Order Generation
The procurement process begins when the need arises for items or services. This
need is typically presented to the purchasing department in the form of a
requisition. A requisition is a document that identifies to the buyer what is
needed, when it is needed, and the approximate or actual cost associated with
the item or service requested. The requisition can then be used to generate a
quote for suppliers to bid on or to generate a purchase order. The purchase
order that is created from the requisition is the written contract between the
buyer and the seller for the purchase of items or services at an agreed price and
delivery date.
Purchasing Methods
Inventory
NonĆinventory
Subcontracting
Purchasing for inventory includes items intended for resale, raw materials, and
manufactured items. These items require full integration between the
Procurement system and the Inventory Management system. This kind of system
integration validates that the item exists in inventory. Information included about
the inventory item might include cost, description, supplier, and units of
measure. An example of an inventory item for a manufacturer of computer
hardware would be printed circuit boards.
Purchasing for nonĆinventory includes goods, materials, and services that are
used internally or are subsequently charged to outside parties. Typically, these
items and services are recorded in general ledger accounts. Examples of
nonĆinventory items include office supplies, maintenance, repair, and operating
supplies (MRO), and building services.
Receipt Processing
You use blanket orders when your organization repeatedly purchases an item or
service. You create a blanket order based on a specified amount or quantity that
has been projected to be used over a period of time, typically one year. As
required, quantities are released from the blanket order and the system creates a
purchase order. You use a blanket order to reduce the administrative costs
associated with processing purchase orders and also to streamline the
procurement process. An example of a blanket order is 1,200 cases of shop
towels used by the maintenance department throughout the year. The buyer
then releases quantities of approximately 100 cases per month.
You use quote orders when you want to solicit a competitive bid for an item
from a number of suppliers. The Request for Quote (RFQ) includes the quantity,
specifications, delivery date, and response date needed. After suppliers return
the RFQ, the buyer evaluates the information and awards the purchase order to
the supplier that best meets the specifications of cost, delivery, and quality
outlined in the RFQ. Quote orders can be directly generated from requisitions
and, in turn, purchase orders can be generated directly from quote orders.
Change orders enable a buyer to change the original purchase order or contract.
Change orders are important because they provide an audit trail about changes
to the original purchase order or contract.
Approval Processing
Approval processing refers to the steps that a requisition or purchase order goes
through to gain the appropriate authorization to purchase the goods or services
specified. The process of requiring approvals at the requisition level or purchase
order level is becoming more common. Depending on the amount of the
requisition or purchase order, different people in the organization need to
approve the order at different levels.
Receipt Routing
Receipt routing allows you to track the location of purchased items after they
leave the supplier's warehouse. Receipt routing allows you to know where
products: whether they are on the way to the warehouse, in the receiving
process, or in the warehouse. Receipt routing provides improved customer
service levels to the purchasing department's internal customers. Receipt routing
can also be used to record the disposition of items out of the receiving process if
they do not meet the specifications outlined on the purchase order. An example
of the steps that an item might move through in a given receipt route include:
In transit
In customs
In inspection
Received into stock
Supplier Management
A key step in building a strong supply chain for your organization is developing
ongoing partnerships with your suppliers. Some of the tools available to develop
these relationships include:
Performance analysis
Supplier price comparison information
Certified supplier status
AgreedĆupon terms
Item catalog costing
To monitor your suppliers' performance, you should consider the following key
areas:
Cost
Delivery
Quality
You determine cost based on the supplier with the best value and not on the
supplier with the lowest cost. Delivery analysis is based on the number of days
late as well as the number of days early that are agreed upon. Quality analysis
evaluates whether the supplier has met the specifications for the items included
on the purchase order after they have been received.
Received quantities Tolerance rules let you specify the actual quantity or
exceed purchase order percentage you allow to be received that is greater than
quantities the quantity specified on the purchase order. You can set
the tolerance rule by item, item category code, or
company. Tolerance rules reduce the time spent getting
approvals from buyers that allow overĆshipments to be
received.
Inefficient requisition The system provides you with the necessary tools to
processing create a requisition, generate a quote from that requisition,
and then generate a purchase order from the quote. The
number of suppliers from whom you can solicit quotes is
unlimited, the number of items quoted is unlimited, and
the number of purchase orders that you can create is
unlimited. Processing all of these tasks online improves
efficiency, links all of the documents together, and
provides an audit trail of the necessary information to
create purchase order or quote orders.
Multiple approval Approval routes for purchase orders and requisitions are
routings needed defined by document type. By specifying a different
document type for each department's purchase orders, the
system allows you to set up unique approval routes.
These routes are customized by the amount levels and the
number of people included on each route. Customer
satisfaction improves because purchase orders move
through the system faster.
Manual item restriction Item restrictions allow you to gain control over specific
system items you purchase from specific suppliers. The Item
Restrictions field in the purchasing instructions for each
supplier enables you to include or exclude a list of items
that can be purchased from that supplier. By automating
this process, the system eliminates any chance of you
purchasing items that should not be purchased from that
supplier.
Inconsistent MRO The NonĆStock Item Master form enables you to keep
tracking and record track of nonĆinventory items that are purchased
keeping repeatedly, such as MRO items. Information about each
item can include item number, description, unit of
measure, cost, line type, buyer number, and search text.
This information can be summarized in reports that
provide history about each item that is purchased. The
benefits of using the NonĆStock Item Master form include:
Documented cost basis
Logical sequencing of item numbers
Consistent searches of text words
Defined units of measure
Listing of items by responsible buyer
Lack of visibility as Receipt routing shows the visibility needed to track times
items move from from the suppliers' warehouses to the final stocking
receiving to final location in your warehouse. The system allows you to
location assign items to multiple receipt routes. The steps in the
receipt route are user defined and might include
inspection, dock, customs, transit, and stock. The system
also allows you to record the disposition of items that do
not meet specification at any step in the receipt route. For
upĆtoĆdate item information, the system provides the
availability of an item before it reaches its final location.
Because OneWorld is an integrated enterprise resource
planning system, this same information can be viewed by
customer service representatives to determine the
availability of items for sale.
Replenishing inventory
Acquiring materials used to complete projects
Charging purchased goods and services to specific departments, jobs, or
cost centers
Procurement involves order entry through actual payment for the goods and
services that you receive. You must carefully plan the cycle through which you
intend to process your orders and set up the Procurement system accordingly.
Setup issues include order types, line types, and order activity rules.
You can perform activities that are specific to your procurement operation, such
as special order processing, approval processing, and supplier management. A
variety of features are available to help you process orders quickly and
effectively. Extensive review and reporting capabilities can help you make
decisions about current and future purchasing strategies.

