How to Avoid Downloading Data from JDE into Excel for Reporting
In the JDE community, it’s not uncommon for users to download data from their ERP or other systems to bring together different data sets and perform offline processes. For example, they may export multiple grids or screens, blend the data back together, and use VLOOKUP or SUM functions to get to the level of detail they need. Most users are accustomed to doing this as a workaround for not having all the reporting functionality they really want in JDE.
It’s frustrating not to be able to access data in the desired format. Downloads and query tools can get you SOME of what you need, but they don’t take you all the way. Additional requests around reporting tend to pile up, and more and more time is spent manually producing reports. That time could be spent on valuable analysis instead.
