On Wednesday November 14th, 2011 three members from the SaberLogic IT administration and website development teams, Justin Lyons, Justin Fields, and Nian Lew Yan Voon, donated some of their time for charity and participated in the first annual “Hack for Hunger” event. The event was held in Independence, OH and raised over $2,000 for the Cleveland Food Bank. The event challenged participants to search for vulnerable points on a network and then gain access. Once inside of the network, participants would attempt to search for hidden “flags”and then submit them for points. SaberLogic’s broad scope of networking, web development and database expertise allowed them to place third out of approximately 15 teams. Congratulations!
Overview
If you would like to restrict at a user level which users are allowed to post credit memos a very simple BPM can be established to control this. This is an example of the many practical ways simple BPMs can be utilized within Epicor to modify system behavior.
Installation Steps
1. Establish a new BPM on the InvcGrp.PrePostInvoices method at Pre-Processing.

We are excited to release another new product for Visual Manufacturing/Enterprise, called the Visual Data import. This application provides you with the ability to insert data directly to any Visual SQL database from a single Excel sheet. It is designed to simplify the process of transferring large amounts of data from one database to another or for initial load-up of data such as parts, customers, vendors, work orders, customer orders, engineering masters, purchase orders, inventory balances, etc.

Overview
In your “out of the box” Epicor installation the process of running a job through the system consists of the following (in a generic sense):
- Create the job
- Issue materials
- Receive quantities through each operation on the job
- Receive quantities from the job to finished goods when it has passed through the last operation
- Use Job Completion / Closing Maintenance to complete / close the job.
Epicor provides us with a process that can automate #5. This document describes how to set that up.

In Vantage 6 and earlier when you would click on a search button anywhere in Epicor (i.e. the ‘Customer’ button on Sales Order Entry) it would automatically pop-up a list of results. In Epicor 8 and above this behavior was changed by default to be a multiple-click process where you set up search criteria, hit the search button, and select from the results (if it is not within the first 100 returned you will need to page through the results). While this has added scalability for large databases, it can also be an inconvenience when you were used to the quick one-click behavior of Vantage. Fortunately, Epicor provides us with a way to restore this default behavior:
The first step is to open the form you would like to set the default value in using developer mode. When you are in developer mode select Tools -> Customization to bring up the customization dialog.

SaberLogic is pleased to release the new Enhanced Purchase Requisition Add Parts Functionality macro for Visual Enterprise. This customization supplements the ‘Add Purchase Parts from EM/WO/Project…’ feature in the Purchase Requisition module by automatically removing lines that are either (1) stocked parts, (2) requirements from legs that are not released, or (3) are already fulfilled on another Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order. The default behavior of ‘Add Purchase Parts from EM/WO/Project…’ blindly pulls in all requirements regardless of these considerations. The customization exists entirely as a native macro so installation is simply a matter of dropping into a directory and is compatible with all versions of Visual.
For more information, please visit the Enhanced Purchase Requisition Add Parts Functionality page or contact us today!

SaberLogic is proud to announce the release of the WIP Location Application for Visual Enterprise ERP. In standard Visual Enterprise there is a period in-between when materials are issued to a job to when they are received in as finished goods. There is no way to keep track of where the WIP components are in inventory, short of a work order setup that receives components into inventory and issues to a new job throughout the manufacturing process. In order to help address this, SaberLogic has developed the WIP Location Application which allows for ‘Containers’ to be created that are associated with inventory locations and can be moved from operation to operation.
For more information on this and our other range of extensions, add-ons and customizations for Visual Enterprise/Manufacturing, please visit our website or contact SaberLogic at 330-335-6442.

SaberLogic is pleased to announce a new add-on or extension for Visual Manufacturing/Enterprise. The Laser Cutting / Welding Automatic Run Calculations is a macro to auto-calculate the run time of laser cutting and welding operations. For laser cutting operations the calculation takes into consideration the material thickness, number of pierces, number of inches cut, and a material multiplier cross referencing a custom table that provides some standard values based on material thickness. For welding operations the calculation takes into consideration the material type, type of welding, material thickness, and inches of welding cross referencing a custom table that provides some standard values based on the material, weld type, and thickness.
