Release Highlights

UI Themes: Personalize Your Experience

In the latest release, we introduce UI Themes, allowing users to customize their platform's color scheme. Whether you prefer a vibrant palette or a sleek monochrome look, UI Themes enhance personalization and make it easy to distinguish between play and production environments. This feature was inspired by user feedback on the Epicor Ideas Portal.

Our dynamic resource planning capabilities now include Capacity Planning & Production Scheduling. Key features:

  • Proactive, demand-based capacity forecasting
  • Gantt charts for visualizing job timelines
  • "What if" capable-to-promise scenario planning for better decision-making.

This will be available in a later version of 2024.1.

Epicor Field Service Management (FSM)

Regulatory and Global Updates

Retail Delivery Fees (CO/MN)

Retail Delivery Fees are state-mandated fees that customers pay in certain circumstances related to deliveries. In Prophet 21, you can assess and track these fees, assigning them to invoices where appropriate. Colorado implemented a retail delivery fee on July 1, 2022, and Minnesota is imposing a new retail delivery fee effective July 1, 2024. An overview of the Retail Delivery Fee functionality can be found in EpicWeb on the Documentation page. Detailed documentation will be available in the Help & Support panel and via video in the Epicor Learning Center July 1.

Carta Porte 3.0 (MX)

Prophet 21 now includes additional information in the Carta Porte form to ensure compliance with Carta Porte version 3.0.

Prompt VAT Reduction (UK)

Create terms for both customers and vendors that claim a discount for paying the full VAT amount early. You can create and assign these terms just like any other terms. Although you define standard terms for customers and vendors that apply to all orders by default, you can use different VAT terms for individual transactions if appropriate.
