Our company is looking at switching over to JD Edwards and want to include their maintenance module for us to use as our cmms. We are currently using an internet based system which we like. Does anyone have any pros and cons of JD Edwards CMMS ?

Never heard of JD Edwards CMMS. However, swtiching to other CMMS might involve of migration of your existing data such as asset register and work histories which could be time-consuming & effort-intensive unless you are willing to lose them.

I think a good CMMS would include the following parts as a minimum:
1) data analyses for KPIs
2) asset register with bill of materials
3) tasklist
4) planning & scheduling
5) Work order processing
6) material master
7) Inventory
8) store
9) Contracting

Please... check for the future of JDedwards ... now that this is an Oracle "division". We have a powerful CMMS solution that links to any ERP system. Take a look at http://www.guideti.com

Is JDE popular in Canada? A quick question, can it give the total cost of work order = cost of materials + cost of labour + cost of services + cost of tools used? Can it give planned cost of work order vs its actual cost?

Josh, I'm Really not a specialist of JD Edwards. The thing I know is that right now, even resellers of JD Edwards are looking for other solutions to implement. We are right now replacing JD Edwards maintenance modules with customers and they tell us that our module is a lot better. In guideTI for exemple you have the to total costs that you need (related to your last message).