System Integration
The Procurement system works in conjunction with J.D. Edwards accounting, job
cost, distribution/logistics, and manufacturing systems to cover all aspects of
processing purchase orders. The Procurement system accommodates Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) so that you can send and receive documents
electronically.
The following graphic illustrates how the Procurement system integrates with
J.D. Edwards accounting systems and other J.D. Edwards distribution/logistics
systems.

The Procurement system integrates with the General Accounting and Accounts
Payable systems. With the use of automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) and
userĆinput account numbers, the system relays pertinent transaction information
to your accounting systems.
Address Book
The Procurement system coordinates with the Address Book system to retrieve:
Distribution/Logistics
Your company might integrate the J.D. Edwards Procurement system with the
J.D. Edwards Inventory Management system. This integration involves the
validation and exchange of information that pertains to inventory items.
Manufacturing
Your Procurement system can interact with several J.D. Edwards manufacturing
systems to help process parts availability, work orders, forecasting and planning,
product costing, and so forth.
Job Costing
Your Procurement system can also interact with the J.D. Edwards Job Cost
system to view subcontract commitments. Using job status inquiry you can view
your job and project commitment details on an accountĆbyĆaccount basis.
The Electronic Commerce system consists of J.D. Edwards System 47, which is
the application interface containing interface files, tables, and programs. System
47 works with a thirdĆparty translation software that translates EDI standard data
into a J.D. Edwards flat file format so that the J.D. Edwards application software
can manage the data.
The inbound conversion program moves the translated data into the J.D.
Edwards EDI interface tables. The J.D. Edwards Electronic Commerce system
then moves the data into the appropriate application tables. When you send
documents, the system performs the procedures in reverse order.
The EDI documents that J.D. Edwards currently supports for the purchasing
system are listed in the following table. The table includes corresponding codes
for ANSI and EDIFACT, which are EDI standard crossĆindustry terms.

Procurement Methods
Based on your business objectives, the system provides three different methods
by which you can procure goods and services:
You must use the purchasing for inventory method to purchase goods for a
stockĆbased environment. This method enables full integration between the
Procurement system and the Inventory Management system. You purchase items
based on the item numbers that exist in the Inventory Management system. The
Procurement system:
Updates item information such as onĆhand balances, and unit costs in the
Inventory Management system
Your company might purchase goods, materials, or services that are used
internally or are subsequently charged to outside parties. Purchases might apply
to:
Jobs
Projects
Internal consumption
Repair and maintenance
Parts chargeable on a work order
You use the purchasing for nonĆinventory method to charge purchases against
general ledger account numbers. Each account number can represent a job or
project. This method accommodates nonĆstock, and services and expenditures
based environments.
You can also use the purchasing for nonĆinventory method to purchase items
that exist in the Inventory Management system. The Procurement system
validates item numbers and retrieves item descriptions and costs from the
Inventory Management system, but does not update item balance information.
Subcontracting
You use the subcontracting method to manage the daily and long term details of
contracts, payments, and commitments that are associated with your jobs. In
addition, you can do any of the following:
When you create a new contract, you enter subcontractor information, the work
to be done, contract commitments, dates, log items, and so on. For existing
contracts, you can enter commitment change orders and track the completion of
submittals and transmittals.
You can also enter and release progress payments or hold progress payments.
Progress payments are payments that you make to your subcontractors as their
jobs progress.
Procurement Environments
The Procurement system provides four different environments in which you can
perform your purchasing activities:
Stock based
NonĆstock based
Services and expenditures based
Subcontract based
You choose the environment that is most conducive to your operation. For
example, the stockĆbased environment enables you to perform activities
common to inventory operations, such as supplier management and rebate
processing. The nonĆstock and the services and expenditures based
environments enable you to track commitments and encumbrances. The
subcontractĆbased environment enables you to enter subcontracts and changes
to the subcontract.
Many activities are common to all four environments. However, the menus and
forms for each are set up differently to accommodate processes and procedures
specific to each environment.
Creating an order
Receiving the goods or services
Creating a voucher to pay for the goods or services
After you enter an order, you can enter receipt information on the system
(formal receiving process) to receive the goods or services. If you follow
informal receipt processing, you must compare invoice information to the
original purchase order to create a voucher. If you purchase for inventory, you
must use the formal receiving process. If you purchase against general ledger
(G/L) account numbers, you can use either the formal or informal receiving
process.
The method you use to create vouchers depends on your receiving process. If
you use the formal receiving process, you can create vouchers:
The following graphics show the tables that are affected as an order flows
through the formal or informal procurement process.

