The eInvoicing Outbound Workbench provides JD Edwards users with a central facility for monitoring the processing status of each electronic invoice throughout its lifecycle. All files generated during processing are captured and stored with the corresponding invoice, including the source XML, the PDF representation, the electronic invoice, the portal response and any associated email correspondence. This provides a complete and traceable record of every invoice issued.

The workbench is available as a standalone application and can also be presented as a CafeOne component within the Sales Order Entry, Service Order Management and Accounts Receivable applications. As a result, users can view the eInvoicing status and related documents directly in the context of their daily work, without having to navigate to a separate application.

If transmission fails due to communication issues, the workbench offers functionality to resend the electronic invoice. This ensures that delivery can be completed without having to regenerate the invoice.
