There's been a lot of RMS 2.0 talk and complaints. Besides the licensing
issues/dislikes what problems are there? Somebody mentioned something about
Matrix issues, what exactly does it, or should I say doesn't it, do?

Any feed back would be appreciated since I'm about to upgrade our
installation to RMS SO 2.0.

Thanks!

Hi Alex again me.
Matrix Item
An item that has many different variations of itself, but with the same
lookup code and price for each variation. For example, jeans can qualify as
matrix items because they can vary by color (blue, black, tan, etc.) and
size, yet each individual pair of jeans has the same lookup code and price as
all the other variations. Matrix items can have up to three dimensions (i.e.
waist size, length, and color).

It depends what bussiness you are in matrix usually use for appearl, shoe
shops etc.
You have also Lot Matrix concept
Rate please.

Akber,

Thanks for the response.

We understand and use Matrix items all the times since we sell apparel. My
questions though was what kind of problems there are in RMS 2.0 in dealing
with Matrix items or anything else for that matter.

What is RMS 2.0 doing that it shouldn't be doing or visa versa?

The problem we ran into after testing the 2.0 upgrade is like this:

in 1.3 Lets say we create a matrix for a shoe we order in 2 colors Black and
Blue in all sizes and then a season later we add 2 new colors, red and green
in all sizes, to that matrix. After the upgrade, the dimensions for the new
manually created and added shoes show up repeatedly in the matrix window.
ie:

black
blue
red
red
red
red (one red entry for each item in the matrix)
green
green
green
green (one green entry for each item in the matrix)

and the matrix window will not let you fix it. I do not know if it is the
database upgrade, or the matrix window that is causing it. This has NOT been
replicated my MS yet.

I probabally deserve it for stocking a green shoe haha!