Each time you enter an order, you must provide details about the items and
services that you want to order. For each item or service, you must enter a line
of detail that describes the item or service, including the quantity and cost.
You must specify a line type for each detail line. The line type indicates how the
system manages information on the detail line. For example, you might have a
line type of S (for stock items) to indicate that the system is to replenish the
quantity of the item in the Inventory Management system and reflect the cost in
the general ledger and the Accounts Payable system.
You must set up order processing cycles to indicate how the system is to process
the detail lines for each order type (purchase orders, requisitions, blanket orders,
and so forth). For example, you can set up the processing cycle for inventory
purchase orders as follows:
You use order activity rules to define the operations the system performs for a
processing cycle and to indicate the progression of the steps.
You must set up order activity rules for every combination of order type and line
type. You use user defined status codes to set up the order activity rules. Each
status code represents a step in the processing cycle, for example printing the
order.
Each detail line of an order contains a pair of status codes. These codes identify
the last status and the next status to which the system advances the line. The last
status code represents the last operation performed on the order. The next status
code represents the next step in the processing cycle.

Each time you want to purchase goods or services, you must enter an order. You
enter orders to specify details about the goods or services you are purchasing, to
indicate the supplier from whom you are purchasing, and to specify other
pertinent information.
You can enter header information and detail information separately. Depending
on your volume of orders and the amount of header information you need to
enter, you use processing options to choose one of the following methods to
enter orders:
Several tools are available to help you create orders. These tools allow you to
generate multiple orders at the same time, locate item and supplier information,
and so forth.
You can have the system check orders to verify that costs do not exceed budget
limits. You can place an order on hold if it exceeds budget or for any other
reason. You can review upĆtoĆdate commitment, budget, log, and order hold
information.
After you generate orders, you can make changes to the orders and print the
orders.
- Printing orders
The system maintains header and detail information in two separate tables:
- Verify that item master information and item branch/plant information are
set up for each of your inventory items.
- Verify that branch/plant constants are set up for each of your business
units or branches (required for only inventory management).
- Set up default location and printer information for your terminal or user
profile (optional).
To generate an order, you must provide information about the supplier who is
to fill the order, the branch/plant that is requesting the order, and the shipping
address for the order. This information is called order header information.
The header information that you enter determines how the system processes the
order. For example:
Header information also includes the date the order is placed, the date the
order is due, and reference information, such as the user entering the order.
Using the processing options for Order Entry, you can display a header form
before the detail form. Depending on how you set the processing options,
certain fields can display on the header form. If you choose to bypass the
header form, you must enter limited header information on the detail form.
Based on the supplier and branch/plant that you enter, the system applies
default values to the fields on the header form.
If you purchase goods or services from international suppliers, you might need
to enter order amounts in different currencies, such as dollars, marks, francs, or
yen. Before you can do this, you must enter the following types of information
on the header form:
See Also
You might have different arrangements with each of your suppliers in regard to
terms of payment, freight handling, invoice methods, and so forth. When you
enter order header information, you must specify the supplier from whom you
are requesting the order and any specific arrangements to which you and the
supplier have agreed.
You can set up procurement instructions to specify the arrangements that you
have with each of your suppliers. When you enter a supplier on an order, the
system retrieves the instructions for that supplier. You can modify the
instructions to suit a specific order.
To enter a supplier for an order, the supplier must exist in the Address Book
system. If this is not the case, you can enter the supplier in the Address Book
system when you enter order header information. You can also enter master
information for the supplier if the information does not already exist.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
The Order Header form appears if you have set processing options to
display header information before detail information.
If you have set up purchasing instructions for a supplier on the A/P Supplier
MasterĆPurchasing form, the system supplies default values for several fields
above based on the supplier you enter for the order. You can access the A/P
Supplier MasterĆPurchasing form through the Supplier Master form exit on the
Order Header form.
Field Explanation
Print Message A user defined code that you assign to each print
message. Examples of text used in messages are
engineering specifications, hours of operation during
holiday periods, and special delivery instructions.
Freight Handling Code A user defined code (system 42/type FR) that identifies
when you take responsibility of the goods so that freight
charges are applied accordingly.
Cost Rule A user defined code (41/P5) that indicates the landed cost
rule for an item. The landed cost rule determines
purchasing costs that exceed the actual price of an item,
such as broker fees or commissions. You set up landed
cost rules on the Landed Cost Revisions form.
Evaluated Receipt A code that indicates if an order is eligible for the
evaluated receipt settlement process. An evaluated receipt
settlement indicates that you have an agreement with the
supplier to create vouchers based on the items that you
receive. You use the Evaluated Receipt Settlement
(R43800) procedure to create vouchers from receipt
records. As a result, the supplier does not send you
invoices and you can bypass the Voucher Match
procedure.
Valid values are:
N Not eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing.
Y Eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing.
I Receipt transaction is in process.
T Eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing. However, a tolerance error occurred
during the receipt process.
R Eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing. However, the receipt is currently in
the receipt routing process.
V A voucher has been created for the receipt
transaction using the evaluated receipt
settlement process.
Field Explanation
Payment Terms Code A code that specifies the terms of payment, including the
percentage of discount available if the invoice is paid
within a certain amount of time. A blank code indicates
the most frequently used payment term. You define the
specifications for each type of payment term on the
Payment Terms Revisions form.
This code prints on customer invoices.
The following are examples of valid values:
blank Net 30 days (default)
001 1/10 net 30
002 Net 30 days (override)
003 Prox days 1/10
004 Due at first of month
005 50/50 split payments
006 Due upon receipt
AIA Document A code that specifies whether, during the Accounts
Payable payment processing cycle, the system prints an
AIA (American Institute of Architects) format turnaround
document, a Waiver of Lien document, or both. These
documents print only when a contract payment is printed.
If you choose to print progress payments for contracts on
the standard A/P payment, you will not receive an AIA
document or a Waiver of Lien document. Valid values for
this field are:
Blank or N Ċ Do not print AIA or Waiver of Lien
documents
1 or Y Ċ Print AIA document only
2 or B Ċ Print AIA document and Waiver of Lien
document
3 or W Ċ Print Waiver of Lien document only
- Set the appropriate option under the Processing tab to allow for access to
the Address Book

