Run Compatibility Check

Some of the information that you can enter for an operation can be used in the Bill of Materials module but cannot be used in the Estimating, Planning and Works Orders modules.

If you are using the Bill of Materials module only and plan to install all Manufacturing modules, use this option to check any compatibility issues you will have before installing Manufacturing.

Note: If you are using all Manufacturing modules, you can view warnings when you encounter them, if you select the Perform Compatibility Checks option in the System Settings Environment tab.

To run compatibility check

Open: Manufacturing System Manager > System Utilities > Run Compatibility Check.

  1. Select the records you want to check.

  2. Click Run Compatibility Checks.

    A Compatibility Check prompt identifies the number of issues found.

  3. Click Yes to view the warnings.

    • The Compatibility Warnings window appears.

    • The Record Type and Reference help you to identify the record where the problem is.

    • The Description identifies where the problem is in the record.

    • The Explanation identifies why there is a problem.

    • The Resolution identifies what you need to do to fix the problem.

  4. Click Print to print the warnings.

  5. Click Close when you have finished evaluating the issues.
