Presented by Eric Kuefler

Session ID: 101790

Whether you’re on World or EnterpriseOne, if you are running IBM POWER, you need a roadmap to a hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure that leverages your IBM investment, your JDE Investment, virtualization, storage, Containerization, HA and other modern frameworks.  

In this session, we will show you a path that will leverage your IBM POWER system and cloud without a rip-and-replace. We will provide recent customer case studies for migrating from internal storage to external and cloud storage, CNC and network considerations, and options to leverage public and private cloud for your IBM POWER system.

Objectives

  • JDE & IBM POWER roadmap for a Hybrid Multi-Cloud environment
  • Key architectural and technical (CNC) considerations
  • Approaches to modernizing JDE and IBM POWER environments; costs & benefits

E1 Fixed Assets Foundation for Equipment & Plant Maintenance, Service & Warranty and More!

Thursday, October 22 at 2:30 pm ET

Presented by David Cutler

Session ID: 101610

JD Edwards E1 Fixed Assets is a robust product that not only provides the ability to track and depreciate your company's assets, but also serves as the foundation for other related modules, such as Service and Warranty Management or Equipment and Plant Maintenance. 

Frequently, Fixed Asset duties get assigned to a staff accountant who can become quickly overwhelmed with the differences in functionality and the intricacies of Fixed Assets accounting vs. General Ledger accounting. This review will discuss the JD Edwards Fixed Assets system as a true subledger and its unique features, common misunderstandings, and its unique architecture and functionality. We will detail the differences accounting personnel will need to be aware of in their day-to-day work.

Objectives

The discussion will start by providing an overview of JD Edwards Fixed Assets as a stand-alone ledger and why is it unique in the financial suite in JD Edwards.

Here, we will touch on the most important concepts accountants need to grasp when starting work in JD Edwards Fixed Assets for the first time. The discussion will center on how working in Fixed Assets differs from General Ledger or Cost Accounting.

This section will focus on real-world examples of where common accounting logic can go tragically wrong in the Fixed Assets world. The use of common General Ledger accounting tasks & processes can lead to bad results and integrity issues.
