#1 - Stock Reconciliation and Integrity by Ian Simmons, Xayce PLC
(2406 downloads)
What can you say about a perfect white paper? Other than we're sorry (you didn’t have it when you first implemented JDE)? Ian has produced an incredibly detailed 27 page paper which deals with one of the main problems in any automated system – integrity between the Item Ledger and the Inventory Account in the General Ledger. I used to dread those phone calls—"Andy, how come these two systems don't reconcile?" Ian discusses integrity checks the system way, followed by a technical section that goes through techniques for performing reconciliations outside of the system, and/or defining new reports you may want.
