#1

New Data Source Canvas

Design/Filter Process Design

The new data source canvas in

EASYProcess version 4.7 now

includes a familiar, intuitive design.

Data sources open within a web-

part-like canvas, which keeps the

filters viewable at all times and the

data source open as well. Filters are

now placed within sections of the

data source canvas using AND and

OR blocks to group the filters, along

with AND and OR logic separators

to combine filters together. Along

with the new data source canvas,

EASYProcess version 4.7 now has

the option to use a single process as

a filter process. The new filter

process allows developers to use

any node of the filter process as a

source for any data source filter.

#4

3-Tier Architecture

EASYProcess version 4.7 utilizes

genuine 3-tier architecture to allow for

the development of sophisticated, pre-

built and custom applications. This

type of architecture offers improved

performance of existing applications

and lightweight HTML controls.

New Process Data Source

EASYProcess version 4.7 and its

new process data source will now

drop from the toolbox and into a

WebPart. When designing within a

new tab, the process data source

will open within a process canvas

and any output node of the service

can become a data source for the

field or list as it is no longer

necessary to include an output

service.

#5

A Sneak Peek At

The New

Features Of

EASYProcess 4.7

Tabbed Display

Designed with developers in mind,

the tabbed display feature offers

additional ease-of-use functionality

to the intuitive interface found

within EASYProcess. Tabbed

interfaces within EASYProcess

version 4.7 are now faster than ever.

Changing between tabs no longer

causes a page to refresh, enabling

smooth transitions for the user when

navigating. Further, tabbed sections

now have additional built-in

controls, such as default tab upon

page load, as well as the ability to

hide or unhide tabs.

#3

Along with these enhancements include

mobile application development,

allowing for EASYProcess applications

to be accessible anywhere, anytime.

K-Rise Systems will be showcasing its

mobile application development at

COLLABORATE15. If you would like

additional information regarding

EASYProcess apps prior to this

conference, please contact us at

[email protected] .

Application Logs

Application logs have been

completely redesigned to allow for

easier debugging. The new

Application Log screen allows a

developer to navigate to a central

location to view logs regarding all

aspects of the application, including

web part logs, process logs, workflow

logs, value transformation logs, as

well as EASYProcess client logs.

Developers can easily find a specific

log and then view all relating logs

with a few simple clicks. Log levels

are now instantly modified upon

adjusting the setting, and there is no

longer the need to restart the website

or reboot for the change to take effect.

Full-Service eCommerce:

Adding Value To The Online

Purchasing Experience K-Rise Systems’ EASYCommerce is the value-added ecommerce solution that promotes the development of

your organization and brand within the global business environment. Featuring both B2B and B2C

capabilities, EASYCommerce allows you to interact and engage with your customers and suppliers –

anywhere, anytime.

“EASYCommerce enabled us to

produce a web ordering system that

operated on the same business logic

as our E1 System while allowing us

the flexibility to tailor it to the specific

user interface needs of our

customers,” says Larry Estes,

Information Technology at Crown

Packaging Corporation.

Crown Packaging Corporation

implemented both standard and

custom features of K-Rise Systems’

EASYCommerce, integrated fully and

in real time with JD Edwards

EnterpriseOne, according to its

specific business rules and needs. The

implementation allowed for seamless

interaction with current systems,

without disruption to the user

experience.

The ecommerce application includes

extensive administrative capabilities,

allowing for complete management of

one or multiple online storefronts.

Among these capabilities include

customer account management via an

intuitive administrative dashboard.

The administrative dashboard includes

import capabilities of customer

information from JD Edwards or any

ERP and data source, streamlining

customer account setup and

maintenance.

Other administrative features included

with EASYCommerce are site

management and configuration

settings. Settings can be configured to

suit site administrators and certain

authority levels; restrictive settings

can be implemented to limit visibility

of specific screens based on

predetermined criteria as well.

Further, users with proper authority

can schedule downtime maintenance

and draft messages to external users

attempting to visit the ecommerce site.

Along with site management and

maintenance, administration also has

the ability to manage customer orders

from a central location, directly within

the application. Orders can be

reviewed that contain one or multiple

errors, resolved using the correct

information, and then resubmitted for

processing. Orders that have been

resolved or updated within

EASYCommerce automatically

update JD Edwards or any ERP or

data source. EASYCommerce

submits data in real time to all

integrated data sources, keeping

administrators current on the latest

developments within the ecommerce

site.

Page 7: rise winter 2014

rise 7

EASYCommerce includes quote

creation capabilities in addition to

traditional ordering (via credit card,

ACH, and PayPal, for example).

