B2B Buyer profiles are evolving. The difference between your organization and a competitor may come down to the availability of product ordering via a digital commerce platform, and traditional ordering channels. According to a B2BecNews survey, in 5 years half of the workforce will be Millennials. 90% of B2B buyers research online before making a purchase. 84% prefer repeated orders through online channels. The ongoing global pandemic has no doubt accelerated many of these statistics. For B2B organizations, this signifies a fundamental shift in how your customers want to do business. The options are limited: innovate to thrive online or ignore the shift and rely only on “tested and true” methods. Participate to discover a Data-Driven approach to how JD Edwards B2B organizations can innovate and solidify and expand their industry positions into the uncertain future.

Objectives

Share leading insights and research on the importance of B2B Ecommerce.

Educate audience on how to quickly implement and launch a digital commerce platform.

Who doesn't want inventory updates in a timely manner? Updating safety stock each month can be time consuming and prone to manual data entry errors. It becomes even more of an issue when the first day of the month falls on a weekend. Eliminate weekend overtime and manual updates by letting Orchestrator update values based on effective dates.

Objectives

Understand JD Edwards Supplemental Database Setup to use Effective Dates for any data item in the system.

Review Orchestration that uses the Supplemental Database date to update the Safety Stock value of an item on the effective date.

Demonstrate how the Safety Stock value can be displayed on the MRP/DRP Time Series screen.

Part of being a JD Edwards Applications Consultant is finding innovative and creative ways to meet business requirements with unmodified software. That means we tend to dig into corners of the system that gather dust most of the time, and we try to make applications work a little differently than they were designed to do. Along the way, we trip over all kinds of unexpected quirks and "features" in the system. In this session I'll be sharing the some of the "Tips and Tricks" shared within the Distribution SIG at Terillium, Inc.. This will include applications that aren't on menus, ways to use standard features to do something entirely outside the intended functionality., and other cool "did you know that..." tidbits. Content will be focused primarily on Sales Order Management, Advanced Pricing, Procurement, Inventory Management and Transportation.

Objectives

Proide information and use case examples for using applications that don't appear on any EnterpriseOne standard menu task views.

Highlight some of the quirks regarding how configuration unexpectedly changes transactional processing...in a GOOD way!

Invite audience participation - I don't think that we have a monopoly on finding quirky features in the JD Edwards software. Come to share your own fabulous tips and tricks!

After upgrading to JDE 9.2, Ply Gem Siding (Cornerstone) was prepared to consolidate Materials Resource Planning across 9 facilities. In order to keep the big retailers stocked, they needed an automated scheduling and planning solution to plan product and buy raw materials to produce and distribute siding. Online calculations, total visibility across the supply chain and global functionality meant this booming business could continue to grow, but with advanced technology solutions that also helped planners work remotely in our unique Covid circumstances.

Objectives

Understand the requirements to implement Forecasting/MPS/MRP in a JDE environment while looking at the bigger picture of how it changes the landscape.

How to implement a solution that accommodates current economic conditions and supports trends and growth.

Hear about the unexpected benefits of a solution that—even in a pandemic—enables businesses to thrive.

Are you tired of spending all day in Outlook communicating with carriers in order to tender your shipments/loads? And then toggling back into JDE to assign carriers once they have accepted?

The ability to auto tender a carrier, or even better to cycle through a priority list of carriers, could save a substantial amount of time, not to mention the additional savings from always selecting the lowest cost provider to issue a tender, instead of choosing a carrier based on how quickly they respond to your e-mails.

Many JDE clients prefer the natural integration the JDE Transportation module has with the other distribution modules, but suffer from a lack of advanced features.

Join us as we discuss how we enhanced JDE in order to design an auto tendering solution to increase overall freight profitability, as well as to allow for real time communication with transportation carriers. If you are already using the JDE Transportation module, this is one session you do not want to miss!

Objectives

We will discuss the standard functionality available within the Transportation module, as well as some missing advanced features that most modern transportation solutions already have.

We will explain the auto tendering solution we designed in JDE, which could handle both e-mail and EDI tendering processes, in order to provide this advanced functionality, while also not compromising the existing standard functionality.

Last we will provide our valuable lessons learned throughout this project.
