Applicable to All, Human Capital Management: Affordable Care Act Reporting - What s on the Horizon Governor s Square 9, Lecture: Functional 104660: This session will focus on lessons learned in the first year-end reporting year and enhancement suggestions for the future. Asset Lifecycle Management/Enterprise Asset Management, Financials: How to Set up Short Year MACRS User Defined Depreciation AGONA Inc. Director s Row E, Case Study: Technical/Functional 103350: Due to legal entity changes, Centrum Communications needs to file their tax return based on two short periods for tax purposes. The first short period starts from 1/1/15 through 7/1/15 and it is used to record depreciation expense for assets with the MACRS date placed in service (DPIS) prior to July 2. The second short period is used to file taxes with a consolidated group from 7/2/15-12/31/15. The two short periods represents the total depreciation expense booked for a calendar year and does not necessarily represent the entire assets first recovery year. Due to the unique requirements, for tax purposes the standard MACRS table in JDE cannot be used to accommodate the requirements. Centrum needs custom user defined depreciation (UDD) configured in JDE in order to properly record expenses for these types of assets.

Manufacturing and Distribution, Supply Chain Management: Practical Approach to Providing Capable to Promise at Sales Order Entry Time C&A Technology Plaza Court 8, Lecture: Technical/Functional 100100: Although you can purchase Oracle s Global Order Promising software, we developed a more cost effective approach to proving prospects and customers with capable to promise information at sales order entry time. Everyone knows JDE provides available to promise information. However, if you are make to order, or you don t have product in stock at the moment, how do you tell a prospect or customer what when you are capable of promising product, without just quoting standard lead times. Standard lead times are usually longer than what you can really do. We developed a way to look at cumulative manufacturing and purchase lead times, capacities, and quantities on hand of component parts to give customer service people more accurate dates to promise product to customers. This is helping turn prospects into customers and keep existing customers. And we improved the ability to ship on time. Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate: JDE Financial Data Meets IoT Data Boston Properties, NOI Strategies Grand Ballroom 1, Tower 2nd Level, Lecture: Technical/Functional 105470: The session will review and discuss real and potential use cases for merging data being sourced from IoT and facility-based systems in commercial real estate with JDE financial data.

Real Estate: From Entry to Missing Sales Letters, How Regency Centers Automated & Improved Tenant Sales Process Regency Centers Corporation Tower Court A, Tower 2nd Level, Lecture: Technical/Functional 105350: Last year, we presented our sales entry improvements and the proposed process for managing missing sales reports. We have since been able to implement the missing sales report maintenance and we would like to demo it for you! Phase 1 - Sales Entry Improvements - DONE! In production September 2014. We streamlined the Sales Entry into one screen in JDE EnterpriseOne. This one screen allows entry of expected sales, unexpected sales and adjusted sales to be done at once. Phase 2 - Missing Sales Maintenance - DONE! In production January 2016. We created a standardized way of handling missing sales. It encompasses capturing actions taken related to the missing sales (sending a 1 time letter or sending a letter with built in escalation) as well as allowing for improved reporting. Phase 3 - Sales Reporting - depending on the audience, the request for reports related to sales and missing sales varies greatly. We plan on starting this 4th quarter this year.

Applicable to All, Asset Lifecycle Management/Enterprise Asset Management: Supplemental Data - The Equipment Manager s User-defined Friend Amalgamated Sugar Governor s Square 17, Demonstration: Functional 104310: Part of the appeal of the legacy systems many customers built themselves for handling maintenance activities was that they could be entirely designed to the needs of the maintenance organization. Need a new field here, or a screen there? No problem. With the introduction of packaged Maintenance Management Systems came the structure that IT organizations like to have and support; but at the price of some of the flexibility to adapt the system to your particular use or industry. One of their biggest issues is where to store the OEM Nameplate Information, Operational/Calibration/Transportation Information, or even track Regulatory data. While the design of the EAM system could not foresee every possible data collection need of the customers, JD Edwards did give the customers a place where they can, to an extent, design a data repository to capture this information in a format that serves their needs. This is done using the Supplemental Data functionality. questdirect.org/infocus JD Edwards INFOCUS 2016 - A JD Edwards Deep-dive Event 27
