The Oracle JD Edwards ERP solution affirms itself as a strategic choice for companies looking for a reliable, flexible and high-performance ERP system.
In a scenario of continuous transformation, characterised by the accelerated evolution of technology, employee and customer expectations, businesses need solutions that go beyond the mere improvement of processes, revolutionising them, making them more agile and smart. With Release 25, Oracle JD Edwards introduces a series of innovations designed to simplify, automate and optimise key processes, providing a concrete value for companies looking to perpetuate their competitive edge.
Let’s take a look at the main new features brought to us by Release 25.
Release 25: the new features that boost JD Edwards 9.2
JD Edwards 9.2 Release 25 introduces new functionalities, an improved user experience, advanced Orchestrator capacities and significant tool improvements, designed to tackle complex operating requirements and improve the efficiency of a more than 17,000-strong client base active in various sectors and countries. Here are the main innovations:
Sustainability Framework
The JD Edwards’ sustainability framework supports environmental impact data collection and analysis. It simplifies the mobile combustion data (Scope 1) acquisition and storage process, enabling easier and more accurate environmental reporting.
For example, vehicle, aircraft and ship fuel consumption can be effortlessly monitored within JD Edwards’ transactions. Transparency and traceability are ensured by a complete history, in a precise and reliable report.
Procurement – Production environment Selection in the App
The Progressive Web App (PWA) for JD Edwards’ purchase order approval enables you to effortless choose the proper production environment when you log in.
Clients with separate production environments can now select the correct environment during mobile access. This improvement contributes towards reducing maintenance costs associated and the complexities of updates.
Production Automation
With this release, automation also extends to the manufacturing sector, bringing greater visibility and cooperation for the optimised planning and execution of production operations.
Now you can have an immediate overview of production process status, rapidly identify risks and take strategic action. You also receive real time notifications in exceptional circumstances and directly access the application, where you can consult and update data in a process flow diagram. Moreover, graphic KPI visualisation enhances the effectiveness of performance monitoring.
Smart Stock Tracking
JD Edwards’ EnterpriseOne continues to provide improvements oriented towards clients’ requirements, supporting warehouse management. Current updates are focused on improving the overall user experience and enriching License Plate Workbench functionalities.
You can now effortlessly view information with reference to date and time, search and filter records based on data, faster and with greater intuition. The License Plate Workbench application has been boosted with access to new applications that enable you to manage licence labels for items with greater efficiency. Release 25 allows you to group all the parts that make up a product under a single “licence label” while still maintaining the visibility of single components. These improvements optimise warehouse operation management, enhancing efficiency and precision.
Enterprise Process Modeller
JD Edwards Release 25 introduces the Enterprise Process Modeller, a tool that provides a clear graphic representation of company processes. It enables you to define, monitor and measure key processes of your operations, all in an easy-to-follow diagram. You can also identify bottlenecks and opportunities for workflow simplification, thus optimising overall efficiency.
Orchestrator
These latest updates enable the automation of a series of repetitive activities, thus reducing human error and freeing up time for higher added-value activities. The latest updates enable the activation of processes like orchestrations, the sending of notifications (alerts or messages), and the execution of logical extensions, simplifying the integration of additional functionalities without having to modify system processes.
Integration of JDE with Oracle Cloud services (including AI services)
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides an extensive range of cloud services, many accessible as API REST. These services include Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionalities, like document recognition, artificial vision (image recognition) and language services. By using Orchestrator to call these OCI services, and in particular to integrate them with JD Edwards Oracle ERP company applications and data, automated processes can be created, thus increasing the value of the EnterpriseOne system.
