Using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management System

Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne’s Transportation Management Module makes it easier to  track and improve the distribution process between suppliers and customers. In this blog post, I explain its useful capabilities.

The Oracle JD Edwards (JDE) EnterpriseOne (E1) Transportation Management module tracks and manages to movement of materials and components from suppliers to customers. As a crucial part of the Supply Chain Management set of modules, its features and capabilities can help streamline your operations for faster and easier distribution.

With the Transportation Management module, users can:

  • create shipments by selecting appropriate freight services

  • calculate and track shipping route and rates for different transportation modes

  • calculate freight charges by freight classification level

  • consolidate shipments by customer, geographical area

  • plan warehouse operations around shipping schedules

  • manage shipping documents

  • evaluate the carrier performance

  • maintain related information, such as vehicle licenses and records, invoices, and billing

    • Shipment consolidation and load building
    • Freight audit capabilities

  • Improve transportation information visibility

    • Transportation cost visibility and allocation

Additionally, when using any of the transportation types (inbound or outbound), users receive continuous feedback to help them improve their shipping process, cycle time, inventory, and customer satisfaction.

In my opinion, the Transportation Management module is a good solution for businesses that depend on the transport of materials or finished goods to manage their fleet, but do not consider shipping to be their core source of revenue. While the module does require some information upon setup – such as workday calendars, transportation constants and tracking numbers – such requirements usually are not very complex.

Any business can benefit from the Transportation Management module’s easy integration with the rest of EnterpriseOne, and its out-of-the-box usability that guides users through a simple setup process that activates functionality.
