Advanced user of Epicor Prophet 21

Lots of versatility, too many ways to accomplish the same task

What do you like best?

Straightforward PO creation, inventory management is relatively simple in regards to stock locations, receiving, and invoicing. I've previously worked with Epicor's VISION software, and the difference in user-friendliness and customizability is staggering.

Inventory management between our dozens of DC's and individual sites is seamless-pricing items to the customer, creating pick tickets for the stock location, and documenting a transfer is all done with only a couple of clicks.

Invoicing is also relatively simply. Creating them takes no effort, and the software seems to do an excellent job of communicating with our customer's SAP Ariba software.

Automation processes for the creation of sales orders for process like cycle counting and Zebra PDT scanner downloads are flawless. We are able to perform count/adjustment entries in a separate software, and those become sales orders we can bill the customer with in a matter of minutes. Scanners function the same way-individual, detailed S/O are created based on customer/project/work order to allow for easy allocation of costs.

What do you dislike?

Hassle to update already existing documents. Changing controls on inventory has a lot of red tape, but that may just be a factor of how our company has chosen to set it up.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find information on linked documents such as sales orders/PO's/invoices without opening an entirely new window and switching back and forth.

More of a nitpick, but it could play a little better with Microsoft Excel.

There are occasionally six different ways to find the same information-something like finding a bin location can be found through three nearly identical reporting modules, several very similar inventory lookups, or simply via the sales order. Despite this, there is no way to find a bin location when receiving a PO on the spot to make for ease of stocking.

Templates for sending certain documents over would be nice-just a way to quicken the process of sending a PO to a vendor or sending sales orders to the customer for their own PO creation directly from P21. Its still relatively easy to do now, but it would be nice to save the hassle of entering email address, message bodies, and so on every time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Virtually limitless options for customization, appears to excel at many different applications and industries.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Inventory management/turnover, purchasing, receiving, invoicing. All inventory controls (min/max replenishment points, usage analytics, stock locations, lead times, and price booking) can all be found with relative ease. Invoicing is generally seamless.