Quotes and estimates for

services, maintenance, and

premium products are

generated within the

ecommerce application to

be saved for completion at

a later time or submitted

immediately. Filtering

capabilities allow for

quotes to be searched for

and copied when similar

orders require estimates.

The ecommerce application

offers a variety of

functionality to both

administrative and

marketing users alike,

offering comprehensive

internal features necessary

to develop a value-added,

online shopping experience

for customers. Marketing

has the ability to add new

products and product

categories to the web store

and manage associating

content, including pricing,

directly from the

application. Product

numbers can be created or

imported from JD Edwards

or any data source, and any

updates made are sent, real-

time, to each data source

integrated with the

ecommerce site.

Schematic ordering for

both new and existing

products is available for

implementation to be

managed internally as well.

This type of ordering

eliminates the need for

customers to search for

individual components and

parts of larger products when

repurchasing. Marketing can delegate

products that benefit from schematic

ordering and oversee the

implementation of this service,

incorporating a variety of features,

such as clickable hot spots within

images and specification sheets.

Marketing can also associate

promotions and special

offers associated with any

of the products offered

within the

EASYCommerce

ecommerce site. Incentives

can be utilized to appeal to

specific consumer groups

and buying behaviors, such

as offering specific

promotions to qualified

target markets and

purchasing groups. New

promotions can be created

easily and older promotions

can be searched for and

reinstated as necessary.

Email campaigns

associated with promotions

can be managed within the

application as well.

EASYCommerce is

capable of integrating with

Google Analytics to track

campaigns and campaign

history, as well as a variety

of key performance

indicators associated with

the ecommerce site.

Along with promotion

management and

execution,

EASYCommerce includes

comprehensive content

management capabilities,

allowing marketing full

control of messaging

throughout the ecommerce

site. Messaging can also be

translated, appropriately,

for international visitors via

the language center of

EASYCommerce.

Content management

capabilities within

EASYCommerce include managing

Page 8: rise winter 2014

rise 8

home page content and sliders to

appeal to differing purchasing

behaviors amongst each target market.

Home page sliders include HTML

editing capabilities allowing internal

users to update and add new content

easily and quickly. These home page

sliders can be adjusted for special

promotions or featured products to

increase traffic and conversion rates.

In an effort to increase varying KPIs,

such as site traffic and conversion

rates, EASYCommerce features SEO

functionality designed to improve the

visibility of ecommerce products

across each search engine. Within

EASYCommerce, internal users can

associate relevant keywords or tags

with each product and monitor the

performance of a product’s visibility

via the SEO management dashboard.

Other SEO management tools

included with EASYCommerce allow

internal users to create and edit

friendly URLs for customers to share

across social networks, without having

to use lengthy web addresses.

Marketing has the ability to integrate

one or multiple ecommerce sites with

each social media platform that is

currently being utilized. Marketing

can also add an unlimited number of

social media links and feeds to deliver

real-time updates from social accounts

directly within the online web store.

Multiple networking sites are easily

managed through the social media

settings within EASYCommerce and

can help to improve storefront

visibility online as well as assist with

SEO efforts. Leveraging social media

through EASYCommerce can help to

spread the word about products and

generate ecommerce sales as a result.

EASYCommerce integrates with

Google Analytics to allow for

additional tracking of each KPI that is

measured against the ecommerce site.

EASYCommerce also features

reporting capabilities directly within

the application. Marketing can track

promotional campaigns and generate

reports to analyze usage of a particular

coupon or discount. EASYCommerce

includes built-in tracking functionality

to monitor each promotion and the

number of times customers apply

promo codes to their purchases.

Along with these capabilities include

order report generation to track

purchasing conducted through the web

store. This information is delivered in

real time to allow internal users to

analyze recent orders processed

through the site. Data from both sales

by item and varying ecommerce

accounts can be generated into

graphical reports to be distributed

amongst teams internally as well.

EASYCommerce is an enterprise-class

B2B/B2C application fully compatible

with World, EnterpriseOne, and

iSeries. Implemented as a connector,

EASYCommerce works seamlessly

with your current online catalog or

web store, giving you live data inside

and outside of JD Edwards or any

data source. For more information on

this application and other products

Electronic Payment Processing

Within The Global Business Arena From accounts receivable functionality to self-service capabilities for customers, K-Rise Systems’ trusted, full-

featured payment solution, EASYPayment, provides secure, electronic transactions to take place within both

B2B and B2C environments.

As ecommerce becomes a primary

source of business for companies

within every industry, securing credit

card information and other

transactional data is more critical than

ever. K-Rise Systems’ EASYPayment,

built with its proprietary development

platform, EASYProcess, ensures that

each of the payments processed

through the application is secure and

in real time. EASYPayment does not

retain any sensitive data within the

application and assists internal,

accounts receivable users in

processing and managing electronic

payments.

