JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Project Manufacturing Overview

The business processes for production controlled items can be more complex than those for standard manufactured items because of the production numbers associated with production controlled items.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Project Manufacturing to define and manage production controlled items. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Project Manufacturing enables you to view, adjust, issue, and transfer production controlled items.
