MacLean-Fogg successfully implemented a seamless integration between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (JDE) and a cloud-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES) using Magic xpi Integration Platform. This integration enables real-time synchronization of production and scheduling data without manual intervention. Through the use of JDE custom tables, work orders, production schedules, and master item data are automatically uploaded to the MES environment, ensuring accurate and up-to-date manufacturing information across systems. In addition, the integration continuously monitors completed work orders in JD Edwards, triggering automatic removal of corresponding records from the MES. This closed-loop communication architecture minimizes human error, enhances data accuracy, and streamlines shop floor operations, resulting in improved production visibility and operational efficiency across MacLean-Fogg’s manufacturing network.

I am Lisa Tran with Monterey Mushrooms. I have been with the company for 3 years and each year I have been retrofitting modifications to Base JDE programs. This year, I started a campaign to eliminate customizations to base using LEX and Orchestrations. I would like to share my retrofitting journey and share how I was able to move a lot of modifications out of JDE base and share a few modifications I could not get rid of and why.

Step into a new era of B2B integration as we explore how forward-thinking customers are transforming traditional EDI with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) B2B—powered by Gen AI and tightly integrated with JD Edwards (JDE) and Oracle Transportation Management (OTM). In this customer-led session, discover how legacy EDI frameworks evolved into intelligent, automated ecosystems that enable zero-touch trading partner collaboration and visibility across supply chain operations. Learn how OIC B2B prebuilt adapters for JDE and OTM, combined with OCI Gen AI capabilities such as Grok AI anomaly detection, Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW), and Llama-based digital assistants, enable smart document validation, real-time reconciliation, and predictive process optimization. See how automation compresses trading partner onboarding from weeks to minutes, minimizes manual effort, and enforces data accuracy across Customer and Vendor POs, shipping documentation, and invoices. This session highlights practical migration strategies, data mapping automation, and compliance-ready design patterns used to simplify X12 and EDIFACT processing, reduce errors, and cut operational costs by more than 30%. Walk away with actionable steps to modernize your own EDI and B2B integration journey—turning connected data and AI intelligence into measurable EBITDA and business outcomes.

The PeopleSoft administrator of the future looks very different from the one of the past. As organizations modernize their ERP platforms and move to cloud infrastructure, the skills, tools, and mindset required to manage PeopleSoft are rapidly evolving. In this session, we’ll explore what it means to be a modern PeopleSoft administrator—one who combines deep application knowledge with automation, security, and cloud engineering principles. We’ll demonstrate how DevSecOps practices—like version control, continuous integration, infrastructure-as-code, and automated configuration management—are transforming traditional administration into code-driven, auditable, and secure operations. Using practical examples with GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and Chef, we’ll show how teams can automate provisioning, apply consistent configurations, and deploy PeopleSoft environments with speed and confidence. Beyond the tools, this session focuses on the skills and culture needed to thrive in the cloud era. Attendees will learn how to build or reskill teams for modern PeopleSoft operations—bridging the gap between ERP expertise and platform engineering. Whether you’re leading a team or shaping your own career path, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for evolving PeopleSoft administration into a forward-looking, automation-first discipline.

PeopleSoft isn’t a relic of the past—it’s a modern, adaptable platform ready for the next generation of ERP strategy. In this session, we’ll explore how organizations can transform PeopleSoft from a traditional application into the core of a hybrid, cloud-connected ecosystem. The focus is on modernization through integration, automation, and intelligent architecture rather than replacement. We’ll discuss practical strategies for migrating PeopleSoft to the cloud, selecting the right hosting model, and designing a roadmap that prioritizes agility, scalability, and business value. Attendees will see how cloud-native tools, APIs, and automation frameworks can extend PeopleSoft’s capabilities and deliver continuous innovation without disrupting existing operations. This session is for IT leaders and administrators looking to redefine how PeopleSoft fits into their enterprise strategy. You’ll leave with actionable guidance on how to position PeopleSoft as a strategic platform, connect it seamlessly with modern technologies, and unlock new levels of performance and insight in the cloud era.

As organizations evolve, legacy document management systems can become barriers to efficiency, collaboration, and compliance. Turner Industries recently undertook a major initiative to migrate from IBM FileNet to AODocs. This session will highlight how AODocs integrates with JDE to support our TQM process, including real time customer inspector approvals. Attendees will also gain insights into the challenges we faced (data integrity, permissions, and user adoption).

We will dive in our Contact List Logic Extension and what it taught us about when to use Logic Extensions. Getting a powerful tool will have you looking for opportunities to use it for everything, and a lot of time you can, but should you? Wanting to learn the product, we looked for opportunities to use it. Starting off, we definitely forced it, today we try to be more cognizant of all the factors. We're still learning, but we're getting better.

Many state governments are now requiring all employees to have a basic level of benefits. At Samaritan’s Purse we are using PeopleSoft’s Absence Management to address these requirements. Our regular full-time employees have standard benefit plans, but these plans did not account for our temporary and seasonal employees. We needed to address this gap so that HR could transition from manually tracking to automated tracking. Our resolution to automating our temporary employees was to create a new Special Absence plan within our PeopleSoft Absence Management module. This presentation will review challenges with both: 1) the requirements we faced, and 2) their configuration within the Absence Management module. See how we: •Addressed the complexities of states having different regulations •Handled a workforce that moves regularly in and out of those different states •Made our system available to those who needed to use it Adding a Special State plan to our Absence Management module allowed us to build on existing functionality and keep our absence plans centered within one area. We used modified Accumulators for lifetime tracking as well as Termination tracking. We setup Arrays to track approved working hours, retro payroll adjustments, and rehire options. We used Brackets to identify Earning Codes and Time Reporting Codes. We were able to accomplish our goals through configuration.