EASYPayment offers comprehensive

accounts receivable functionality

when managing a variety of payment

types, including payments made in

full. Within the payment application,

users can review outstanding invoices

for real-time payment processing, or

easily apply different payment types to

both single and multiple invoices.

Payments can also be processed from

a saved payment profile, containing

non-sensitive customer data, or by

using a one-time-only payment.

Extensive search capabilities allow for

lookups to be performed using a

variety of criteria, including customer

account number, date range, or invoice

number, for example. Search fields

can be customized from the standard

EASYPayment implementation, along

with other accounts receivable

features as well, to suit the needs of

users exactly. Once a search is

performed, EASYPayment retrieves

open invoices which match the search

criteria, and accounts receivable users

can begin to apply payments

accordingly.

Along with processing payments in

full, EASYPayment also allows for

partial payments to be applied as well.

Partial payments can be applied to an

entire invoice or specific line items,

depending on the customer’s request.

Flexible payment arrangements can

also extend to payment type, such as

when processing two different credit

cards to a single invoice, or two credit

cards and an eCheck.

Scheduled payments can be

established to allow automatic bill

payment functionality to each and

every customer. Accounts receivable

users can determine the payment

frequency, such as weekly or

bimonthly, for example, as a way of

accommodating individual customer

preferences. Additionally,

EASYPayment will process as many

scheduled payments as deemed

appropriate by customers. All

scheduled payments can be automated

across one or may invoices, and each

payment plan is fully manageable

from the administrative dashboard.

Accounts receivable users can also

manage sales orders within

EASYPayment through an intuitive

dashboard. Users can also perform

searches against any criteria, manage

refunds and receipts for any

transaction, and capture payment for

one or many sales orders. The intuitive

nature of EASYPayment and its sales

order dashboard allows accounts

receivable to locate sales orders easily,

process payment for customers in

seconds, and automatically send real-

time updates to any ERP.

Once a transaction has been

processed, EASYPayment sends an

automatically-generated receipt via

email that matches organizational

branding and design. Both receipts

and invoices generated by the

application are formatted in this

Page 13: rise winter 2014

rise 13

manner to allow for complete and

seamless integration with current

systems.

To reduce tedious, manual data entry

as well as to ensure that customer

information is protected, accounts

receivable users can create payment

profiles to associate with any customer

account number that is generated

through an ERP or other data source.

Payment types receive alias names

(i.e. Visa, eCheck, PayPal, etc.), and

an unlimited number of payment

profiles can be created for any

customer account.

Payment profiles need only to be

established once using

EASYPayment. Critical credit card or

ACH data is not stored within your

system; all transactions are made

using tokens. Credit cards are verified

using real-time web services with as

much authentication as necessary, and

credit card and checking account

billing addresses can be populated

from any data source or ERP in real

time.

Historical data from all transactions,

including those processed using

payment profiles, is able to be viewed

and reported on within

EASYPayment. While sensitive

customer information is not stored

anywhere within the application,

comprehensive transaction data is

available. Customer ID and order

numbers, as well as transaction type

and authorization date, are viewable

within EASYPayment; a variety of

other data is available to users as well,

and these data sets can be customized.

Lookups can also be performed on a

variety of transactional data as well,

with the exception of sensitive

customer account information. The

receipts and history dashboard also

allows for action to be taken on any

open invoice or order, and also allows

users to generate and distribute

confirmation of processed payments.

While accounts receivable can

perform a variety of payment

processing responsibilities, customers

can also perform the same tasks.

EASYPayment is also available as a

customer self-service application

which can allow external users to

process full or partial payments,

schedule automatic bill processing,

manage and create payment profiles,

and a variety of other online functions.

Additionally, customers can also

generate receipts in real time to store

and review.

EASYPayment is a secure payment

processing application which

guarantees safe and trusted

transactions in both B2B and B2C

environments, and features full

integration with all credible payment

gateways, including PayPal,

Authorize.Net, and Chase

Paymentech. Further, EASYPayment

does not store sensitive data anywhere

within the application and provides a

secure platform for managing

payments and transactions processed

online.

EASYPayment is a trusted payment

solution integrating with JD Edwards

or any data source. Complete with

128-bit encryption, EASYPayment

ensures safe and secure processing of

every transaction. Visit

What’s In Your Shopping Cart? Gather ideas for your own ecommerce site as you deep dive into the single EASYProcess implementation that

manages multiple online storefronts, easily.

Managing full-service online storefronts which feature real-

time integration with JD Edwards and a variety of payment

gateways were crucial elements of this ecommerce solution.

