In JDE, depending on the complexity of customer processes, the complete data creation procedure may involve validating several disjointed transactions that the standard does not allow to be linked automatically => risk of forgetting by the user.
Furthermore, in some cases, some of this data is required by JDE functions/modules but does not require a decision on its content: it must “just” exist => no operational added value for the user.
The Orchestrator, combined with the UDO Screen Extension, makes it possible to overcome these 2 drawbacks: in the above case, it is possible to invoke an orchestration feeding the necessary related data from a screen event without development.
Example: the module 39 of advanced stock valuation requires that each item on a company refers to a record in the constants of this module.
Upon validation of the item/store record of a given item, an orchestration is invoked which will automatically create the corresponding record without any additional action by the user.
