Key improvements in JD Edwards Release 25

Financial improvements

The financial functionalities in JD Edwards Release 25 have been further expanded, such as the ability to allocate overdue payments to the business unit of the invoice. This makes it easier to keep your accounting structured and organized. Another improvement is the extended scope of account IDs, allowing you to use alphanumeric IDs. This is particularly helpful for large organizations dealing with mergers, ensuring smooth administration.

Sales: Order-to-Cash integration with Warehouse

Enterprise Automation for Order to Cash now makes it possible to leverage real-time data to optimize sales processes. It helps you keep track of orders at all critical stages of the process, allowing you to identify and resolve bottlenecks sooner. This improves customer satisfaction and optimizes your key performance indicators (KPIs).

Additionally, JD Edwards introduces a process model template for Order to Cash. This template provides clear guidelines for efficiently organizing and coordinating tasks in your sales processes, contributing to faster and more accurate order fulfillment.

Procurement: Procure to Pay and automation

The procurement process also benefits from new automation. Thanks to the integration of Procure to Pay with Warehouse, you can now easily track and improve putaway processes. The new KPIs – such as cycle time, accuracy, and location usage – provide valuable insights to further optimize your warehouse management.

Moreover, Release 25 introduces two-way voucher matching. This increases the level of automation for purchase orders that do not require a receipt, leading to fewer manual errors and lower labor costs.

ESG: Focus on sustainability

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role within organizations, and JD Edwards supports this with the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework. The new tool allows you to easily collect environmental data, such as the fuel consumption of stationary combustion sources. This data can be stored directly in a central database, contributing to more transparent and responsible business operations.

Tools for digital transformation

Another great addition in JD Edwards Release 25 is the Enterprise Process Modeler. With this graphical tool, you can design and visualize business processes in real time. This makes it easier to track statistics and quickly respond to changes in your organization.

Orchestrator Studio now also allows you to include system values, such as environment and user IDs, in orchestration output. This enhances efficiency and makes it even easier to automate processes.
