Rewrite the rules for JD Edwards reporting and reconciliations
As you know, JD Edwards (JDE) is great for entering and storing transactions. However, like most ERP systems, extracting and working with all essential data can be a challenge. This session will demonstrate how solutions built specifically for JDE, like Insight Reporting, deliver visibility to key information so you can make quicker, more informed decisions. Operational users will gain productivity by simplifying  the report creation process- without technical help from IT. In addition, Insight Reconciler™ streamlines month-end reconciliation between your GL and AP, AR, Inventory, Fixed Assets and 'Received Not Vouchered' information. No crazy reports that don’t solve your problem. No Pivot Table Madness. Just JD Edwards reconciliation made easy.
