This tax year JD Edwards introduced new functionality that greatly improves the ability to archive Canadian year-end forms. We will explain the functionality and demonstrate how to set up and use it.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne digital platform provides an extensive framework for adapting your software to a continuously changing world. Several features, such as personal forms, form extensions, grid formats, and composed pages enable you to adapt the user experience without the cost and complexity of traditional customizations. But what if the application logic itself needs to be adapted? What if you want EnterpriseOne to do something different? Announcing logic extensions, a new feature available with EnterpriseOne Release 22 that provides a no code/low code way to extend application logic with speed and simplicity that will make traditional customizations obsolete. Business analysts, JD Edwards developers, and system administrators will all benefit from the speed, ease, and agility that logic extensions bring to the JD Edwards digital platform.

With economic volatility at an all-time high, the need for procurement agility has never been greater. To help your business adapt, you have to source critical supplies faster and more effectively than ever before, while continuing to increase productivity and reduce costs and risk.

In this session, I will share my process and toolset for digging into application questions and issues.

Join this session to learn how Miller Electric Company energized their A/P operations. With the investment of capital and time into JDE over the last 15 years it made sense to leverage an A/P Automation tool embedded in E1. Having a single system translates into incredible time and cost savings during training, user adoption, use and maintenance. With A/P Automation within E1 the job costing is now done at the front of the transaction. In the business this means the AP dept. is less dependent on Project Managers to get costs into the system ASAP. PM’s are now simply approving the payment, not the costs. The speed at which this happens is second to none. Miller has minimized keying errors, delivered seamless efficiency and increased compliancy as auditors can evaluate any step in the process.

Upgrades to major new releases of PeopleTools have typically been challenging projects for Hays Specialist Recruitment.
The upgrades have a lot of manual steps, take time to apply non-vanilla customisations and configuration files and involve a lot of manual IT and end user testing and of course involve change freezes which limit the team’s ability to deliver value add solutions.
This presentation will showcase how Hays used a PeopleTools 8.59 upgrade to drive:
? automation of the deployment steps,
? revert to vanilla configuration,
? deliver new end user value through tools such as such as an enhanced user interface, improvements to activity guides and analytics.
? use of PeopleTools Test Framework to automate elements of the testing burden.
The project has resulted in Hays being able to take a different approach to spot releases of PeopleTools and deploy these rapidly as part of the monthly technical release cycle.

The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) recently transitioned to a Payroll Shared Services (PSS) environment by taking advantage of key functionality within Payroll for North America in PeopleSoft HCM 9.2. The PSS staff provides all payroll administration in one central unit for 16 different Community and Technical colleges across the state of Kentucky. Work and leave time is collected and administrated electronically through PeopleSoft Time and Labor, which helps to ensure critical compliance with both regulatory agencies and policy and procedures. Taxes are managed centrally by utilizing tax location codes within the job data screen. PeopleSoft Fluid Employee Self Service is configured to allow employees a dashboard view of key payroll, leave, tax, and direct deposit information. Several PeopleSoft audits have been put in place to ensure accuracy of data and allows for the central payroll staff to focus on critical exceptions.

Multi-factor Authentication has also been enabled to allow for direct deposit self-service changes.

Background – The United States Senate is comprised of multiple organizations. Not only are there Senator offices, but also committee and other administrative entities to support the functions of the Senate. The Bart/MIPRO team first worked with the Senate Disbursing (Payroll) group to go live on Oracle PeopleSoft HCM and North American Payroll. Years later, our team helped expand HCM/HRIS functionality to the Senate Sergeant at Arms (SAA) HR organization to include SMART HR processing, Position Management, Workcenters, Leave and Person Profile modules. Bart/MIPRO designed specific SMART HR functionality to allow SAA HR to electronically submit Department, Jobcode, and Pay Changes to Disbursing, which owns Job Data at the US Senate. Senate rules, policy, and procedures make processing large numbers of pay-related transactions very time consuming.

Bart/MIPRO Solution – To reduce SAA HR’s semi-monthly and semi-annual burdens of creating and submitting large numbers of pay-related transactions (corrections, retros, merits, bonuses), Bart/MIPRO designed and constructed a custom Rapid Pay solution using advanced PeopleTool App Designer techniques. This unique design incorporates existing SMART HR functionality and a new front end to provide for spreadsheet upload and rapid pay transaction entry. Users now can key in pay specific transactions either to spreadsheet or to online page without having to do directly into their custom HRIS Job Information page that requires additional non-pay data entry and edits. This new bulk-processing solution has reduced SAA HR Pay transaction system processing by an estimated 50-75%. The solution uses App Package, App Engine, Component Interface, BI Publisher, Approvals, Worklists to bolster the existing HRIS design without discounting the Senate’s previous HRIS investment.
