Section 1.3, "JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis Implementation"
As a complement to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Capital Asset Management (CAM) product, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system provides companies with the ability to perform detailed cost analysis on the equipment that they own and maintain. Equipment cost analysis benefits companies that use a variety of equipment and need to identify current problem areas or track increasing operational costs that point to future problems. For example, you could compare the maintenance costs for a group of related equipment over a number of financial years, or compare the maintenance costs for a type of equipment operating under a number of different operating environments or across different sites.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis functionality is designed to supplement existing financial inquiries by providing the tools to analyze existing equipment cost information that is based on equipment coding rather than account coding. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis enables you to generate and review cost summaries for equipment and assets. Cost summaries are based on relationships that you define for equipment. These relationships can be hierarchical, which are based on a hierarchy of equipment records; and logical, which are based on category codes that you use when setting up equipment and assets. For example, to summarize costs at the truck level, a trucking company might define a hierarchy relationship between all of the components of a vehicle. A utility company might establish category code relationships that represent different circuits to compare costs across different circuits.
With the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis system, you can:
Define groups and subgroups of equipment or assets that you want to include in cost analysis.
Summarize costs that are based on the parent/child hierarchical relationship between equipment records.
Review the total cost of maintaining an equipment assembly when, due to its size and critical role, the assembly has been broken down into components for history and cost tracking.
Summarize costs that are based on equipment category code relationships between equipment records.
Review the total cost of maintaining a specific type of equipment or an equipment group within a production plant, including the costs that are associated with the equipment components.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis system integrates with these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CAM
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis system works with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems to ensure that all information is fully integrated into the general ledger. We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters of this implementation guide. Supplemental information about third-party application integrations is located in the My Oracle Web site at https://support.oracle.com.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis is a supplement to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CAM system. You use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis to analyze the costs that are associated with the assets and equipment that you enter and manage using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CAM system.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis system uses cost information that is stored in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger and has been posted to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Assets balance table to calculate the costs that are associated with each asset or piece of equipment.
This section provides an overview of the steps that are required to implement the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Cost Analysis system.
In the planning phase of an implementation, take advantage of all Oracle sources of information, including the installation guides and troubleshooting information.
When determining which electronic software updates (ESUs) for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CBM, use the EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant. EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant, a Java-based tool, reduces the time required to search and download ESUs by 75 percent or more and enables you to install multiple ESUs at one time.

A business interface is a set of components that implementation teams can use to create an integration between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and an external system. Business interfaces can include one or more of these business interface components:
Business Services
Real-Time Events
Batch Import and Export Programs
