RE: Editing info in IM when using EPDM -- MAPICS-L

Jeff,

I have tracked it down to a security issue of sorts. The company I am
working for has a policy of only accountants can see costs so they had the
guy working on Browser go in and secure cost fields and turns out he secured
everything that had any kind of dollar value showing at all.

As I thought (that will teach me) that I was handling security it threw me
for a bit. 

Thanks Jeff and everyone for your help.

   Bill, im a little baffled, either you have ;

   1. a security issue

   2. EPDM is not loaded on the client, just browser ??

    

   or 3.  you had a problem with migration, or are experiencing a bug

    

   sorry i can thelp you more....sounds like a technical issue,  im just a
   lowly consultant....helping people to use mapics. 

    

   On the subject of EPDM use, I do have several classes / workshops on the
   use of EPDM, and COSTING in the brave new world of EPDM....let me know if
   that is something that might interest you..... Ive done these for a
number
   of accounts and can give ref upon request (email me off line)

   Jeff,
   Thanks for the reply.
   Could you tell me where we would do this maintenance at. MAPICS will not
   let
   us maintain in either Green Screen or Browser. My first impression is
that
   some modification has been made to maybe block this and if I know where
   its
   supposed to be done at I can track it down and fix it.
   FYI, this implementation is a major multi-site, multi-national roll out
   and
   we are the first site that has it. There have been mods done to it
(before
   I
   came on board) so part of my job is to help de-bug it.
   Thanks
   Bill Wolf

   Bill,
   If EPDM is installed and activated, all item, rtn and BOM maintenance
   is performed in EPDM.
   @ rel 6.0 the old itemas A,B, and C records still exist for use by Pur,
   IM, and COM.
   In EPDM you can perform an initial release to PDM for Adds, or any other
   time by accessing the maint tab from the item rev icon.
   Once an item is released, it should 'auto' sync from that point on.
   There is a new file ITMREL that is keeping track of items to be synced.
   Check to make sure the item in question is in this file, if not try to
   re-release it to PDM.
   You should be able to perform maint in EPDM, even if you are not
   activated, but just installed, and maybe have run a migration, for
   testing, training in EPDM, with no desire to sync to PDM.
   Hope this helps

   Hello all,
   Been lurking the list for awhile and learned a lot but actually have a
   question to ask now.
   All my experience has been with green screen MAPICS and no EPDM or
   Browser.
   I am now at a company that uses EPDM and Browser and it's a bit confusing
   to
   this old dog.
   We have Standard costs that are showing up in the Item Master that we
   don't
   want there. The costs we want are in Item Revision but all Browser drill
   downs are getting info from Item Master.
   If we try to edit them using IM it says "E AM-4966 Use EPDM functions to
   perform maintenance" when we go to EPDM all that is available is offline
   load features. In Browser it says this information is not maintainable.
   Question is how do we maintain this information? Any ideas, suggestions,
   and/or good jokes would be appreciated.
