2. Product Updates:
We've got an array of product updates lined up to make EASYProcess a breeze. Check them out below.

  • Switch Service Revision

As of DesignTime Revision 2499 and RunTime Revision 1150 a new service called Switch will be added which allows the user to create a multi-exit service.
This service takes in a single expression and uses the evaluated value to determine which exit the service will use.

The user can configure the exits using the exit editor accessible from the exit icon on the Switch service. The side, position, name, and color can all be modified here along with creating and deleting exits.

  • Loop Multi-Threading Revision

As of DesignTime Revision 2381 and RunTime Revision 1041 the Loop service now has the ability to utilize multiple threads in order to process records more efficiently. Users have three new nodes on the Loop service.

  • MultiThreaded: This True/False value determines whether the loop service will have multithreading enabled.
  • NumberOfThreads: This numeric value determines how many threads the loop service will use if the MultiThreaded node is set to True.
  • WaitForThreads: This True/False value is not constrained to if the MultiThreaded node is True and will allow the logic to move to the next service before finishing the Loop. (Note: Loop logs for any service with this value set to True will not display under the parent logic object. They are only available under the loop itself.)
  • Controller Parameter Changes Revision

We have so many more updates! Check them out here:

AP Automation is a way to reduce the manual tasks related to your Accounts Payable Processes. Our A/P Invoice Automation is based on our low-code platform, EASYProcess.

AWS Textract AI-Based Query Document API is used to intelligently get invoice information without needing position-based templates. AP Automation will eliminate time-consuming and error-prone manual processes with a fully automated system that includes all these features:

  • No Mapping, No Template, OCR AI Does All the Work
  • Uses EASYProcess Robust Workflow Engine to Handle Approvals & Exceptions

2. Tredegar Case-Study "Replacing Excel/Email with Low-Code Platform: Centralizing Master Data Management - MRO, Product Definition (PLM) and More…"
May 8, 2023 at 4:30pm - 5:15pm in the Sapphire Room

Accurate master data is the bedrock for system integrity. It guides users through the master data process to ensure the data is entered, approved, and finally loaded, via integrations, into JDE. It also utilizes system processes to reduce manual input for improved accuracy and efficiency.

This demo will include several processes we use to achieve these goals:

  • MRO: This process allows users to request and approve new MRO items and then utilize a third party to scrub the data and accurately categorize prior to loading items to JDE.
  • Purchase Items: Purchased item requests can be manually entered or fed into the request form by our product engineers via our PLM application. Requests are entered, approved, and systematically loaded to JDE.
  • Finished Goods: New finished goods SKU requests are entered, approved then the items, UOM conversions, BOM's and routings are loaded to JDE. There are several validations to ensure data accuracy and verify the items are allowed based on our PLM application.

3. JDE Vendor Onboarding Portal for Create/Manage Supplier Master
May 10, 2023 at 10:15am - 11:00am in Room De Soto A

This E1/App demo session will focus on how you can optimize and automate your vendor onboarding process and can easily build a single source of truth for your vendor data.

An Excel, Email & Folders model results in incorrect/missing data & time-consuming inefficiencies.

Intelligent Forms & Workflows with approval notifications aligned with real-time JDE integration are a necessity.

App Demo Topics Include:

  • Vendor: Create / Change/ Inactivation / Reactivation
  • Document: Grouping / Type Management & Invoice Doc Mgmt.
  • Workflows: By Type, Spend Threshold, Services & More
  • Notifications: Email, SMS Text, Native Mobile App
  • Integrations: Compliance, Validations, Additional Vetting Apps, etc.
  • Audit: Full History with Auto Date/Time Stamps on All Activity
  • Web & Mobile: Web App with Mobile Browser & Native App
  • JDE Integration: BSFN, Orchestrator or Hybrid
  • Reports: Parsing Request by Status, Bottlenecks, Date/Time Range

All Companies Strive to Optimize JDE Vendor or Other (Item, Customer, PO) Master Records. Attend this session to start your journey to Process Automation.

4. First Quantum Case-Study: JDE Integrated Low-Code Platform for Process Automation, Workflow & Efficiencies. Item & Vendor Onboarding, CapEx Approval & Vendor Portal.
May 10, 2023 at 2:45pm - 3:45pm in Room Coronado C

First Quantum Minerals is a global mining company that specializes in the exploration, development, and production of copper, gold, nickel, and other base metals. The company is a major player in the global mining industry.

First Quantum wanted to implement modern web and mobile applications to replace outdated legacy systems and improve operational efficiency.

The K-Rise Low-Code Platform, EASYProcess eliminates data entry issues and provides easy workflow setup and change with real-time notifications and delegation capabilities.

Creating best practices in modern web/mobile apps for strategic business value is critical. We're replacing standalone Excels (but maintaining Excel Import/Export), Dropbox Folders, and inefficient legacy systems.

Our new apps have eliminated replicated data entry issues, and missing & incorrect data while providing significant efficiencies. Easy workflow setup/change with robust real-time notifications (email, text, native app) with delegation, parallel workflow sequencing, escalation & assignment logic is essential.

This session will review our many low-code platform apps like:

  • Item Master & Vendor Onboarding
  • Vendor Portal for Pre-Pay Management
  • Reconciliation for Damaged & Short Items against the JDE PO.

We'll review real-time JDE Integration with Orchestrations (current trend), BSFN, UDC Tables for Validation, Media Object, Status Codes, and more.
