This annual update continues the JD Edwards model year naming convention—so customers can easily compare it to their current version. Release 25 introduces key improvements aligned with strategic initiatives including enterprise automation, sustainability, and user experience enhancements.

The new Process Modeler provides a graphical tool for depicting processes and the interrelationships among processes, defining metrics about those processes, and visualising a real-time view of how those processes are running. Key capabilities include:

• Drag-and-drop functionality.
• Status-specific KPIs.
• Snapshot comparisons for post-optimisation analysis.

Release 25 includes targeted updates that simplify financial operations. A standout feature is the ability to assign delinquency fees based on the business unit from the invoice, enhancing flexibility beyond the traditional address book setup.

Release 25 bundles several usability enhancements into the licence plate workbench to streamline operations. For real estate customers, editing tax information directly within the manual billing programme is now simpler, reducing the number of clicks needed.

Release 25 marks JD Edwards’ first major step in sustainability. It enables JD Edwards to serve as a reliable data source for scope 1 stationary emissions, integrating with Oracle EPM’s sustainability framework to meet reporting standards.

From integrating the Performance Workbench directly into Server Manager to simplifying the development client setup by centralising web servers, Release 25 aims to ease system administration, translating to fewer challenges for developers and more streamlined operations.
