New application features in JD Edwards Release 25
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 25 introduces several practical updates that make a big difference in the way teams work with the system. These enhancements are focused, intentional and designed to support the daily processes of JD Edwards users across a variety of industries. From procurement and maintenance to property management and local compliance, this release delivers new functionality that helps organizations improve transparency, traceability and overall process control. Let's look at what's new on the application side.
Procurement: better visibility into the process from requisition to order
The procurement process begins with requisitions and ends with purchase orders, but in many systems these steps are treated as separate. JD Edwards now connects them within a single process model. With this enhancement, users can click directly from requisitions to the corresponding purchase orders. This makes it easier to track the entire requisition lifecycle and identify where delays occur or attention is needed.
Advantages:
- Linked display of requisitions and purchase orders
- Faster identification of delays or inefficiencies
- Better management of the entire procure-to-pay process
Capital Asset Management: full audit trail for work orders
Work orders often change several times before they are completed. Tasks, resources, dates and other details are frequently changed along the way. With Release 25, JD Edwards introduces a Work Order Master Ledger that tracks every change in maintenance and service work orders.
This feature helps meet compliance requirements and creates a reliable historical record of all changes. Organizations gain greater transparency and control over their asset maintenance processes.
Advantages:
- Complete recording of all work order changes
- Easier compliance with audit requirements
- Consistent and reliable maintenance records
Real Estate Management: improved tracking of rent calculations
This feature allows users to keep a complete history of all straight-line interest batches for leases. Only the latest calculation is used for current financial entries. This supports accurate tracking of rent calculations and lease changes over time.
Advantages:
- Full visibility into previous rent calculations
- Better support for audits and internal reviews
- Accurate financial entries based on current values
Localizations: support for the new dual VAT model in Brazil
Brazil is introducing a major tax reform by replacing five separate taxes (PIS, COFINS, IPI, ICMS and ISS) with two simplified levies: CBS (federal) and IBS (state/regional). These changes will be implemented between 2026 and 2033. JD Edwards now includes the structure to support this dual VAT regime so that organizations can prepare for the transition.
Advantages:
- Built-in support for CBS and IBS
- Easier tax settings and reporting
- Future-proof compliance with Brazilian regulations
