As AI becomes an essential tool in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne organizations, the ability to craft clear and effective prompts is rapidly becoming a critical skill for executives, business analysts, developers, and end users alike. This session demystifies how chat-based AI systems interpret language and provides practical strategies for turning vague questions into precise, high-value prompts that produce consistent and accurate results. Attendees will learn why AI sometimes “hallucinates,” how to avoid misleading outputs, and how to structure prompts to improve reliability, traceability, and alignment with JDE-specific tasks. Whether you are troubleshooting CNC issues, designing orchestrations, writing SQL, documenting business processes, or simply exploring new capabilities, proper prompting dramatically increases productivity and reduces errors. This presentation will include real-world examples from JD Edwards administration, development, and functional workflows—showing how AI can accelerate problem solving, code generation, documentation, analytics, and decision-making when guided effectively. Attendees will leave with a practical prompting framework, ready-to-use templates, and a clear understanding of how to get the most value from modern chat AI within the JD Edwards ecosystem.

Discover how the AI Powered Payroll Support Analyst, integrated with Oracle HCM Cloud, transforms payroll operations by automating activities traditionally performed by payroll support consultants. Acting as a virtual payroll specialist, the agent diagnoses employee level payroll issues by analyzing pay run data, identifying discrepancies, and determining root causes such as missing element entries, retro events, or rate changes, all within the context of a specific payroll run. The agent further streamlines resolution by generating prevalidated HDL (HCM Data Loader) files for review and execution, eliminating the need for manual data investigation and correction. By replicating the analytical expertise of a payroll support consultant, it standardizes diagnostics, accelerates resolution, and ensures audit ready accuracy. This session will demonstrate how the Payroll Support Analyst Agent enhances efficiency, reduces operational effort, and improves payroll accuracy through intelligent automation, enabling payroll teams to focus on strategic oversight rather than repetitive troubleshooting.

For manufacturers on JD Edwards, the data needed to optimize the shop floor is often trapped by complex data structures and cryptic tables. This makes timely reporting a slow, manual struggle, leaving managers to ask, "Are we winning or losing the day?" without a clear answer. Join Steve Gerth, Systems Development Manager, of Little Rapids, for a deep dive into their manufacturing analytics transformation. This session details their journey beyond standard JDE reporting to develop powerful, automated production dashboards in Power BI. Learn how they rapidly unlocked and translated their complex JDE data into a clear, unified model for analysis. We'll showcase how this provided granular visibility into production results—by day, by shift, and even by the hour—empowering their operations teams to optimize processes and pave the way for future AI-driven initiatives. Key Takeaways •Strategies for overcoming common JDE data complexities (Julian dates, cryptic schemas) for analytics. •How to move from static, manual reports to dynamic, hourly production dashboards in Power BI. •Tips for developing and standardizing KPIs to create one source of truth. •Techniques to accelerate analytics deployment and bypass traditional multi-year build cycles. •How to build a scalable, AI-ready data foundation on top of your JDE system to future-proof your analytics strategy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer abstract concepts for the future; they are accessible tools embedded directly into the BI platforms your team uses today. For JD Edwards users, this presents a massive opportunity to drive unprecedented insight and efficiency. However, the success of any AI initiative hinges on one key ingredient: a clean, reliable, and business-friendly data foundation. This session moves beyond the theoretical to provide a practical guide for unlocking the power of AI with your JDE data. We will begin by tackling the single most important factor for success: data preparation. You will learn how to overcome the common challenges of raw JDE data—from cryptic table names and complex structures to Julian dates—and build an automated, centralized data foundation that truly fuels AI. Join us to see AI in action and discover how it empowers every user across your organization: •For the Analytics Consumer: See how end-users can move beyond static charts and get instant, AI-generated narratives that summarize key insights, explain the drivers behind performance spikes, and automatically detect anomalies they might have otherwise missed. •For the Dashboard Creator: Learn how to shift from drag-and-drop to a direct conversation with your data. We’ll demonstrate how AI-powered "Copilots" can build entire report pages from a simple prompt and edit visuals using plain-English commands. •For the Analytics Developer: Discover how AI can be your co-pilot for building a more intelligent data architecture. See how AI can generate complex SQL from natural language, run forecasting functions directly within the Data Lakehouse, and automate documentation.

Product returns are expensive, slow, and manual because someone has to touch and inspect each item before a decision is made. That lag drives up warehouse labor, delays refunds, and leaves your JD Edwards inventory and recovery values out of sync with reality. In this session, we'll show how JDE EnterpriseOne Orchestrator and Generative AI can pre-classify product condition before the item arrives, using only the customer's return comments. You'll see how free-text reasons are converted into clear disposition categories—New/Sealed, Like New, Refurbishable, Damaged, or Non-Resale (hygiene/severe damage)—and then drive an automated workflow in JDE: Orchestrator receives the JSON payload from a third-party returns system, calls GenAI for classification, creates the appropriate purchase order, and uses Receipt Routing to apply the correct status so inventory and refund processes update with zero or minimal manual review. We'll walk through the orchestration design, the GenAI prompt pattern, error/low-confidence handling, and how to measure business impact in cycle time, labor savings, and recovery value.
