Understanding Data Movement Configuration

To perform the data import and export between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing efficiently, you can define export and import configurations that enable you to run multiple data imports and exports simultaneously. Set up a configuration to group together the data export and import programs (UBEs) that you would typically run together because they share certain criteria. For example, you can create a configuration for data movement that you perform only once, such as importing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing base data, or that you perform frequently or even daily, such as importing sales orders.

The following import and export configurations are recommended:

  • Initial data import (in order): branch/plants, customers, suppliers, employees, items, kanban locations, bills of material.

  • Export before line live: bills of material, routings, kanban master records, kanban supply and consumption points.

  • Daily import: customers, sales orders.

  • Occasional export: kanban master records (after resizing).

After you have defined a configuration in the DFM Data Movement Configuration program (PF30L990), you attach the batch programs or jobs that you want to include in this configuration. For each batch program that you select, you have to specify the version that you want to run in the configuration.

Important: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing provides versions for most import programs, as well as the Export Purge Kanban Master program, that you can run from the menu. This capability enables you to run individual data imports and exports as needed without having to define a data movement configuration. When running data imports and exports from the menu, you must specify the scenario in the processing options.