Setting Up Supplier and Item Information if you need to set up the
supplier information
This type of address change applies only to the order you are entering. You can
also enter a temporary address change for the shipĆto entity.
You generate an order for a specific branch/plant, business unit, project, or job
within your company. In most instances, goods are shipped to the same
branch/plant that requests the order. However, you might want to ship the
goods to another location.
You must specify the branch/plant, business unit, project, or job for which you
are placing an order. When you enter a branch/plant, the system retrieves the
shipĆto address from Branch/Plant Constants provided that the shipĆto address
exists in the address book. If you want to ship the order to a different shipping
address, you can override the shipĆto address number.
You can enter instructions for the delivery of an order. For example, you can
specify that goods be delivered to a certain dock at the warehouse. You can
have the system retrieve default delivery instructions set up for the shipĆto
address on A/P Supplier MasterĆPurchasing.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Field Explanation
Supplier A number that identifies an entry in the Address Book
system. Use this number to identify employees,
applicants, participants, customers, suppliers, tenants, a
location, and any other address book members.
Ship To The address number of the location to which you want to
ship this order. The address book provides default values
for customer address, including street, city, state, zip
code, and country.
Delivery Instructions Line Text that describes the delivery instructions for this order.
1
When you enter an order, you might request that the supplier deliver the order
by a specific date. If the supplier cannot deliver the order by the date you
request, you can specify the date that the supplier promises to deliver the order.
In addition, you can specify the date that you place the order and the date that
the order expires.
When a direct ship sales order is created in Sales Order Management, the
system automatically creates a corresponding direct ship purchase order. If you
change the date that the supplier promises to deliver for the direct ship
purchase order, the system automatically changes the delivery date on the
corresponding sales order.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
If you do not enter an order date, a scheduled pick date, or a requested date,
the system enters the current system date. If you do not enter a scheduled pick
date, the system enters the requested date.
Field Explanation
The date that an order was entered into the system.
Requested The date that you request an order or item to be
delivered.
Promised Delivery The date that the supplier promised to deliver this order.
The system uses this date in conjunction with the receipt
date to evaluate supplier performance.
Cancel Date The date that the order should be canceled if the goods
have not been sent to the customer or the goods have
not been received from the supplier. This is a memoĆonly
field and does not cause the system to perform any type
of automatic processing.

In most business environments, you are required to pay taxes on the items you
purchase. You can have the system calculate taxes for an order based on the tax
information that you enter for the order.
The system provides default values for tax fields based on the master
information that you have set up for the supplier. You can use the Order Entry
processing options to specify that the system retrieve the default value for the
tax rate area from the master information for the shipĆto address.
If you are using the Vertex Quantum Sales and Use Tax system in conjunction
with J.D. Edwards software, the system retrieves default GeoCodes to determine
the tax rate to apply to the order.
Assuming that an order has more than one item, you can change tax
information to accommodate each item or service. Then taxes are applicable for
the item or service only if you have specified that the detail line is taxable.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Field Explanation
Tax Expl Code A user defined code (00/EX) that controls how a tax is
assessed and distributed to the general ledger revenue
and expense accounts.
A single invoice can have both taxable and nonĆtaxable
items. The entire invoice, however, must have one tax
explanation code.
The Tax Explanation Code is used in conjunction with
the Tax Rate Area and Tax Rules by Company to
determine how the tax is calculated. Each transaction pay
item can be defined with a different tax explanation code,
including E, to exempt the pay item from calculating
taxes.
Field Explanation
Tax Rate/Area A code that identifies a tax or geographic area that has
common tax rates and tax distribution. The tax rate/area
must be defined to include the tax authorities (for
example, state, county, city, rapid transit district, or
province), and their rates. To be valid, a code must be set
up in the Tax Rate/Area table (F4008).
Typically, U.S. sales and use taxes require multiple tax
authorities per tax rate/area, whereas valueĆadded tax
(VAT) requires only one simple rate.
The system uses this code to properly calculate the tax
amount.
Certificate A number that identifies a license or certificate that tax
authorities issue to taxĆexempt individuals and
companies.

