eOne Smartconnect - Scheduled maps stop running for no reason

This is an issue that they are currently working on 

1.  Scheduling the SmartConnect scheduling service to restart once a day.  This will solve any sort of "out of memory" issues, or issues where the scheduler shows it's running, but it won't pick up any maps.  I wrote a blog article on how to use a batch file to restart the scheduling service using the Windows task scheduler, you can find it here: http://www.eonesolutions.com/blog-post/restart-smartconnect-scheduling-service-using-batch-file/

Create a batch file with these lines
---------------------------------------------------
taskkill /F /IM eOne.SmartConnect.WindowsService.exe
timeout 30
sc start eOne.SmartConnect.WindowsService.exe

----------------------------------------------------

2.  Creating a SQL job to delete any users that have been stuck in maps longer than 15 minutes.  So if you have a map that is repeating say every 10 minutes for the entire day, and a user gets stuck in it for longer than 15 minutes, then you know the map is stuck.  So then you create a SQL job that deletes any activity records older than 15 minutes, and then have the job run every 15 minutes.  

delete MapActivity where CheckType='Service' and DateTime <=dateadd(minute,-15,getdate())

This can be created in a sql stored procedure in the master db and be called from anywhere

A sql job can also be created to restart the smartconnect service

-- To allow advanced options to be changed. EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO -- To update the currently configured value for advanced options. RECONFIGURE; GO -- To enable the feature. EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1; GO -- To update the currently configured value for this feature. RECONFIGURE; GO
xp_cmdshell 'NET STOP eOne.SmartConnect.WindowsService.exe'

xp_cmdshell 'NET START eOne.SmartConnect.WindowsService.exe'

3. The schedule may be set badly causing it to not repeat correctly.
Avoid the following situations.

• Do not schedule multiple maps to begin at the same time
• Set all daily repeating schedules as follows
• start time is 12am
• duration is 1440 = 24hrs
• If you need to run multiple maps, make one map as master, let it run all other maps so they don't bump into each other

A - C
A - D


don't daisy chain maps

Dynamics GP - Manufacturing - Understanding how Manufacturing Calculates FG Costs - Why costing errors occur - Costing is higher than expected

• From a Recipe Level - Direct Costs Come From
• Machine Setup
• Labor Setup
• Routing Setup
• Component Costs on Manufacturing Bill of Materials
• From a Production Level - Costs are affected by
• Final Costs are calculated when the MO is closed
• Using Item Cost at the time it was issued to the MO
• Machine Costs Issued /backflushed to the MO
• Labor Costs issued/backflushed to the MO
• Minus Cost of all Reverse Issued raw materials
• If Backflushing
• Raw Material is not issued, and costs are not reflected in pick tickets or in WIP
• Raw Material is adjusted out of stock when the Finished Good Receipt is posted
• Causes of Costing errors
• Rounding errors due to UofM factors that may go beyond 5 decimal places
• When setting up a BOM, notice that quantities may automatically adjust themselves on the BOM when first entered due to rounding limitations of the UofM selected
• Changing Default Qty to Backflush
• If your raw materials are set to backflush, changing the quantity of raw materials used "consumes" from the total quantity of raw materials GP thinks you should be using for that entire MO, even though it will cost that receipt correctly
• Example - Bom that uses 1 unit of rm to produce 1 unit of fg
• I do an MO for 2 units of FG
• I do a receipt for 1 unit of FG, but change the RM from 1 unit of RM to 2 units of rm
• GP will cost that 1 fg at the cost of the 2 units of rm consumed to produce it
• However, if i try to receive 1 more fg, GP suggests 0 rm because it assumes you have already consumed all the rm required for this MO
• At this point, i have to manually enter the additional RM i am using
• This is a problem if calculating the RM is complicated
• Receiving additional Finished Goods against a Backflush MO that is "Completed"
• GP will not automatically backflush more Raw materials to the fully received MO
• If you do not manually add more raw materials to the MO, your costing will come out incorrect
• If using Average Costing for Inventory, Finished Goods and Raw Material Costs can fluctuate with each issue and receipt depending on what other transactions may have occurred between the Manufacturing transactions
• Guidelines to prevent Costing errors
• Ensure that the Base UofM of the Raw Material is in the smallest quantities being used
• Instead of using 0.00001 kgs, your base unit should be in grams
• Do not receive against "Completed"  MO's
