The Challenge: Canfor Southern Pine purchasing to and from Hexagon EAM to JD Edwards
The Solution: Canfor implemented the Hexagon Webservices Connection Toolkit
Industry: Lumber Manufacturing
# of Active Equipment Records: 5,873
Products: Hexagon EAM Enterprise Edition
Product Add-ons: Hexagon Webservices Toolkit
The Result/Benefits: The AP Department is able to continue using JD Edwards for purchasing/tracking financials while sites using EAM are able to use the Purchasing Module and not have to double enter data into 2 different systems.
The Specifics: For Canfor Southern Pine to integrate the 2 applications, there are 3 custom grids (GL Custom Grid, PO Receipts for Parts, PO Receipts for Services) that are built and used to push purchasing information and inventory transactions from EAM to JDE. All Suppliers are in the common (*) org and the supplier codes mirror JDE. Units of Measure were also updated so they matched the UOMs that JDE allowed.
