Purging Expired Price Sheets is only in Eterm. If you open it in Solar it will take you to Eterm automatically, so your user must have Eterm loaded.

I know we all have old price sheets that set out there forever; but there is a "Purge price sheets" available for housekeeping. Purging price sheet with old effect dates will also reclaim disk space.

To run the purge, you need to specify the following parameters:

• A cut-off date.
• The number of price sheet effective dates to keep regardless of the cut-off date.

Note:  Price sheets must meet both criteria before they will purge.

I.e. Price line "Delta" has a price sheet with the following three effective dates: 04/25/2006, 05/10/2007 and 04/30/2010.

• If you enter 01/01/2009 in the Purge Price Effective Dates Before field, and 3 in the # of Price Effective Dates to Keep field, the system does not purge any of the sheets because none of the existing price sheets meet both criteria.
• If you enter 01/01/2009 in the Purge Price Effective Dates Before field, and 2 in the # of Price Effective Dates to Keep field, then the price sheet with the effective date of 04/25/2006 will be purged.

Note: The number of days entered in the Purge Age (days) field on the Price Sheet Entry screen does not affect this purge routine when creating a new effective date.

 To purge expired price sheets:

• Solar - Maintenance->Merge/Purge-Purge Price Sheets (Eterm - F1 "U" "S")

 

The BARC BI 2014 Survey findings ranked Phocas on top in key areas in the visual discovery peer group including:

"Our strong performance in BARC BI 2014 demonstrates that Phocas is an innovative business intelligence software solution which continues to evolve and set the standard", Phocas Co- Founder Myles Glashier said.

 

"Our aim is to provide a simple BI tool that allows our customers to increase their profits, uncover new sales opportunities and make data driven business decisions. Our results in BARC BI 2014 are testament to the fact Phocas is returning excellent value to our clients".

 

Phocas Software's Mobile Business Intelligence tool was particularly successful, leading the field in both the ad-hoc reporting and visual discovery categories.

 

"We decided in 2012 to focus on creating an innovative and accessible mobile BI solution. We were quick to respond to the emergence of tablets in the marketplace and these results are indicative of our dedication to create a high performing mobile BI tool", Glashier said.

 

BARC's research found that "Phocas customers rate the tool very highly across a number of categories in The BI Survey 14, and are willing to recommend it even more frequently than users of rival data discovery products such as Tableau and QlikView".

 

Founded in 1999 in the United Kingdom by Chairman Paul Magee and Australian Myles Glashier, Phocas serves over 1,000 customers across the globe. In the 2013/2014 financial year, Phocas grew by 47% in the United States and by 20% in the Australian and United Kingdom markets.

Dear Uncle Frank,

 

                I recently started using the Bulletin Boards on the UFO website.  WOW!  I asked a simple question and had several experienced Eclipse users give me some great advice.  One 'veteran' even communicated privately to me with an extended explanation.

 

                I also used the Search feature to seek out topics and I found a lot of valuable information.

 

                However I was a bit upset with myself when one of my threads had a new posting but I did not see the response in a timely manner.  Is there some way for the Bulletin Board to reach out to me with new thread updates?

 

                'Short-Circuit' Mike from Chicago, IL

 

 

 

Dear Mike,

 

                I am happy that you 'discovered' the UFO Bulletin Boards.  With over 36,000 posts to more than 8,700 threads there is a tremendous amount of Eclipse knowledge available to you AND for all employees of UFO member companies.  As you have found out, the topics are organized by categories into Forums.  Often I will go to the Bulletin Boards first before contacting Epicor support when an issue arises or if I need more information on some Eclipse topic.

 

                To answer your notification situation, check out 'Thread Tools' on each thread.  Clicking on it will give you a drop-down menu that includes: Show Printable Version, Email this Page, and Subscribe to this Thread.  When you start a subscription to the thread you can choose how to be notified.  Choices include Control Panel, Instant, Daily, or Weekly.  For the threads I am watching, I chose Daily and an email arrives (only once a day) if there are any new posts.

 

                Similar tools are at the Forum (topic) level and you can also subscribe to any Forum .  That way you can get all posts from a Forum that represents your specific interest or Eclipse function at your company.

 

                There are Search tools at both the Forum level and at the Thread level.  You can do simple searches or very detailed searches.

 

                Finally, on the left side of the Bulletin Board Screen are tools to manage your subscriptions (and other tools.)

 

                Regards,

                Uncle Frank
