JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software combines enterprise applications with an integrated toolset to tailor those applications to the needs of your business.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne refers to each group of its software products as an application suite. The application suites support manufacturing, financials, distribution or logistics, and human resource operations for multisite and multinational organizations. Your business needs determine what application suites are installed for your enterprise system. For complex business situations, you might use several application suites to achieve a comprehensive solution.
Each application suite is made up of systems. For example, the Financial Suite contains systems such as Enhanced Accounts Receivable, system 03B; Accounts Payable, system 04; General Accounting, system 09; Fixed Assets, system 12; and others. Each system consists of applications, forms, reports, and database tables that are designed to handle specific business needs.
Because the functions and features of all the systems are similar and integrated, you are not necessarily aware of moving from one system to another when working with various applications.
This guide often refers to Address Book, system 01, to illustrate the foundational concepts of JD Edwards software. Address Book, an online version of a traditional card file, is a database of names, addresses, and phone numbers that:
Provides easy access to all addresses for searching and reporting purposes
Reduces the need for duplication of records
Provides security through Business Unit assignment or Search Type authorization
Interfaces with other JD Edwards software systems
Because it is fundamental to business solutions, Address Book provides a realistic subject for learning the foundational concepts of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software. Many of the tasks that you perform use Address Book examples.
