Hello all,
We’ve been trying to ascertain the issues and advantages of upgrading from 8.0 to 8.10.
1) Custom Coding: We have several custom applications (with lots of tables) and many custom financial reports (unorthodox COA prevented us from using most vanilla financial reports). It is my understanding that custom objects will upgrade from 8.0 to 8.10 without rewriting of code. I am aware that any JDE object that has been modified will need modified again, I’m more concerned with completely custom applications and reports. Our modifications to JDE objects is very limited.
2) Does anyone have or know of a documentation outlining the improvements in 8.10 vs 8.0. I have found documentation listing table upgrade etc, but not functionality change. I am specifically interested in 8.10 Job cost vs 8.0 Job cost.
3) Has anyone used the Z files for sales order importation or know if 8.10 differs from 8.0. We literally bring in 100s of sales order each day via custom code and the z files with the R4211Z
I’m not concerned with the CNC side of the upgrade, I’m sure I have a firm grasp on that portion including Unicode and it’s impact.
With it looking like Oracle is going to support XE/8.0 direct to Fusion finding reasons to upgrade are difficult, but the newer toolsets and sharing a common platform on the HTML code with the new releases semi interests us.
TIA
