JD Edwards Release 24 Application Enhancements and Key Features
A few months ago the Oracle JD Edwards product team announced JDE release 24. This latest release includes many application enhancements and new digital transformation features. In this post, we’ll give an overview of the features worth mentioning and application updates in Manufacturing, Distribution, and Finance.
Quick Note on Navigating JDE Release Names
Release 24 uses the newer JDE naming convention that started a few years ago with Release 22. New release numbers used to be tacked on to the version number (for example 9.2.4), but to simplify, new JDE releases are now named for the year. It’s likely Release 25 will be coming at the end of this year.

Getting to JD Edwards Release 24
Businesses on an older version (pre-9.2) need to go through a traditional JD Edwards upgrade to get to the latest release. It’s a bigger initiative, a lot has changed between JDE 9.1 and the latest release.
If your company is on EnterpriseOne 9.2 – it’s a “mini-upgrade” process to get to Release 24. A mini-upgrade is not a major event, but certain things need to be tested from an integration standpoint. We can help do this using Orchestrator for some automated testing. We can also help you come up with a continuous improvement schedule to do these mini-upgrades and more.
A few things we recommend reviewing as part of your JDE upgrade:
- Infrastructure refresh – considering cloud infrastructure
- Integration/third-party application compatibility – especially when moving to 64-bit
- Doing a code freeze – limiting modifications once your JDE is code current
- Continuous adoption – setting up a continuous improvement schedule
Taking Advantage of a JDE Assessment for Your Business
We conduct a lot of JDE assessments for clients where we look at your organization holistically and review the areas where we can leverage technology to be more efficient. We do this based on your specific JDE tools release. We also do a JDE review from a strategic perspective and layout recommendations to help you move forward.
