This report identifies SKUs in your system having a variance between the SKU's OM (order multiple) and Ace's OM. OM variances can occur when your system misses an electronic file maintenance (EFM) update. Note: If you see 10 or more OM variances every month, contact Epicor's Advice Line to investigate your EFM settings.

  1. In Epicor's Eagle Browser, open Inventory Maintenance.
  2. Enter a SKU from your Order Multiple Variances report and click the Display button.
  3. In the Stocking tab, replace the numbers in the Standard Pack and Order Multiple fields with the number from your report's Sugg OM column.
  4. Click the Change button to save your changes.
  5. Repeat the previous steps for each SKU listed in your Order Multiple Variances report.
