A supplier portal for JD Edwards — without custom JDE development.
JDE EnterpriseOne was built pre-modern-web. Native vendor self-service doesn't exist, and building one means a custom JDE development project using the UX kit, which takes months. Sourced is the ready-to-go alternative: a white-label supplier portal that syncs with JDE via AIS REST — deployed in 2-4 weeks.

The problem
JDE EnterpriseOne has no native supplier portal. Giving suppliers any form of self-service traditionally meant one of: a JDE development project using UX One and the JDE UX Kit (months of work, dedicated JDE developers, ongoing Tools Release compatibility maintenance), provisioning suppliers as JDE users (complex license model, exposing internal UI, training overhead), or staying with email-based coordination (unscalable). None of these are good options for mid-market or even enterprise JDE shops.
The solution
Sourced provides a ready-to-deploy white-label supplier portal that connects to JDE via AIS REST and Orchestrator. Suppliers use your-brand.suppliers.yourcompany.com — they never touch JDE. Self-onboarding, invoice upload with OCR, RFQ/RFP responses, ASN submissions, and PO status all sync bi-directionally to JDE. No JDE development required. No JDE user licenses for vendors.
Vendors use a white-label portal, never touch JDE — no JDE user licenses needed

How the portal works with JDE.
Supplier invited
Your team invites a supplier from Sourced. The supplier lands on your white-label portal and creates credentials — no JDE account required.
Self-onboarding
Company details, tax information, banking, certifications, and compliance documents are collected through guided forms. Completed profiles create or update the supplier record in JDE Address Book (P0101) via AIS REST.
RFQ and RFP participation
Active sourcing events show in the portal. Suppliers respond with structured quotes, attach technical documents, and submit pricing — fed into Sourced's comparison engine.
Invoice submission with OCR
Suppliers upload invoices. Sourced runs OCR, matches against the JDE purchase order (P4310) and receipt (P43121), and creates the voucher/invoice in JDE via AIS when matching clears.
ASN and receipt confirmation
Suppliers send advance shipment notices from the portal. Warehouse receipt confirmation in Sourced creates the corresponding P43121 receipt in JDE automatically.

Why JDE shops pick Sourced over a custom build.
No JDE development, no Tools Release risk
Custom JDE portal builds require dedicated JDE developers and break on Tools Release upgrades. Sourced lives outside JDE, uses AIS REST, and your JDE upgrades don't affect the portal.
White-label — your brand, not JDE's
Custom domain, logo, and color palette. Suppliers experience a first-party vendor hub from your company. Zero visual connection to JDE's legacy UI.
Vendor fees: zero
Unlike Oracle Supplier Portal (requires Oracle licensing) or SAP Business Network (tiered supplier fees), the Sourced portal costs suppliers nothing. All costs sit with the buying organization.
RFQ, RFP, messaging, and invoicing in one place
Suppliers respond to sourcing events, exchange messages per PO/RFQ, upload invoices, and track payment status in a unified vendor workspace.
AIS REST and Orchestrator integration
Sourced uses JDE's standard Application Interface Services and Orchestrator framework — modern, documented, supported. No custom Business Services, no direct database access, no JDE Partner engagement.
Works with multi-environment JDE setups
Multi-company, multi-environment JDE deployments are supported. Supplier data and invoice flows respect JDE's company and business unit scoping.
Frequently asked questions.
Why not build a custom JDE portal with UX One?
You can. UX One and the JDE UX Kit support custom web portal development. The tradeoff: 3-6 months of JDE development work, ongoing Tools Release compatibility maintenance, and your team maintains the code forever. Sourced delivers the same outcome (branded supplier portal synced with JDE) as a ready-to-go SaaS — 2-4 weeks to deploy, zero maintenance on your side, continuous product improvements.
What JDE Tools Release is required?
Tools Release 9.2.x or later where AIS REST and Orchestrator are native. For customers on older Tools Releases, an upgrade is recommended before deploying Sourced — a separate short project.
Do suppliers need JDE accounts?
No. The Sourced portal is entirely outside JDE. Suppliers create credentials on your Sourced portal — never touch JDE, never consume a JDE user license.
What JDE applications does Sourced write to?
Via AIS REST: P0101 (Address Book / Supplier Master), P4310 (Purchase Order Entry), P43121 (Receipts), F0411 (AP Voucher / Invoice entry). All access is scoped through a Sourced AIS service user.
How does invoice matching against JDE work?
Supplier uploads an invoice in Sourced; OCR extracts line items; Sourced queries JDE via AIS for the matching P4310 PO and P43121 receipt; compares line-by-line; flags discrepancies for AP review. Clean matches create the voucher in JDE. Mismatches stay in Sourced's exceptions queue.
Multi-company JDE setups?
Yes. Each JDE company connects separately. A single Sourced portal can front multiple companies with per-company scoping per supplier.
Does this work alongside our existing JDE customizations?
Yes. Sourced operates externally via AIS — no JDE object changes, no new tables, no ER modifications. Your customizations, UDCs, and Business Functions continue exactly as configured.
Implementation timeline?
Two to four weeks including AIS REST setup in sandbox and production, portal branding configuration, onboarding workflow definition, and initial supplier invites.
