done in the application - Cash Posting, AP Invoice entry and payments, GL
Journal and Reporting?  Can users be secured by Company?

AM/AR, AM/AP, AM/GL - I was told that these applications can now be secured
down to the company level in "green screen".  Did I miss this announcement?

COM/IM - Has anyone tried the Data Security on Warehouse or Company?  How
did that work for your company?  If I am not secured for a warehouse, does
it block me from Item Balance inquiries using that warehouse; or enter
orders against that warehouse/company?

All help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance...
Eric A. Wolf
