  Master Business Functions - Part 2, Transaction Data MBFs

By Russel Bartunek  
Size: 1.58 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:10/6/2020
Here at JDEtips, we've worked with many clients over the years that really didn't understand the magic behind the curtains, otherwise known as Master Business Functions. One of the greatest attributes of JD Edwards is the fact that it is so highly configurable, but how can you configure it if you don't understand what goes on behind the scenes? Russ does an especially good job of not only explaining the power of MBFs, but he explains the flow of data between the applications and literally even as it is passed between multiple Master Business Functions. You will fully understand the results of each and every Processing Option setting, which makes this article a gold mine!  

  Master Business Functions - Part 1, Master Data MBFs

By Russel Bartunek  
Size: 1.10 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:7/7/2020
Master Business Functions (MBFs) are interactive programs with processing options that are "called" or referenced by other programs. MBFs are shared by many programs so that data management is consistent throughout the system. While JDE contains many MBFs, only a handful are user configurable. It is this category of MBFs which Russ will be focusing on in this article.

   JDE Julian Dates and a Tribute to Johnny Carson

By Kevin Montgomery  
Size: 140KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:11/10/2005
Well, it looks as if we are going to have to establish a new category for the JDEtips Document Library. We considered running this as our humor piece, but it has so much good technical information in it, we couldn't quite see that. Can't go in World Technical, because it's applicable to both World and EnterpriseOne. So, you will just have to decide for yourself whether to read this for a good laugh or to read it for the last word on the JDE Julian Date conundrum.
