For most clients, data integrity problems are a recurring headache. They can disrupt system processing of everything from checks and invoices to bills of material and shipping notices. Any point in a transaction where JD Edwards looks for data but can’t find it is a potential waste of time and opportunity. What if you had a way to automatically hunt down data integrity problems across your JD Edwards ERP system—before they happened? Now you do. Workbench is a unique solution designed to do the daily sleuth work for you automatically. It finds missing data elements like address fields, employee data, etc that interfere with the completion of successful transactions within JD Edwards. Workbench scours your chosen target areas and then provides workflows to automatically route trouble issues to the appropriate owner. These messages are linked to the application so problems can be easily fixed on the fly.
