Unlocking Product Flexibility with Dynamic Attributes in Epicor Kinetic

In today's fast-paced manufacturing and distribution landscape, businesses need systems that are not only robust but also highly adaptable. Products are no longer defined by static data—customers demand customization, and internal teams require agility.  

This is where Dynamic Attributes in Epicor Kinetic ERP deliver real value.  

As an authorized Epicor partner, SCASYS enables businesses to harness Dynamic Attributes to add precision, flexibility, and intelligence to product configuration, inventory management, and reporting—without overcomplicating the system.  

Dynamic Attributes allow businesses to define custom fields and characteristics for parts, materials, and transactions within Epicor Kinetic. Unlike fixed fields in the core database, Dynamic Attributes can be configured to meet specific operational, regulatory, or customer requirements—without the need for custom coding.  

Examples include:  

These attributes are stored in a centralized, searchable framework, making them accessible across modules such as Inventory Management, Sales, Quality, Production, and Shipping.  

📈 Why It Matters  

Without dynamic, configurable data:  

• Product tracking becomes limited  
• Custom orders are harder to manage
