A full ERP system designed by Oracle for large enterprises.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a complete suite of modular, pre-integrated industry-specific business applications designed for rapid deployment and ease of administration on a pure internet architecture. It is ideally suited for organizations that manufacture, construct, distribute, service, or manage products or physical assets.
Cash flow. Vendor terms. Discount opportunities. Efficient and effective cash management is more than just paying bills. Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable provides the integration and flexibility you need to optimize your payables process.
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable streamlines and accelerates the process of applying receipts, giving you real-time accounts receivable information. Handle complex transactions quickly and automatically, minimize the need for manual processing, improve your customer relationships, and enhance your organization’s ability to respond to credit and collections issues.
Do you ever wonder which products, services, channels, or market segments make the most money, or which activities cost the most and which generate the greatest ROI? JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting provides the framework and features to analyze profitability by using a combination of traditional managerial accounting and activity-based costing, giving you valuable financial information not generally available through traditional accounting methods.
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne’s Asset Lifecycle Management solution helps drive greater value from your assets, whether they are plants, facilities, or equipment. From capital planning and budgeting, to procurement and operations, to maintenance and repair, JD Edwards Asset Lifecycle Management can maximize profitability and return on investment across the entire asset lifecyle.
The Capital Asset Management product within JD Edwards Enterprise one is designed to give you a closer look into all your fixed assets. It will provide you with visibility of your assets from deployment through operations, maintenance and retirement. The goal through this system is to give you a true view of each asset’s operational and financial performance, so you can ensure that every capital investment into assets is profitable.
This module is fully integrated with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications, including those designed for the management of labor, procurement, finances, services, projects, and warranties. This will in-turn allow you to put asset management practices in place that will reduce operating costs, capital expenditures, and spare parts inventory, while simultaneously increasing utilization, production and reliability.
The system will give you a complete view of all labor and parts needed for asset management, thereby allowing you to optimize labor and reduce costs associated with overtime and excess spare parts and inventories.
You will also be able to match maintenance and repair tasks to employees. This will take into account availability and skill level of employees to ensure that you are minimizing overtime pay. Capacity and workload tracking will lend itself to reducing overtime, as well.
The system will also allow you to schedule servicing as needed to ensure that you assets are operating at optimal performance. Preventive maintenance schedules based on user-defined usage thresholds will allow you to ensure that maintenance is performed around production needs, as opposed to disrupting production for maintenance. Examples of the user-defined thresholds for usage include: meter readings, hours used, miles driven, fuel used, specific dates, or time intervals.
Finally, failure analysis will allow you to see how and why assets fail. This will then allow you to ensure that your assets are operating at peak levels and avoid failure in the future.
You assets need to run at full capacity in order to maximize revenue generation. However, this raises the question of how do you run your assets at full capacity while minimizing unplanned downtime? The answer: continually collected information about each asset from the Condition-Based Maintenance application in your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Suite.
Rather than waiting to fix your equipment until after a breakdown occurs or basing maintenance on a set calendar or usage-based metric, you will be able to fix equipment only and immediately when it’s necessary. This results in reduced maintenance costs, equipment downtime and productivity.
Many pieces of equipment now come with monitoring devices built into them. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will integrate with these monitoring devices to gather data. This real-time data stream is then used to judge conditions of equipment against predefined operating parameters. If the information falls outside the parameters, an alert signals the problem. What’s more, you are able to set the parameters for each piece of monitored equipment yourself. Meaning the monitoring can be as sensitive or loose as you’d like it to be, for each individual piece of equipment.
The alerts can be delivered in a number of ways. Options include: delivery by email, pager, or some other messaging system. If you do not want an alert, the system can automatically generate a work order that prompts for inspection and repair.
The fact that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne actively monitors your equipment means that it will catch a problem before outward signs are noticeable. Instead of waiting for a piece of equipment to breakdown to perform repairs, you can catch may repairs before they become major issues, saving time and expenses in repairs. This proactive approach to monitoring and maintenance will ensure that you keep equipment running smoothly thus increasing productivity and in-turn revenues.
Contract and Service Billing calculates customer invoices accurately based on your business rules. This gives you the flexibility to meet the diverse terms and billing methods of contracts and service. This module is designed to handle the billing for complex contracts and service agreements. Integration with project costing will ensure that you are billing the correct amount and do not have to waste time reentering data. No matter the source, any costs associated with a project are taken into account in billing.
The software allows you to tailor your invoices to each of your customers’ preferences. You are able to setup flexible billing cycles and custom invoice format in multiple currencies and languages. Contract and Service Billing supports all variations of daily, weekly, or monthly billing cycles–or any other customer-designated interval. You are also able to specify what information is on an invoice, so that customers who want item specifics on their invoices can receive them, and others who want detailed price breakdowns will have their desires met as well.
Feature Highlights:
The Equipment Cost Analysis application of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is designed so you can avoid the problem of constantly rising costs with no known cause. The system will ensure you to stay on top of expenses by allowing you to track and manage operating and maintenance costs by equipment type or parent/child relationship. This will allow you to easily determine which machines are the most costly.
The software will allow you to view operating and maintenance costs for individual pieces of equipment. You will also be able to drill down into work order detail to investigate areas of rising costs.
The system will allow you to create custom categories for your equipment. This will allow you to group and track costs in the way that makes the most sense for your company. This flexibility will make it easier for you to investigate and manage costs for your company.
