9. Fulfillment Management: Solutions for Your Inventory Commitment Challenges
Bernadette Durham, Solution Architect at Terillium Inc.
Thursday, October 27 | 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM EDT
Session ID:102050
Standard inventory commitment processes in JD Edwards do not always offer the flexibility we need to prioritize how we allocate available inventory to meet sales order demand. Perhaps we want to prioritize certain customers, but still be able to recognize when other customer orders need to take priority to be filled. Or maybe there is a need to define different inventory allocation rules for different product types or different order types. Fulfillment Management gives us the tools to manage inventory allocation with significantly more flexibility, allowing automation of both simple and complex priority rules that can be based on customer, product, order attributes including line type, and order dates. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of how Fulfillment Management functionality can reduce manual effort managing inventory allocation in your business.
Objectives
- Compare standard inventory commitment processes with the options available in Fulfillment Management.
- Show how Basic Scoring and Advanced Preference Scoring options work and how they can provide the ability to flexibly define inventory allocation rules. Provide a detailed look at configuration of Service Level Rules.
- Review the Fulfillment Workbench to demonstrate that real world exceptions are still accommodated and that manual overrides can be executed simply and quickly.

You might have heard, “It’s all about the data,” and let’s face it: the only reason you put data into your JD Edwards ERP system is because one day, for some reason, you’ll need to get it back out. You’ll need to share it with third-party systems and Cloud services; you’ll need to push it to mobile devices and web applications; you’ll need to generate documents and reports; you’ll need to chart and graph it for analysis and insight about your business. Orchestrator can be your workhorse for extracting data from your EnterpriseOne business data, and even from third party systems, but how? And how many ways are there to do it? As it turns out, there are a lot of ways. Come to this session to get a survey of the many ways Orchestrator can help you mine and refine your “digital gold.”
