JD Edwards Reporting Problems
– Files structured for data entry
• Hard to use for retrieval
– Odd formats for data:• Date: 107181 (6/30/07)
• Amounts: 15025 ($150.25)
– Hard to understand names• MCMCU = “Business Unit”
– Data fields user see on screen are not in database
• i.e., Current Year: Year-to- date actual amount
– Leading spaces: Bus. Unit_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1750 (“Plant 1”)
– Developing & storing meta data• Difficult / awkward process
– Incorporating data from other data sources into JD Edwards
