This session highlights PCL’s ambitious HCM transformation, focused on consolidating payroll operations from 26 distinct JD Edwards ERP instances into a single, unified platform. With over 15,000 employees and more than $1 billion in annual payroll across multiple countries and currencies, this initiative represents one of the most complex payroll consolidations in the construction industry.

The presentation will cover the strategy behind remapping and harmonizing HCM master data—such as Union Codes, Job Types, Job Steps, PDBAs, Benefit Plans, and Wage Attachments—to support accurate, compliant, and uninterrupted payroll processing across diverse districts. A rigorous cross-referencing approach ensured data integrity, avoided duplication, and allowed for localized business needs to continue seamlessly within a standardized global framework.

Attendees will gain insight into the technical, operational, and reconciliation challenges overcome during the project, including how end-to-end payroll accuracy was achieved and validated at scale. We’ll also share lessons learned and key success factors for managing HCM transformations in complex, decentralized environments.

Discover how URUS transformed its JDEdwards data from a complex operational system into a strategic engine for growth. This presentation moves beyond foundational reporting to showcase how a mature enterprise analytics strategy delivers tangible business outcomes. We will share real-world examples of how we expanded self-service capabilities and integrated new data sources for a holistic view of our business. Not all journeys are without their bumps; celebrate the good, protect yourself from the bad and get ready for the ugly in this unapologetic view of their data journey.

In this session, we will explore a cutting-edge Demand Forecasting solution designed to integrate seamlessly with JD Edwards (JDE) and modern technology platforms. The presentation will cover how data from JDE is extracted into a cloud data lake, where it is enriched with third-party information such as federal interest rates, inflation rates, unemployment figures, weather data, and industry-specific trends. Using current best-in-class machine learning (ML) models, this enriched dataset is transformed into accurate and actionable forecasts. We will then demonstrate how these forecasts are consumed in Microsoft Power Apps via an interactive user interface, enabling users to approve, adjust, and insert data into the forecast. Finally, attendees will learn how forecasts are inserted back into JDE via JDE Orchestrator for MRP optimization, while Power BI provides dynamic reporting for comparing forecasts against actual sales.
This presentation is ideal for JD Edwards users, business analysts, supply chain professionals, and IT leaders looking to improve forecasting accuracy and streamline their Material Requirements Planning (MRP) processes. Attendees will gain insights into leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning, Power Apps, and Power BI to create a unified, interactive, and scalable forecasting solution.

Upgrading JD Edwards tools is never a simple lift-and-shift—especially when you’re supporting 1,200+ concurrent users, managing multiple integrations, and adapting to changes in project leadership. In this session, Toll Brothers will walk through their recent journey from Release 21 to Release 24 tools, including the move from Windows Server 2016/SQL Server 2016 to a modern Windows 2022/SQL Server 2022 stack and the rollout of E1 tools 9.2.8.2/4.
You will learn how the team overcame challenges related to team turnover, tight outage windows, server consolidation, and complex testing due to deeply integrated business processes. The session will also highlight specific benefits realized from the upgrade, including the use of virtual batch queues, AIS scheduler improvements, orchestration enhancements, and web-app server optimizations. Whether you're preparing for a tools upgrade or navigating similar internal constraints, this session will offer tactical insights and lessons learned from a real customer project

Quadra has challenges like other organizations transitioning from a small to a medium-sized company
where different business segment(s) processes are different. Quadra embarked on a comprehensive
review of its system architecture and its business processes to develop a 3-5-year-roadmap to support its
business growth. One of the key aspect is to reengineer JDE processes using latest tools like Orchestration, process modelling and AI agents. In this session we would like to present how this was performed and what did we learn.

Our journey begins with the introduction and adoption of JDE extensibility to an organization well versed in traditional E1 utilization but had not yet explored this new world. We will use this session to explore practical and intermediate-level solutions that complement our traditional E1 development, with a modern solution architecture, balancing agility, governance, and user experience. We will journey through several use cases to demonstrate how our team integrated form and logic extensibility into our toolset to:
1. Send notifications when new companies are setup
2. Dynamically hide and show form controls
3. Capturing field-level changes (before-and-after values) as an audit control
4. Enable singular field updates within a new business process

Whether you're just beginning your own extensibility journey or looking to refine your approach, this session will be designed to provide practical real-world use cases that can provide an awakening to possibilities enabled within the JDE extensibility framework. We will detail our solutions and lessons learned for how we are starting to unlock the full potential of JDE E1’s extensibility framework—without going to the dark side.

The Assertion Manager is a tool developed within Orchestrator that enables you to create a master list of all your pre-existing orchestrators and their corresponding validations from the Assertion Framework. This allows for sequential, background execution of each process.

At the end of the entire run, the tool captures all results and automatically generates a final report, which is sent as a notification. This comprehensive CSV report provides a complete overview for analysis, including:

The name of the orchestrator that was executed.
The input data used for the execution.
The expected outcome.
The actual value obtained.
The validation type performed (e.g., Equal, Greater Than, Less Than, Not Equal).
The pass/fail result of the validation.
The server-side execution time.

To use the Assertion Manager, you simply need to prepare your tests, create the necessary orchestrators, build the list of orchestrators to run, and create a configuration file for each one containing the test data and expected results. This configuration data also serves as a reliable backup for your process information.

Currently, the Assertion Manager uses CSV files for input, but it can also be configured to accept JSON.