You can enter reference information for an order when you enter header
information. The reference information is primarily for informational purposes.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Field Explanation
Carrier The address book number of the carrier, which is
specified by the customer or by your organization. You
might use this carrier because of route requirements or
special handling requirements.
Buyer The address book number that identifies who is
responsible for setting up and maintaining the correct
stocking levels for each inventory item.
Reference A field available to record reference numbers, such as the
supplier's bid document number, quote document, sales
order, work order, or job number.
This field is for informational purposes only.
After you enter header information for an order, such as the supplier to fill the
order and the branch/plant requesting the order, you must enter information
about each item or service that you want to procure on the Order Detail form.
For each item or service, you must enter a line of detail that describes:
Depending on your business objectives, you can use the following methods to
enter order detail lines:
By item number
By general ledger account number
If you run an inventory operation in which you stock items for resale, internal
use, or manufacturing purposes, you must enter detail lines by item number. If
you purchase goods or services for internal use or for use on a certain job or
project, you can enter detail lines by account number, item number, or both.
If the supplier has an Internet home page set up with items that it offers, you
can preview supplier information in the electronic catalog before entering the
order detail information. On the Order Detail form, you can use a form exit to
preview supplier information.
The system provides default values for detail lines based on the header
information on an order. You can add and change the information for each
detail line based on what is relevant to your purchasing process. For example, if
you purchase items for inventory, you must specify the unit of measure for the
item. You can also specify the location where the item is stored upon receipt,
and the weight, volume, lot, and manufacturing information for the item. You
also can attach notes, or narrative text, to each detail line.
You can enter tax information for each detail line to have the system calculate
taxes on the goods or services you are purchasing. If the supplier provides a
discount on the order, you can enter the terms of the discount. By assigning
reporting codes to a detail line, you can group items for reporting purposes.
If the supplier uses a different currency than your company's base currency,
you must enter costs in foreign currency.
For an existing order, you can use the Order Detail form to review summary
information such as items, account numbers, order quantities, prices, extended
volumes and weights, total tax amount, and total dollar amount.
You might need to cancel a detail line if you no longer want to purchase the
items or services that the line contains. When you cancel a line, the system
closes the line and assigns it a last status of 980 (canceled order entry) and a
next status of 999, which indicates that the purchasing process for the line is
complete. If you want the closed line to appear when you are reviewing the
order, you can set the processing options for Order Entry. If you want the
closed line deleted from the system, you must run a purge.
The system provides four grid formats as tabs on the Order Detail form. Each
tab displays the columns in the detail area of the form in a different order. In
this guide, the stock based environment and forms are shown as examples.
- You must set the Order Entry processing options to have the system enter
a current status code and a next status code for each detail line. These
codes determine the next process that the detail line goes through in the
purchasing process. For more information about status codes, see Setting
Up Order Activity Rules.
- You must set the Order Entry processing options to indicate the method
by which the system updates detail lines with changes to header
information. If you do not set the processing options to automatically
update the header information, you must do so manually on the Order
Header form by choosing Header to Detail/Define, which allows you to
specify which fields to update, and then Header to Detail/Populate from
the Form menu.

If you work in an environment in which you stock items for resale, internal use,
or manufacturing purposes, you enter the item numbers set up in the Inventory
Management system to make purchases. After you enter an item number on a
detail line, the system:
The system retrieves information, such as the cost, description, and unit of
measure for the item and enters it on the detail line. You can override these
values and specify additional information, such as a storage location, a lot
number, an asset identifier, manufacturing details, and landed cost rules.
When a direct ship sales order is created in Sales Order Management, the
system automatically creates a corresponding direct ship purchase order. If you
change the cost values for the direct ship purchase order, the system
automatically changes the cost values on the corresponding sales order.
After you enter all detail lines on the purchase order, the system displays a
warning message if the value of the order either exceeds the maximum order
value or is below the minimum order value that is specified for the supplier in
the purchasing instructions.
You determine how the system processes information on each detail line. For
example, you can direct the system to update the availability of an item in the
Inventory Management system upon receipt. As another example, you can have
the system retrieve the unit cost of the item you are ordering provided you
assign a line type (such as Y, B, or D) to the detail line that tells the
Procurement system to interface with the Inventory Management system. You
must enter a line type for each detail line to indicate how the transaction works
with other J.D. Edwards systems.
Another example of how the detail line information that you enter affects other
systems is general ledger (G/L) information. The G/L class code that you enter
for a detail line determines the inventory account and the received not
vouchered account for which the system creates journal entries. The system
creates these entries when you enter a receipt.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
If you have set processing options to bypass the header form, Order
Detail appears. Otherwise, you must enter header information on Order
Header before you can proceed to Order Detail.

