Digital innovation drives JDE modernization

Leveraging digital technologies is a big part of value proposition in JDE modernization. Deloitte has developed a number of automations and integrations to help companies to accelerate their digital transformations and realize value faster. 

• Three-way voucher-match—A bot matches vouchers with taxes and domestic and foreign currencies. If a verification fails, the bot emails the user with a reason.
• Data-integrity check—A bot runs integrity-check jobs in JDE, reviews report outputs, and notifies users to resolve issues.
• Receipts settlement evaluation—Uses RPA to execute an Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) program in JDE; verifies JDE vouchers by matching them with physical invoices from suppliers.
• Item master data management—Bots facilitate automatic, mass updates to item masters and item branch masters.
• Purchase-order RPA—A bot closes open purchase orders in JDE; updates the log files; and communicates the status to users by email.
• Financial close automation—Provides an integrated framework for combining the power of RPA and JDE UX One. Helps to streamline, centralize, automate and provide visibility into the financial close process.
• Freight voucher match—A bot logs into JDE; finds the shipment details for the invoice received; and confirms that the details are correct, such as the supplier, weight, and billable and payable charges based on freight handling. Once validated, the bot matches the invoice to a freight voucher and posts the voucher transaction.
• IoT-based touchless procurement, inventory adjustment, and cycle count—Enables real-time transaction processing by utilizing sensor readings from Oracle IOT Cloud Service using JDE E1 Orchestrator.
• AI/ML-driven clean EDI—Uses AI and ML to automatically resolve inbound EDI errors.
• JDE integration with Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace blockchain solution—Gives eligible internal or external stakeholders secure, real-time, traceable access to transactional data across the supply chain.
