JD Edwards E1
Connect your customers' JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers so your product can invoke AIS forms and orchestrations for reads and writes. The customer provides their AIS host, username, password, and optionally an environment and role; Askel composes the Basic auth header and the JDE-AIS auth headers per request.
What you can do
Invoke AIS orchestrations for reads and writes
Call any published orchestration on the customer's AIS server with a JSON request body. Orchestrations can read business data, update records, or trigger JDE business functions. All data flows through Askel without touching your servers.
Read purchase orders via AIS form interop
Invoke the Purchase Order Inquiry (P4310) form through AIS to read open purchase orders with header and line detail, supplier reference, and receipt status.
Read sales orders from the Sales Order Header and Detail
Use AIS to read Sales Order Header (F4201) and Detail (F4211) records for order-visibility and customer-service workflows in your product.
Fetch address book records
Read Address Book (F0101) entries for customers, suppliers, and employees. Used to resolve JDE address numbers without a separate data extract.
Read inventory item master and quantity on hand
Fetch Item Master (F4101) records and Item Location (F41021) quantities per branch/plant. Lets your product resolve item numbers and stock levels directly.
Write transactions through AIS orchestrations
Create sales orders, receipts, or inventory adjustments by calling a write-enabled orchestration published on the customer's AIS server. The orchestration handles JDE business rule validation.
Pulling open purchase orders into a procurement-visibility dashboard
You sell a procurement-analytics platform. A new customer, Fairfield Industrial Supply, runs JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for ERP. Their purchasing team needs a real-time view of open POs, expected delivery dates, and receipt status in your dashboard without exporting from E1 manually each morning.
- 1
Customer provides AIS credentials
Fairfield's IT admin provides your product's connection wizard with their AIS server host URL (ais.fairfield-ind.com), the JDE username, password, environment (PRODDTA), and role (*ALL). Askel validates the credentials with a test AIS token request.
- 2
Orchestration identified
Fairfield's JDE developer confirms the name of the PO inquiry orchestration published on their AIS server. Your product stores the orchestration name against the customer connection for subsequent calls.
- 3
Daily PO fetch
Your platform calls Askel each morning to invoke the PO inquiry orchestration on Fairfield's AIS server. Askel composes the Basic auth header and the JDE-AIS-Auth-Environment and JDE-AIS-Auth-Role headers, then POSTs the orchestration request.
- 4
Results parsed and loaded
The AIS server returns a JSON payload with open PO headers and lines. Your platform parses the response, maps the field names to your schema, and loads the data into the procurement dashboard.
- 5
Dashboard live every morning
Fairfield's purchasing team opens your dashboard and sees a live view of open POs, with amounts in USD, expected delivery dates, and receipt status. No one exports from JDE or sends a spreadsheet.
Basic auth
The customer provides their AIS host URL, JDE username, password, and optionally the JDE environment (such as PRODDTA) and role (such as *ALL). Askel base64-encodes the username and password for the Authorization: Basic header and adds JDE-AIS-Auth-Environment and JDE-AIS-Auth-Role headers where provided, on every request to the AIS server. Credentials are stored encrypted per connection and never forwarded to your servers.