Tr UoM A user defined code (00/UM) that indicates the quantity
in which to express an inventory item, for example, CS
(case) or BX (box).
Pu UoM A user defined code (00/UM) that identifies the unit of
measure in which you usually purchase the item.
Last Status A user defined code (40/AT) that specifies the last step in
the processing cycle that this order line successfully
completed.
Next Status A user defined code (40/AT) that indicates the next step
in the order process.
Field Explanation
G/L Offset The table of Automatic Accounting Instruction accounts
that allows you to predefine classes of automatic offset
accounts for Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and
other systems.
G/L offsets might be assigned as follows:
Blank or 1210- Trade Accounts Receivable
RETN or 1220 - Retainages Receivable
EMP or 1230 - Employee Accounts Receivable
JIB or 1240 - JIB Receivable (See A/R Class Code
- ARC)
Blank or 4110 - Trade Accounts Payable
RETN or 4120 - Retainage Payable
OTHR or 4230 - Other Accounts Payable (See A/P
Class code - APC)
If you leave this field blank during data entry, the system
uses the default value from the Customer Master by Line
of Business table (F03012) or the Supplier Master table
(F0401). The post program uses the G/L Offset class to
create automatic offset entries.
Note: Do not use code 9999. It is reserved for the post
program and indicates that offsets should not be created.
Location The area in the warehouse where you receive inventory.
The format of the location is user defined and you enter
the location format for each branch/plant.
Asset ID A 25Ćcharacter alphanumeric number that you can use as
an alternate asset identification number. You might use
this number to track assets by the manufacturer's serial
number. You are not required to use a serial number to
identify an asset. Every serial number that you enter must
be unique.
Print Message A user defined code that you assign to each print
message. Examples of text used in messages are
engineering specifications, hours of operation during
holiday periods, and special delivery instructions.
Report Code 1 A reporting code that differentiates segments of inventory
in ways meaningful to those personnel responsible for
the buying function in an organization. Depending upon
the nature of the inventory, this code might be used to
establish attributes such as:
Color
Country of origin
Primary content (for example, brass, wood, etc.)
Seasonality
Rebate group
J.D. Edwards has predefined reporting code 1 as a
purchasing code for commodity class.
Field Explanation
Extended Weight The total weight of the items on an order line. This is the
quantity ordered in primary unit of measure multiplied by
the item's unit weight.
Extended Volume The total volume of the items on an order line. This is
determined by multiplying the quantity ordered in
primary unit of measure by the item's unit volume.
Freeze Code A code that indicates if the order is frozen. MPS/MRP
does not plan for frozen orders.
Valid codes are:
Y Yes, freeze the order.
N No, do not freeze the order (default).
See Also
When you enter detail lines by account number, you can have the system
perform commitment and budget tracking. For example, a certain account
number represents your office supply expenses. Each time you purchase goods
against the account number, you can have the system:
Track the amount and quantity of office supplies that you are committed
to purchase
Validate that the cost of the supplies does not exceed the budget for
office supplies
You determine how the system processes information on each detail line. For
example, you can require that the system process a line based on both an
account number and an item number. You must enter a line type for each detail
line to indicate how the transaction works with other J.D. Edwards systems.
If you are entering a lump sum for a detail line, you must enter an inventory
interface of A or N.
A final example of how the detail line information that you enter affects other
systems is general ledger information. The system tracks purchasing expenses in
the general ledger based on the G/L class code that you enter for a detail line.
The G/L class code determines the received not vouchered account to which
the system applies a credit if you enter a formal receipt.
If you have set processing options to bypass the header form, Order
Detail appears. Otherwise, you must enter header information on Order
Header before you can proceed to Order Detail.

Field Explanation
Account Number A field that identifies an account in the general ledger.
You can use one of the following formats for account
numbers:
Standard account number (business
unit.object.subsidiary or flexible format)
Third G/L number (maximum of 25 digits)
8Ćdigit short account ID number
Speed code
The first character of the account indicates the format of
the account number. You define the account format in
the General Accounting Constants program.
Subsidiary A subdivision of an object account. Subsidiary accounts
include more detailed records of the accounting activity
for an object account.
Obj Acct The portion of a general ledger account that refers to the
division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials,
and equipment) into subcategories. For example, dividing
labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.
Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the
object account is set to 6 digits, J.D. Edwards
recommends that you use all 6 digits. For example,
entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456, because
if you enter 456, the system enters three blank spaces to
fill a 6Ćdigit object.
Field Explanation
Subledger A code that identifies a detailed auxiliary account within a
general ledger account. A subledger can be an equipment
item number or an address book number. If you enter a
subledger, you must also specify the subledger type.
Sub Type A user defined code (00/ST) that is used with the
Subledger field to identify the subledger type and how
the system performs subledger editing. On the User
Defined Codes form, the second line of the description
controls how the system performs editing. This is either
hardĆcoded or user defined. For example:
A Alphanumeric field, do not edit
N Numeric field, right justify and zero fill
C Alphanumeric field, right justify and blank fill

If you use Transportation Management, you can set up processing so that the
system automatically creates shipment for a purchase order based on the order
type and line type combination that you define in the user defined code tables
(49/SD). The shipment is a request to transport goods from the supplier to the
branch/plant. If you do not enter a carrier and mode of transport during order
entry, the system retrieves default carrier and transport information from any of
the following:
See Also
You can enter tax information that is specific to a detail line. This tax
information determines whether taxes apply to the items or services on the
detail line, and how the system calculates the taxes.
The system retrieves default tax information for each detail line based on the
tax information that you entered for the order. If tax information for the detail
line differs from that for the rest of the order, you can change the tax
information to accommodate the detail line.
If you are using the Vertex Quantum Sales and Use Tax system in conjunction
with J.D. Edwards software, the system retrieves default GeoCodes to determine
the tax rate to apply to the order.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Field Explanation
Taxable A code that indicates whether the item is subject to sales
tax when you purchase it. The system calculates tax on
the item only if the supplier is also taxable.
Expl Code A user defined code (00/EX) that controls how tax is
assessed on the order.
Field Explanation
Rate/Area A code that identifies a tax or geographic area that has
common tax rates and tax distribution. The tax rate/area
must be defined to include the tax authorities (for
example, state, county, city, rapid transit district, or
province), and their rates. To be valid, a code must be set
up in the Tax Rate/Area table (F4008).
Typically, U.S. sales and use taxes require multiple tax
authorities per tax rate/area, whereas valueĆadded tax
(VAT) requires only one simple rate.
The system uses this code to properly calculate the tax
amount.

