Overview
Connecting Epicor Kinetic with your trading partners
Epicor Kinetic, formerly Epicor ERP, is used by make-to-order and discrete manufacturers that frequently receive orders, schedules and forecasts from customers electronically. Kinetic's Demand Management functionality is designed to process incoming customer demand, including EDI-sourced orders and schedules, and reconcile changes against existing sales orders and releases.
Kinetic also offers REST APIs built on its business objects and supports Business Activity Queries for extracting data. ECOM integrates Kinetic with trading partners through PRISM, feeding demand into Demand Management or the APIs and generating ship notices and invoices from shipments and A/R invoices. ECOM also provides Epicor Kinetic implementation services.
