Distribution, Manufacturing, and Internet Modules

Yes, in the LM module there is a Rebuild BI reporter views.  I'll see if someone can access that, although I haven't an idea whether that will impact Explorer.  Also, yes, if the previously saved Explorer view from 4.3 is recreated and saved in 4.4, then that view is available in 4.4.

I'm referring to Explorer rather than Reporter.  That seems to be very easy to use and provides a way to get information quickly (uhh, providing it works).

Further to Michael's comment above, we did the rebuilding of the BI Reporter views, and find that does not affect the Explorer views that came over from 4.3, which still display no data.

Inventory was a complete rewrite in 4.4.  I would be surprised if anything from 4.3 functioned on 4.4 for the inventory files.

Bob49087 -

Steve Pyle is right in this case.  If you created a custom display for inventory or purchase order using Business Insights Explorer in verson 4.3, those custom displays will need to be recreated in version 4.4.  Because the data structure changed from 4.3 to 4.4 in those modules, the Business Insights Explorer Views were re-generated by Sage.  We needed to do that in order to provide the additional views and in order to make BIE work with the new data file structure.  But now that they are in the Business Framework, they should stay in place without requiring re-work the next time you upgrade.
