EXPLORIS in Multi-store -- now QUITE ready for prime time

CLICK HERE >>See this link - posted in April 2010

A simple thing in multi-store --is to look up one single part --and wonder WHAT ARE THE OTHER STORES DOING with this PART ?? In J-Con is was simple -- try the 2.2 screen.

In Exploris ( Nexpart by WHI ) it is anything but simple - in fact it really doesn't exist - as I can't really call the multi-store creator-edit screen a user friendly screen. Maybe after a re-think on this screen this could do -- but it sure was slapped together fast and without much care ( imho )
who cares about multi-store users ????

What would help?
- on line help - where you can 'mouse over' one of the many FIELD NAMES in Field Selection ( see 2nd image ) and know --what is the difference in things like DC POP and USER CLASS and
SALESS CLASS 1&2 ( hint sales class 1&2 is the way they handle the movement code 5.1 --they put into 2 buckets )
-any printed help for this screen -- call # 1318520 is a request for some printed help on field selection -so we are not wasting time in trying to GUESS what fields are important and need to be displayed - vs - what fields are junk or just BLANK data and are wasting valuable screen space.
-speaking of LIMITED SPACE available - please give us an option to have sales by the YEAR as an option--to avoid the MANY options for month and month-1 and month-2 -- what a waste and what a pain to not have the option for SALES this year and SALES last year ( or in some reports it is sales this year and sales for the last 2 years - I guess I can get used to this ? )

Damm is is aggravating !
