Why this matters:
It reduces dependency on technical teams, improves visibility of end-to-end processes, and helps businesses identify bottlenecks—all essential for automation-first transformation.
2. Enhanced Widgets, Notifications & UX Improvements
Release 26 focuses heavily on user experience enhancements, including:
Advanced Input Widgets
Widgets can now accept parameters like business unit, date range, or customer number—allowing users to get filtered outputs without creating multiple widget versions.
Notification Badges on E1 Page Tiles
Tiles now visually display pending approvals, workflow tasks, alerts, and exceptions in real time.
Why this matters:
A modern ERP must reduce clicks, improve clarity, and guide users toward actions. These UX updates increase user productivity and simplify decision-making across functions.
3. Security, Platform & Cloud-Ready Enhancements
Security and platform modernization remain a core focus of Release 26. Key updates include:
Case-Insensitive Search & Collation for Oracle Database
Which delivers smoother search and helps global organizations maintain consistent data management.
Support for Longer Media Object URLs
A critical enhancement for organizations leveraging object storage, cloud repositories, or integrations with external digital asset systems.
Updated Certifications & Support for Oracle Database 23ai
Ensuring JDE remains secure, optimized, and compatible with the latest Oracle database advancements.
Why this matters:
These improvements strengthen cloud interoperability, future-proof integrations, and reduce security risks—especially for large enterprises with hybrid architectures.
4. Industry & Localization Updates
Release 26 also improves capabilities for global operations and compliance, including:
Foreign Currency Tolerance Enhancements for Voucher Match
More accuracy for multi-currency finance teams.
Brazil Localization Updates
Including support for the latest tax compliance changes.
Why this matters:
Organizations operating in highly regulated or multi-currency environments gain more control, reduced risk, and fewer manual corrections.
