About Epiglossary

Epiglossary is a practical guide to Epicor ERP, covering both Kinetic (the browser client) and Epicor 10 (the classic smart client). It focuses on what the official documentation tends to leave out: the gotchas, the workarounds, and the “why is it doing that” explanations you usually only get from experience or a long forum thread.

Who it’s for

Developers and admins building BPMs, Epicor Functions, Application Studio layers, BAQs and reports.
Power users who want to understand how a process such as job costing, inventory transactions or scheduling works under the hood.
Anyone moving from Classic to Kinetic who needs to know what changed.

How it’s organised

Section	What’s in it
Kinetic	Browser-client topics: Application Studio, Kinetic dashboards, debugging
Classic (E10)	Smart-client topics: customizations, `oTrans`, Event Wizard
Platform	Server-side tools that work in both clients: BPMs, Functions, BAQs, SSRS, REST, DMT
Processes	How the business flows work: jobs, inventory, scheduling, purchasing, shipping, finance
Reference	Lookup tables such as inventory transaction types

Every article shows a badge for the client it applies to: Kinetic, Classic (E10), or Kinetic + Classic. See Kinetic vs Classic for what the difference means in practice.
