As with most ERP systems, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with full Supply Chain Planning capability.  Whether or not you wish to implement statistical forecasting or advanced Master Production Scheduling the product will provide full functionality to support and enhance your business process.

However Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne takes traditional MRPII and Procurement process further so that we can manage and record all operations commencing at the farm through to the point of consumption.  This is achieved with the introduction of new modules such as Grower Management, Grower Contracts and Payments (linked to Weighbridge receipts) and improved lot and batch control that enable you to provide chain of custody from the beginning of the process until the end. 

 If traditional MRPII concepts are not enough, Oracle’s Value Chain Planning Solution integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with unrivalled capabilities.  A comprehensive Procurement module including things such as Supplier Self Service, Purchase Order Templates and a RFQ process are included.

Most ERP systems on the market cater for the standard Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets and General Ledger modules.  Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne takes this further providing you with additional functionality including, Multi Company and Multi Business Unit, flexible Chart of Accounts, Expense Management, Budgeting and more.

Australian Payroll and HRM

Please click here for information on the MEAC and Oracle Solution.

Many ERP system sold in Australia do not come with Australian Payroll or HRM modules.  This often results in expensive integrations, dual entry of data or outsourcing of critical back office functions. 

Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a suite of integrated Payroll and HRM applications designed to overcome the problems mentioned above and help streamline HR operations by reducing time-intensive administrative tasks and lowering costs by deploying self-service applications. Modules and functionality provided include Australia Payroll, Time Sheet Entry, e-Recruitment, Performance Management, Compensation Management and Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service.

Logistics

Although most ERP systems contain good inventory functionality, not all extend this to the extent required by Australian Manufacturing organisations.  Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne goes against this trend extending inventory management to include advanced warehousing, transportation planning and bulk stock inventory.  Full lot and batch control with excellent track and trace capability linked to Quality Management is included.

Reporting and Analytics

Please click here for information on the MEAC and Oracle Solution.

Most ERP systems provide report writing capability and integration with Microsoft Office products, as does Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.  However in addition to this JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a sophisticated Plant Managers Dashboard and Financial Compliance Console.  These two applications provide graphical displays of key Manufacturing, Sales, Logistics and Financial metrics, out of the box.

If more sophistication is required, Oracle provides a range of pre-formatted Business Intelligence “Applications” which are integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
