Localization

[Alexb]

Localization question: Do any of the JDE localizations require a dedicated JDE environment, or will they work with a single JDE environment containing multiple companies and multiple dbcs languages?

I may be a bit confused by your terminolgy, but... When we added a localization for Europe, we set up a distinct data library, and shared the common library across the European and US operations. This allowed us to more easily maintain inventory: we could use the same part number but different units of measure; more easily set up currency: domestic in US in $ in Europe is Euro. And while I am not the accounting expert, more easily keep the financials separate. And at the same time, use the same (although set up differently) dreamwriters. We did have to modify several DW to handle European requirements, JDE is written with a US bias, and use options to define US ir European formats.

Alexb,

Your question is "multiple faceted"! What platform are you referring
to? What sort of organization is relevant? What do you know of JDE
(base fact - it supports multiple company set-ups in a single
"environment).

As for multiple DBCS set ups; I suggest you refer to your JDE
Salesperson AND your hardware representative.