Along with the ability to support three separate web stores

with real-time JD Edwards integration, a payment solution

with the same type of integration was needed as well.

Connectivity to this ERP was a crucial component as this

would be the largest data source interacting with these

ecommerce sites.

K-Rise Systems developed a tailored solution for this

ecommerce implementation which initially consisted of a

single online storefront but also offered the flexibility to build

additional ecommerce sites as necessary.

EASYCommerce, K-Rise Systems’ ecommerce solution for

JD Edwards, was implemented exactly to specification.

EASYCommerce is built using the EASYProcess

Development Platform, allowing for the flexibility to

implement additional ecommerce sites and take advantage of

extensive JD Edwards integration capabilities.

EASYCommerce offers import and synchronization

capabilities within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, the integrated

data source for this ecommerce implementation. As K-Rise

Systems’ EASYCommerce is built using EASYProcess, any

sites implemented in the future will not be disrupted base on a

change in ERP or ERP version, allowing for upgrades to occur

at any time.

Figure 1: JD Edwards import and synchronization capabilities within EASYCommerce.

These integration features, found within all EASYProcess

applications, offer an ideal ecommerce solution for any full-

service, online storefront implementation. EASYCommerce is

B2B/B2C ecommerce software that offers complete

modification to the standard version offered by K-Rise

Systems.

Figure 2: Screenshot depicting tailored item catalogs with real-time JD Edwards integration.

This implementation of K-Rise Systems’ EASYCommerce,

built using EASYProcess, included import and

synchronization features necessary for this tailored

ecommerce solution. Many of the transactions taking place

within these web stores required interaction with JD Edwards

EnterpriseOne, such as the ability to use JD Edwards business

function calls to create sales orders directly within the ERP

upon successful payment authorization. Once completed,

these sales orders are automatically sent to JD Edwards, where

they are stored.

Along with using JD Edwards business function calls to create

sales orders, the ability to use API to retrieve data from JD

Edwards and insert this information into an external database,

such as MSSQL or MYSQL, was another integral component

of this ecommerce solution, which also applied to the pricing

of online products as well.

Page 17: rise winter 2014

rise 17

Figure 3: Example sales invoice created using JD Edwards business function calls.

Another requirement needed from this solution was the ability

to create processes that manage inventory levels as items are

purchased from any of the three ecommerce sites. As

EASYCommerce is built using EASYProcess, custom

processes were created to align with inventory management

needs. Built-in processes synchronize inventory levels into an

EASYProcess database every day, and a separate process was

created to include a real-time feed during checkout, ensuring

that customers were purchasing items that were in stock, as

well as to alert them of backordered items that would require

additional shipping time.

These processes assist in real-time purchasing and led to a

well-developed payment application to complement this

ecommerce solution. EASYPayment, K-Rise Systems’

payment solution for JD Edwards, offered the functionality

necessary to process transactions for multiple online

storefronts without impacting performance speeds of any of

the ecommerce sites. Seamlessly integrating with any

payment gateway, including Authorize.Net and PayPal,

EASYPayment offers extensive flexibility in choosing any

gateway to integrate with additional ecommerce sites. Both

Authorize.Net and PayPal were selected as the primary

payment gateways for this implementation, with the ability to

include other trusted gateways, such as Google Checkout and

Checkout by Amazon, as necessary.

Figure 4: EASYPayment integration with EASYCommerce, which includes the ability to establish payment profiles for future use.

EASYPayment also offers integration with any sales tax

compliance software. Avalara was chosen for this ecommerce

implementation for both storefronts. Avalara is cloud-based

sales tax software which automates the entire sales tax

process. The sales tax on any product offered through these

online storefronts is calculated based upon the shipping

address. State sales tax is managed within the Avalara tax

portal for statuses in which nexus has been triggered. Through

EASYPayment’s seamless integration with this cloud-based

sales tax software, every feature and functionality offered by

Avalara can be utilized, including the ability to expose sales

tax reports to administrative users of these ecommerce sites.

Other reporting capabilities were included for administrative

users as well, such as SEO reporting based on the sites’

visibility across a variety of online search engines. Integrated

with Google Analytics, the sites are monitored using several

different KPIs, including conversion rate, average transaction

value, average item per basket, and social media interactions

as well. Dynamic meta tags are also included to assist with

item search ranking amongst popular search engines, an

initiative used to drive traffic to each of the store fronts.

The single installation of EASYProcess allowed for multiple,

separate ecommerce sites to be built and managed easily and

through a central location. While each site serves different

communities and includes varying functionality as a result,

each have the same payment, tax, and SEO reporting

capabilities, along with the standard features of

EASYCommerce. Email [email protected] to learn
