Our many years of experience integrating EDI with the JD Edwards (JDE) EnterpriseOne^TMand World^TM ensures a thorough and timely process automation project. We do integrations to Sterling Commerce's Gentran:Server^TM, Sterling Integrator^TM or SI (also known as Gentran Integration Suite or GIS), Inovis' TrustedLink^TM and Biz^TM products, IBM's DataStage TX^TM (formerly Mercator), Tie Commerce's eVision^TM, and others. We can help you determine if you can integrate with your existing EDI system or help determine the best software fit for your system.

EnterpriseOneTM version 8 has new interface formats that require re-mapping. This is also the time to add new fields (elements) and connect to public warehouses, truckers, and parcel carriers. DCS also has in-depth experience with R47 programs and writing directly to F47 tables, including activity rules and UDCs. Overview Integration with JDE is a significant task. Properly integrating files can be complex and difficult to tackle. For example, user exits, activity rules, or UDC scripts are frequently used when mapping to/from an intermediate, positional (“flat”) file or ODBC mapping. We work with the three components of reliable and economical EDI: 1. The JD Edwards gateway 2. Your existing EDI system 3. Secure Internet data transmission (AS2 or AS3) EDI too often is an afterthought during the upgrade or suddenly comes up as an “on demand” project requested by a key customer that needs to be completed yesterday. In both scenarios you are forced to piece together a workable solution. This is something that you must do well to ensure best business practices are being followed, since future development is built on this foundation. Here are the necessary deliverables you must provide: Planning Identify key resources and opportunities in your environment. Develop the project plan with all of its appropriate components (including training). Set up your development and test EDI systems. EDI Development Create a comprehensive map for each key Transaction Set, e.g. INbound Purchase Order (850). Customize the comprehensive map for each customer Set up and test communications between the translator and the interface. Set up data and transmission testing: setting AS2 or FTP over your VPN to your customer's test mailbox. This is done while working closely with the firewall manager. Archive off the old EDI system and data. JDE Development Set up the document types and processing rules. Check the address book to ensure all customer locations and their part numbers have been added. Set up the F47 tables required to receive/send (UDC codes, Partner Cross-References, Partner Profiles, etc.). Implementation Install and test the finished maps and setup. Train users (Customer Service, Accounts Receivable, and more). Train I.T. (daily operations and mapping). Have help available for production down support and system monitoring. Conclusion Let DCS help you build your EDI foundation or add more process automation. Since setting up JD Edwards EDI is straight forward but not trivial, we recommend DCS NEXT LEVEL™ Conversion service. Your integration will be thorough, quick, and economical due to our many years of JDE EDI experience. Having DCS develop the first few Trading Partners and communication parameters lowers the cost of implementation and hastens payback. Most of the US companies requiring X12, EDIFACT, or GS1 (standardized XML) are well known to us. Popular EDI Transaction Sets such as Inbound PO's (850), Outbound ASN's (856), Outbound Invoices (810), Inbound Releases (830), and Outbound PO Acknowledgements (855) have been implemented at many of our customers. You may also consider 3PL EDI (94x series) and Transportation EDI (21x series). DCS experience extends to the add-ons for JD Edwards created by the above EDI systems. Connections using EDI INT AS2 or FTP over a VPN reduce cost by elimination of pricey Value Added Networks. Finally, DCS has helped many companies convert their EDI from lesser MRP systems to JD Edwards (JDE). DCS’ practical EDI specialists know the integration of JD Edwards and its gateway is straightforward but not trivial. We can help you avoid common pitfalls and headaches when implementing EDI with your E1 or World application. DCS is eager to work with your JD Edwards dealer. Our experience is with the EDI/E-C Gateway: we do not seek non-EDI work. Your first step is easy, email DCS for your Free Assessment.