You can enter discount terms on a detail line to have the system calculate a
discount on the items that you purchase. For example, a supplier might offer a
10 percent discount on certain items.
You can enter a specific discount factor for a detail line. The system enters a
cost for the item on the detail line based on the discount factor. For example, to
specify a 10 percent discount for an item, you enter a discount factor of 0.90. If
the unit cost for the item is usually 10.00, the system enters a unit cost of 9.00.
You can also specify a discount for an item based on a price rule. The system
applies a discount to the unit cost of the item based on the discount set up for
the price rule. The system retrieves a default price rule for an item if:
You have attached a price rule to branch/plant information for the item.
You have attached the price rule to the supplier from whom you are
purchasing the item (or to the price group for the supplier).
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Field Explanation
Discount Factor The factor that the system applies to the unit price of an
inventory item to determine the net price. The system
retrieves this value from the inventory pricing rules if you
have assigned a rule to this item. The pricing rule setup
determines if the system multiplies the unit price by this
value or adds to or deducts from the unit price.
Item Price Group A user defined code (40/PI) that identifies an inventory
price group for an item.
Inventory price groups have unique pricing structures that
direct the system to incorporate discounts or markups on
items on sales and purchase orders. The discounts or
markups are based on the quantity, dollar amount, or
weight of the item ordered. After you assign a price
group to an item, the item uses the same pricing structure
that was defined for the inventory price group.
You must assign an inventory price group to the supplier
or customer, as well as to the item, for the system to
interactively calculate discounts and markups on sales
orders and purchase orders.
Pricing Cat. Level A pricing category or price rule can contain a variety of
levels. Within each price rule, each level is defined by its
effective date range and allowed quantity, and whether it
is based on the item's cost, price, or an amount specified
as an override.

You might want to group detail lines with similar characteristics so that you can
generate reports based on the group. For example, you can group all detail
lines for electrical items so that you can produce a report that lists open order
information for electrical items. To group detail lines, you assign reporting
codes to each line. The reporting codes are default codes that are associated
with the classification codes for an item on the Item Branch/Plant Information
form.
Five categories of reporting codes are available for purchasing. Each category
represents a specific group of codes. For example, you might have a category
for commodities. Within this category would be different codes, each of which
represents a specific type of commodity, such as aluminum or copper.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
To complete each field, access the corresponding user defined code table
and choose the appropriate code.
Field Explanation
Report Code 1 A reporting code that differentiates segments of inventory
in ways meaningful to those personnel responsible for
the buying function in an organization. Depending upon
the nature of the inventory, this code might be used to
establish attributes such as:

You might enter an order for an item, but the supplier does not have the
quantity available to fill the order. You can review a list of substitute items and
choose an item to replace the item on a detail line. If the system notifies you
that the item on a detail line is obsolete, you can review and choose a
replacement for the item.
The substitutes or replacements that the system displays are based on the
crossĆreference types from the Inventory Management system that you specify in
the processing options for the Order Entry program and the Purchase Order
Workbench program.
You can specify whether you want to review substitute or replacement items
after you enter a detail line. You can have the system replace the item number,
the item description, and the cost on a detail line with that of a substitute or
replacement item.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
1. On Work With Order Headers, locate the order for which you want to
enter a substitute or replacement item.
2. Click on the order, then choose Detail Revision from the Row menu.
3. On Order Detail, choose the row that contains the item that you want to
replace.
4. From the Row menu, choose either Substitute Items or Obsolete Items.
Kits are comprised of component items that are associated to a parent item. Kits
are useful if your company sells combinations of products. For example, if your
company sells stereo systems, you can set up a kit with a parent name of stereo.
The stereo kit can contain components such as speakers and a compact disc
player, which you typically want to sell together. You can have an item number
for the kit that you enter on a purchase order, but the parent item, stereo, is not
stocked as an inventory item.
When you enter an item number for a kit, you can review the preselected
components and the quantities that comprise the kit. You can also select any
optional items that you want to include on the purchase order.
If you change quantity information for the kit, you must manually adjust the
corresponding cost information. If you need to cancel component lines, you
must cancel each line individually.
- Verify that you have set the appropriate processing option in the Purchase
Order Entry program that displays kit component lines.
- Verify that kit items have been set up. See Entering Kit Information in the
Inventory Management Guide.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Defaults Tab
These processing options define the default information that the system uses
during Purchase Order Entry (P4310).
1. Order Type
Use this processing option to identify the type of document. This user defined
code (00/DT) also indicates the origin of the transaction. J.D. Edwards has
reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries
are not selfĆbalancing when you originally enter them.) The following prefixes
for document types are defined by J.D. Edwards, and J.D. Edwards recommends
that you do not change them:
You must enter a value that has been set up in user defined code table 00/DT.
2. Line Type
Use this processing option to specify how the system processes lines on a
transaction. The line type affects the systems with which the transaction
interfaces (General Ledger, Job Cost, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
and Inventory Management). The line type also specifies the conditions for

non-posting header account. Note that the object account will not be
used when the system retrieves the account description.
Blank The system retrieves the account description from the account that
consists of the business unit, object, and subsidiary.
Use this processing option to specify how the system assigns line numbers on a
change order.
1 The system starts the sequencing process over for each change order. If
you enter 1, the system retains and increments the line number sequence
within each individual change order, but for the next change order, the
system starts over with the line number sequencing.
Blank The system assigns unique line numbers on a continuous, incremental
basis. When there are multiple change orders, the system assigns line
numbers on a continuous, incremental basis rather than starting over with
line number sequencing for each change order.

