PeopleSoft’s strength lies in its ability to be tailored to an organization’s requirements, but extensive customizations often increase upgrade complexity, leading to higher costs and longer timelines. Tools such as Page Field Configurator, Event Mapping, Application Engine Plug-ins, Page Composer, and Drop Zones minimize or eliminate the need for traditional customizations, streamlining maintenance and upgrades. By utilizing these tools, organizations can meet their unique needs with little to no custom coding, making future upgrades simpler and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Delivering changes in JD Edwards with speed and confidence requires more than manual test scripts and spreadsheets. Modern JDE organizations are looking for automated, repeatable testing that fits inside their existing Oracle stack, not another external tool. In this session, we demonstrate a JDE-native test automation platform that uses Orchestrator, APEX, and Oracle Visual Builder to automate end-to-end business process testing, including real test evidence PDF creation and real-time dashboards. The next step: AI-assisted testing. We show how AI is used to enhance testing capability by: •Automatically generating test data and input variations •Recommending test cases based on JDE usage patterns and change impact •Identifying high-risk areas for regression testing •Assisting with test documentation and exception explanation Combined, these capabilities help teams accelerate testing, reduce manual effort, and improve reliability before ESUs, upgrades, and deployments, all inside the Oracle ecosystem. We will walk through a real Procure-to-Pay scenario (vendor → PO → receipt → match → voucher), demonstrating automated testing orchestration from start to finish. Outcome: Attendees leave with a blueprint for implementing AI-enhanced, JDE-native test automation that reduces upgrade pressure, increases quality, and supports continuous improvement — without adding external tools or complexity.

At last year’s RECONNECT Live! at BLUEPRINT 4D Conference in Las Vegas, the State of Indiana received multiple inquiries about its experience with the Travel & Expense (T&E) module. Many users are either transitioning to Fluid for T&E or recently completed the move and are facing similar challenges. The State of Indiana will present an overview of its T&E setup and configuration, including agency and employee participation, reporting volumes, workflow design, expense type and location setup, and year-end processing. The presentation will also highlight key challenges encountered, solutions implemented, and process improvements delivered since moving to Fluid in January 2023. This session aims to provide valuable insights for those considering the transition and encourage collaboration among other organizations using the module.