Automating your expense reporting process promotes efficiency from entry to reimbursement to billing. With Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Expense Management, employees can enter their time and expenses in one location, eliminating short-term disparate systems or spreadsheets that compromise internal control and efficiency.
The Financial Management and Compliance Console gives you a multilayered interface that delivers individualized views of financial metrics in an intuitive interface. With it, you can quickly assess financial and compliance performance, drill down to supporting data, identify potential issues, and take appropriate action.
Commonly referred to as a BI dashboard (i.e. Business Intelligence Dashboard), the Financial Management and Compliance Console will ensure that all of your staff has quick access to critical KPI’s (key performance indicators). The key features of the Financial Management and Compliance Console include:
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Asset Accounting provides an effective way to track assets for your critical financial and reporting needs, enabling you to produce fixed asset reports, maintain purchase requests for assets, reconcile assets, and maintain tax information.
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger integrates financial information in real time from throughout your business and helps you meet the financial consolidation and reporting needs of a complex and changing business environment.
The Order Management application will streamline order processing for companies that deal with receiving orders from customers on a regular basis. The system will allow you to maintain visibility and control throughout the order lifecycle.
There are advanced pricing features that allow you to manage complex sales environments effectively and efficiently. You will be able to manage an unlimited number of prices and specials offers based on any combination of products, product groups, customers, or customer groups. This will in-turn allow you to maximize profits through individualized pricing.
The product configurator in the Order Management application provides a fully integrated front-end sales and quote management system that will allow your staff to create accurate quotes for products that have numerous customization options available. The system will allow you to create configured bills of materials, routing and pricing based on the product configurations.
The system will handle fulfillment management and will optimize delivery through the prioritization of orders according to user-defined rules. The system will give you all the tools you need to closely manage supplies and meet customer expectations. You will be given everything you need to assign inventory to customer sales orders, set service levels for one customer or group of customers, and generate fulfillment plans that you manage or modify as necessary.
This application also features apparel management functionality to manage complex product assortments for apparel manufacturing and distribution companies. The system will allow you to setup multi-attribute items allowing you to track multiple sizes and colors of a particular piece of apparel.
The Project and Government Contract Accounting application is a flexible solution that lets your project-driven organization manage and support complex contracts. The module will allow you to track your contracts & projects and the costs for labor, material, sub-contractors and any other costs. The system will allow you to manage tasks and control costs for each project, keeping them in line with budgets and contract terms.
The system will allow you to setup fees, retention methods, labor categories and burdening according to the terms and conditions of each contract. You will be able to setup a hierarchical contract structure for top-down contract control. The system will ensure that any costs for a project are automatically associated with the appropriate contract. You will then be able to track which costs can be billed back to your customers. The system will also identify FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) unallowable costs, limit billing based on period of performance and identify billable jobs on a contract.
If you are dealing with multiple customers with multiple engagements per customer, the Project and Government Contract Accounting application will give you the flexibility to provide individualized service for your customers. The system will allow you to setup tasks in projects and track costs on the task level. You will then be able to track funds at the task level and in-turn create invoices for individual tasks with separate invoices methods for each task, if necessary.
As any project-driven organization knows, the difference between finishing a project with a profit or loss all comes down to how effectively and accurately you are tracking your project costs. The Project Costing application provides you with robust and complete project cost information. The system will give you access to integrated data in one common database, which can easily turn a losing project into a profitable one.
The project costing application will give you real-time, in-depth visibility to all project finances. All the information you need to improve performance will be given to you through views of original budget amounts, current costs, open commitments, final cost projections, and percent-complete information for each project. An Inquiry screen will allow you to easily access progress information and identify cost overruns in the early stages of a project, allowing you to make adjustments and take corrective actions before project costs get out of control.
The system provides you with very high levels of flexibility. You will be able to setup unique cost codes and work phase structure for each different project type. The system will also allow you to create industry- and company-specific terminology to make the information more relevant for your staff. The end-result of this flexibility is customized screens that give you the ability to make well-informed business decisions.
Absolute Barking Dog of a program. In theory you can monitor down time and mean time between failures but this requires an army of highly skilled clerical people entering data into many different parts of the program with high levels of access. An incredibly expensive program to buy and a complex and expensive program to use and maintain. You are unlikely to see a positive return on investment from JDE.
You can export the contents of almost any screen to Excel or CSV to work with it outside JDE. Screens are vey configurable to show the information you need to see for the function you are performing.
Basic functionality for maintenance planning is available at additional cost or not available at all. Predicted dates for maintenance tasks are not dynamic and poorly calculated so not suitable for mobile plant. Plant can be overdue service but the planned date in JDE will still be some weeks away. You will need to export all your data to Excel or use another application to effectively plan your maintenance. There are a lot of better systems out there but none that are worse from a users point of view.
JD Edwards production E1 system has to be one of the worst systems I have ever used in my life. There is basically no way of teaching yourself how to use this system without a system without excessive manuals and even at that you’ll never know the full extent of the system.
Nothing
Everything
We use an old JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP which has requires us to do a lot of hardcoding of commands. We looked at a demo of the new version and although the point and click features are nice, the reporting sucks and the information is horrible. Needing to upgrade for $1.2 million did not seem worth it. I believe there are more cost effective and better functioning programs out there.
Using HR, payroll, and GL - It’s not easy to use for our users, it’s old and antiquated, it’s not web based. We have problems using it from home or off site
