Supporting Multi-Attribute Products from Components to Finished GoodsTo help manufacturing and distribution organizations manage multi-attribute products, Oracle announced Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management. A new module within Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 portfolio of integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management optimizes the management of products that consist of a variety of different attributes including styles, colors and sizes.

By accommodating the management of multi-attribute items, dynamic order priority allocations and seasonal collection lifecycles, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management supports the development of multi-attribute products from components to finished goods.

Built on the flexible, standards-based JD Edwards EnterpriseOne technology platform, the new module can also be used in other industries that manufacture and sell multi-attribute items such as food and beverage, consumer electronics or pulp and paper. To further strengthen the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications suite, Oracle has also enhanced JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools by introducing new end user productivity features, system administration tools, reporting capabilities and additional platform certifications.

The new JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools 8.98.4 is compatible with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.11, 8.12 and 9.0.
