Epicor Classic UI to Kinetic UI Conversion Services
Converting Classic Customizations to Kinetic Isn’t a Direct Migration
Moving from Epicor Classic UI to Kinetic ERP changes how screens are built, how logic is handled, and how users interact with the system.
In Classic, many customizations were embedded directly into forms. In Kinetic, that approach doesn’t carry over.
Instead, UI, logic, and data access are separated. That’s where most conversion work starts.
Where Epicor Installs Run Into Issues
Most Epicor environments rely heavily on Classic customizations.
These often include:
Customized forms tied to specific workflows
BPM logic supporting UI behavior
Dashboards built around BAQs
Embedded processes that users depend on daily
When moving to Kinetic, these don’t automatically translate.
Common challenges include:
Classic forms that don’t have a direct Kinetic equivalent
UI workflows that need to be rebuilt in Application Studio
BPMs that behave differently or require restructuring
Dashboards that need to be redesigned for Kinetic
Users struggling with changes to navigation and flow
In many cases, the issue isn’t just technical. It’s operational.
Let’s Start With a Quick Review Together
What Changes in Kinetic
Kinetic introduces a different structure that affects how customizations are built and maintained.
Key differences include:
UI customization moves to Application Studio
Business logic is increasingly handled through functions
BPM usage shifts depending on the scenario
Direct form-level modifications are no longer the primary approach
Integrations and data access follow more structured patterns
A Butiq Approach to Epicor UI Conversion
We focus on converting what matters first, without trying to rebuild everything at once.
A typical approach looks like this:
1. Identify critical workflows
We start with the forms and processes your team uses every day.
2. Review existing customizations
This includes Classic UI changes, BPM logic, and any supporting BAQs.
3. Rebuild in Kinetic-compatible patterns
UI is handled in Application Studio. Logic is moved into functions or updated BPMs where appropriate.
4. Validate with real users
Converted screens are tested against actual workflows to ensure they still support how the business operates.
5. Roll out in phases
Departments can transition individually, reducing disruption across the organization.
This keeps the system usable while the transition happens.
