Getting Started with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Integration with Oracle Transportation Management

This chapter provides an overview of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne integration with Oracle Transportation Management.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Integration with Oracle Transportation Management Overview

The integration of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle Transportation Management enhances Oracle's EnterpriseOne solution by providing robust transportation planning and execution capabilities for shippers and third-party logistics providers. This integration:

Enables the streamlining of all transportation planning, transportation execution, and freight payment on a single application.
Provides a complete collaborative solution for logistics operations, suppliers, service providers, carriers, customers, purchasing, and finance.
Accommodates all modes of transportation from full truckload to complex multi-leg air, ocean, and rail shipments.
Lowers transportation costs and improves customer service and asset utilization, while providing flexible, global fulfillment options.
Increases supply chain reliability, customer service levels, and asset utilization.
Improves process efficiencies, high performance optimization, and seamless order processing

An additional benefit is that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides choices, so that customers may:

Implement JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to Oracle Transportation Management whereby implementing the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system is not required.
Continue using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne module without using Oracle Transportation Management.
Run both JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle Transportation Management systems parallel to one another.

Functional Interface

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interacts with Oracle Transportation Management in two functional areas:

Functional Area	Description
Sales Order Management	You create sales orders in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system sends the sales order information to the Oracle Transportation Management system to arrange transportation for the sold inventory. The Oracle Transportation Management system arranges the transportation and sends the shipment information to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system sends the shipment confirmation to Oracle Transportation Management. After accepting the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne shipment confirmation, Oracle Transportation Management executes transportation confirmation back to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management. It also sends voucher information to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system for payment.
Procurement	You create purchase orders in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system sends the purchase order information to the Oracle Transportation Management system to arrange transportation for the purchased inventory. The Oracle Transportation Management system arranges shipment and does all of the planning. It then sends voucher information to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system for payment.
