1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources
This chapter contains the following topics:
1.1 Human Resources Overview
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne understands that no such thing as a standard human resources department exists. Management depends on you to respond to workforce and industry changes, government regulations, and the organization policies and procedures. The information that you need is unique and often complex.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources system tracks the information that you need to meet both the immediate and long range goals, as well as the demands of change and growth within the company and industry. You can access and compile the information quickly and provide quick answers to questions. Because the Human Resources system manages many mundane and repetitive tasks, you have more time to play a strategic role on the organization management team.
The Human Resources system provides these features:
-
Recruitment processing
-
Requisition management
-
Applicant tracking
-
Position budget management
-
Compensation management
-
Pay grade step progression
-
Competency management
-
Performance management
-
Health and Safety management
1.2 Human Resources Business Processes

We discuss these business processes in the business process chapters in this Implementation Guide.
1.3 Human Resources Integrations
The Human Resources system integrates with these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems:
-
Address Book
-
Human Capital Management Foundation
-
Payroll
-
General Accounting
-
Accounts Payable
-
Asset Lifecycle Management
We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this Implementation Guide. Supplemental information about third party application integrations is located on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Customer Connection website.
1.3.1 Address Book
The Address Book system maintains employee personal information such as name, address, and tax ID.
1.3.2 Human Capital Management Foundation
The Human Capital Management Foundation system tracks information that is shared with the Human Resources system:
-
Complete employee information.
-
Job information.
-
Pay type, deduction, benefit, and accrual (PDBA) information.
-
Time and labor information.
1.3.3 Payroll
The Payroll and Human Resources systems share a central database, enabling the system to reflect employee human resource changes immediately in the Payroll system. This ensures that each paycheck is up to date.
1.3.4 General Accounting
The Human Resources system creates salary budgets by business unit and update them in the general ledger.
1.3.5 Accounts Payable
You can set up the Payroll system, which is closely integrated with the Human Resources system, to create accounts payable vouchers for deductions and benefits that occur during payroll processing.
1.3.6 Asset Lifecycle Management
The Resource Management functionality within Asset Lifecycle Management uses the Human Resources Competency information to select assets and people with the right training, skills, accomplishments, certifications, education and language competencies for the job.
1.4 Human Resources Implementation
This section provides an overview of the global, core, and application steps that are required to implement the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources system.
In the planning phase of the implementation, take advantage of all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne sources of information, including the installation guides and troubleshooting information.
When determining which electronic software updates (ESUs) to install for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources, 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.
