When starting a digital transformation: it is best to know why you’re doing it. Is moving to the Cloud a means to an end: or an end in itself?

Real Life Scenario: During the Hypercare phase of a JDE deployment: a priority ticket led to the discovery of certain critical fields and tables that required a mass upload of data: as well as mass update of existing records. Absence of standard mass upload programs and presence of a dynamic UKID... field in the live environment further complicated possible resolution approaches. JDE Orchestrator Based resolution: During this presentation we will explore how an orchestrator solution was quickly developed: with the capability to perform a mass update of records into the required tables: by using standard JDE Interactive forms: reducing the projected fix from days to a matter of seconds.

When employees only worked in a few specific locations, it was easy to setup those locations in PeopleSoft with its core features (including its tax requirements) and maintain that location for all the employee’s that worked... there. But in the new remote working world (especially with COVID), employees are now working most of their hours from home, which may be in other states and with new tax localities.

But this can be a maintenance and compliance nightmare for a payroll and tax department. Especially for states like Pennsylvania which have work tax codes in the thousands. Ensuring that the correct codes are assigned to an employee’s work and resident location(s) is challenging but we’ll show you how.
