The following are enhancements made to the original, non-windows Epicor Eagle™ system (also known as "legacy") on level 24.2506, Eagle for Windows level 11.5038.
High speed credit authorization is now available as a purchase option. This application will provide 3 to 5 second response times on POS credit card transactions. To use this application, you need ProtoBase Version 4.81-72E, a high-speed Internet connection, and a network-capable Eagle system.
Do it Best Corp. has a new customer loyalty program called "Best Rewards® " which rewards your customers with coupons, rebates, and gift certificates based on the purchases they make. Customers are issued a card that they present at POS. The clerk either scans or keys in the loyalty account number and then processes the customer’s transaction. The system records the sale to the customer’s loyalty account, and the account information is then sent to Do it Best Corp., using the Vista™ data collection service. You must contact Do it Best Corp. to sign up for the Best Rewards loyalty program.
EFM Cost Change Validation
If a cost change is downloaded via EFM without a corresponding retail change, the system will perform an additional check before adding the new cost to the price change file. If the new cost is greater than the item’s Retail Price in Inventory, the new cost will be divided by the Order Multiple of the item. This value will then be added to the price change file.
UCID will now download the "Last Receipt Quantity" for SKU’s that keep track of receiving history. Before this change, UCID only downloaded the Last Receipt Date.
UCID can now be added to an End-Of-Day Queue.
ERP will now add new items automatically to the Inventory file for TruServ and Do it Best Corp. (Ace already has this capability). When you download the electronic invoice, items on the invoice that don’t exist in the Inventory file but do exist in the Eagle catalog will be added to Inventory. The items will also be added to the target purchase order if the "Append To Target PO?" field in ERP is set to Yes. To use this feature, you must answer Yes to the option "Add Items To Inventory" on the ERP screen. The added items will print in the "Extra Item Added" section of the ERP Exception Report. A new Exception Report option, Option I is available to suppress the printing of the added items.
If you use ACENET to place Drop Ship orders, you can now download Reverse purchase orders (Drop Ship orders) from Ace via Electronic File Maintenance (EFM) and the system will automatically create a PO in the Purchasing and Receiving window. This means you don't have to spend time manually creating Reverse purchase orders. Before downloading Reverse purchase orders for the first time, you must do the following setup:
Call ACE Electronic Services at 1-800-777-6797 and tell them to turn on the "Drop Ship PO Hotsheet Flag" for your store(s).
Modify the ACEEFM control stream for each store by adding "RPOACE" to the first blank line at the end of the control stream. Adding RPOACE will cause EFM to display the "Electronic Reverse PO Transmission Screen." Each time EFM is processed, the system will process any purchase order files that are available.
The Epicor Eagle™ system has a new training mode available that uses a copy of your actual data and provides full application functionality. A customer services representative must activate the new training mode. You will then use the Osprey function TRAINCF (which quiets the system) to install the new training mode. The old "Training Universe" database will no longer be available once the new training mode is activated.
