JD Edwards Data Validation — F0902-Anchored, Audit-Ready

JD edwards data validation is the post-load reconciliation discipline that proves every JDE record arrived in Fusion intact and balanced — row count, sum total, balance parity, audit chain. The reconciliation anchor for GL is F0902 Account Balances: every Company × Account × Period balance in the JDE source must match the corresponding Fusion GL balance to the cent before sign-off. For sub-ledgers the anchors are the JDE balance reports themselves: AP open-item aging from F0411, AR aging from F03B11, fixed-asset NBV from F1202, item ledger from F4111. Without rigorous jd edwards data validation, the load completes and nobody knows whether the trial balance ties — which is when the controller refuses to sign the parallel-run pack and the cutover slips a month.

The validation engine queries F0902 in JDE for the period-end balance at Company × Object × Subsidiary × Period level (matching the JDE balance grain), then queries Fusion GL for the equivalent Legal Entity × Account-segment × Period balance at the post-crosswalk grain. The two balance sets are joined through the BU+Object+Subsidiary → 6-segment COA crosswalk, summed where the JDE grain is finer than the Fusion grain (e.g. multiple JDE BUs collapsing into a single Fusion cost-center segment), and compared to the cent. Any variance > 0.00 is surfaced with the contributing F0911 row range and the corresponding Fusion GL_BALANCES row so the root-cause investigation is single-query. The output is a signed timestamped trial-balance reconciliation pack ready for controllership and audit sign-off.

AP validation runs three checks. First, the open-item aging total: sum of open F0411 vouchers (RPDOC unique with RPPYE >= 0 net of related F0413/F0414 payment offsets) compared to Fusion AP Payables Open Items at the post-crosswalk supplier and Legal Entity grain. Second, the period-by-period voucher activity: count and sum of F0411 vouchers posted in each fiscal period compared to Fusion AP Invoice creation in the equivalent period. Third, the payment activity: sum of F0413/F0414 payment header/detail compared to Fusion AP Payment activity. All three must reconcile to the cent in transaction currency and in ledger currency (where multi-currency is in scope). Variances surface with the contributing F0411 voucher RPDOC and the Fusion AP_INVOICES_ALL row so the discrepancy is investigable in one query.

The F4111 Item Ledger reconciliation anchors on the item-balance position at period-end: sum of F4111 transactions (ILTRQT * ILDCT-direction-sign) per Item × Branch/Plant × Period closed compared to Fusion Inventory Item Quantity at the equivalent item × inventory-org × period. For value reconciliation, sum of F4111 transactions valued at the appropriate F4105 item-cost layer (frozen, current, last per the JDE cost method) compared to Fusion Inventory Value at the equivalent item × inventory-org × period. The reconciliation engine respects JDE's item-cost-method differences across branches: an item costed frozen in Branch A and current in Branch B is reconciled per-branch using the applicable cost layer, not collapsed to a single method. Manufacturing customers also see the work-order genealogy reconciliation: a finished good in F4111 traces back through F4801 → F3111 → F3112 → F31122 and the same chain is reconciled in Fusion.

The audit pack is a signed, timestamped, immutable bundle ready for SOX 404, German HGB, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and FAA evidence preservation. It includes: trial-balance reconciliation (F0902 vs Fusion GL) at Company × Account × Period; sub-ledger reconciliation (F0411 vs Fusion AP, F03B11 vs Fusion AR, F1202 vs Fusion FA, F4111 vs Fusion Inventory); row-count reconciliation per F-series table extracted; hash signatures (SHA-256) on every extract Parquet file and every FBDI ZIP submitted; Fusion ESS job IDs with success/failure status per load; variance register (any non-zero discrepancy with root-cause analysis and resolution status); crosswalk artifact (the exact BU+Object+Subsidiary → 6-segment COA mapping in effect at load time); and retention-overlay coverage map (which records carry which regime). The pack is generated automatically per load wave, not assembled manually at sign-off.

Multi-currency JDE estates run F0911 in transaction currency (CRCD) and converted to ledger currency at posting via F0911.AA (transaction-currency amount) and F0911.ACR (ledger-currency converted amount). The reconciliation engine validates both: F0902 ledger-currency balance vs Fusion GL ledger-currency balance to the cent, and the transaction-currency activity per source-currency × period for any post-conversion drift detection. For multi-reporting-currency Fusion setups (Primary, Secondary, Reporting Currency in Fusion), the JDE F0902 balance reconciles against the matching Fusion ledger-currency representation. Currency conversion-rate alignment is a sign-off item per period: the F0015 (Currency Exchange Rate) effective rate per period is captured and validated against the Fusion Daily Rates loaded for the same period range.

Yes — and you should. The validation engine runs after every delta replay during parallel run, producing an incremental reconciliation pack that confirms JDE deltas captured via F0911.GLUPMJ, F0411.RPUPMJ, F03B11.RPUPMJ and F4111.ILUPMJ replayed into Fusion cleanly. Period-end month-end runs the full reconciliation (F0902 trial balance, sub-ledger agings, item-ledger balance) so the controller and auditor see a clean F0902-anchored sign-off pack at the end of each parallel-run month before the next month begins. By the time final cutover arrives, the reconciliation evidence is two or three months deep, the variance register has been worked to zero, and the cutover decision is procedural — not a leap of faith.

Variances are first-class output — captured, classified and routed to a re-runnable bulk-fix queue, not buried in an Excel tracker. Each variance carries: the reconciliation anchor that surfaced it (F0902 balance, F0411 voucher aging, F4111 item balance), the JDE source rows contributing, the Fusion target rows present (or absent), a classification (crosswalk gap, OMW custom logic missed, period-cut timing, currency-rate drift, retention-policy routing error), and a recommended action (re-extract, re-transform, re-load, sign-off as approved variance). The bulk-fix queue lets you re-run a specific slice (one Company × one Period × one Account range) without rebuilding the full extract — critical when the variance is found at month-end and you have hours, not days, to resolve.