You can avoid manually entering purchase orders by having the system create
new purchase orders based on existing detail line information. If the detail lines
you are working with are applicable to several different suppliers, the system
creates a separate purchase order for each supplier.
If there are multiple detail lines for a supplier, it is because each line pertains to
a different branch/plant. The system uses the Next Numbers program to assign a
single purchase order number to each supplier. You can also assign the order
numbers manually.
You can use processing options to specify default values for the orders that the
system creates. These values include the order type and the beginning status
code. You can also indicate special processing for the new orders, such as
approval routes and budget checking.
Creating purchase orders from existing detail lines is the final procedure for
several different Procurement programs, including:
Purchasing Workbench
Generate Purchase Orders from Requisitions
Generate Purchase Orders from Blanket Orders
Generate Quotes from Requisitions
Purchase Order Generator
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Purchase Order
Workbench.
2. On Suppliers Selected for Order, verify that the system has combined all
releases into a separate line for each supplier and branch/plant.
3. To review information about the items to be included on a certain order,
choose the order and choose Details from the Row menu.
Note that you can cancel an order detail line, an item, or an account by
deleting it. The system automatically updates original order detail lines
with any cancellations or changes that you make to quantity, cost, unit of
measure, or request date.
The system creates a purchase order for each line on Suppliers Selected
for Order. The Generated Purchase Orders form appears so that you can
review the new purchase order numbers.

In addition, you can roll over a commitment or encumbrance to the next fiscal
year.
For example, local governments and municipalities normally have the authority
to expend funds for one fiscal year. As a result, purchase orders and
subcontracts with open balances are often canceled at the end of the fiscal year.
To prevent these purchase orders and subcontracts from being canceled and
keep the recognition of these open balances, they must be rolled forward to the
new fiscal year.
- Understanding encumbrances
Understanding Encumbrances
You can creates order detail lines through either of the following methods:
When you create an order detail line, the system verifies that the document type
exists in the UDC 40/CT verifies that the line type has an inventory interface of
A or B, and automatically creates commitments and encumbrances .
If you create a purchase order from a requisition, you can also track
preĆencumbrances in addition to encumbrances. A preĆencumbrance is the
recognition of a future obligation from which you can commit budget amounts
based on that request. When you generate the purchase order from the
requisition, the system relieves the preĆencumbrance as you release quantities
and closes the requisition. In addition, as you generate purchase orders, the
system creates commitments for the resulting purchase order amounts.
Use the Commitment Relief constant in Job Cost Constants to establish the
criteria the system uses to automatically relieve open commitments when you
run the G/L posting program for:
Just receiving or vouchering an order does not relieve the commitment. The G/L
Post (P09800) calls the Update Commitment Ledger (X00COM) that actually
relieves the commitment. Committed dollars are relieved from the Purchase
amounts (PA) ledger and are added to the Actual Amount (AA) ledger .
When you inquire on commitments, the receipt G/L date, not the original
purchase order G/L date, is used to relieve the commitment.
In addition to the entries that are made to the purchasing tables during order
entry, receipt processing, and voucher match, the system also maintains
commitment information in the following tables:
The system creates multiple entries in the P.O. Detail Ledger (F43199). Based on
change orders, order activity rules, and commitments, the system can maintains
the following multiple ledgers to satisfy your business requirements:
Purchasing Ledger
Commitment Audit Trail (PA/PU Ledger)
Change Order Ledger (CO Ledger)
During order entry, the system creates a commitment entry in the PA and PU
ledgers in the Account Balances table (F0902). Based on the G/L date, the
system creates an entry in the appropriate accounting period and adds the
committed amount to the total budgeted amount.
If the Commitment Relief constant is set to Y, the system posts the receipt
payment to the PA and PU ledgers in the Account Balances table (F0902). Based
on the G/L date of the receipt (threeĆway match) or voucher batches (twoĆway
match), the system relieves the commitment from the appropriate period as well
as the total budgeted amount.
You can review commitment information using the Encumbrance Inquiry form.
In addition, you can generate a Commitment Integrity Report (R40910) to
compare your open order amounts against your committed amounts and
amount balances and to review any variances.
Use the Commitment Integrity Report to indicate variances among the following
tables:
The Detail file and the Audit file are compared on a toĆdate basis, which
means that all data in the files is summed regardless of date. The detail
file is not date sensitive and does not contain information such as when
you made changes to the open amount.
The system compares the Audit file and the Balances file on a
throughĆperiodĆend basis. The system uses the date you enter in the first
The columns under "Balance to Date" on the left side of the report are Purchase
Order Detail (F4311), Commitment Audit Trail (F43199 PA), and Variance. The
amounts reported by account number and subledger, respectively, are:
The columns under "Balance as of xx/xx/xx" on the right side of the report are
Commitment Audit Trail (F43199), Account Balances (F0902), and Variance. The
amounts reported by account number and subledger are:
Variances occur between the Purchase Order Detail table and the Commitment
Audit Trail under the following conditions:
To confirm all O and V batches are posted, run the Unposted Batches
Report (R007011).

- Posting Committed Cost to Jobs for more information about rebuilding the
PA and PU ledger in the Account Balances table (F0902)
After you receive goods, services, or create vouchers, you can have the system
relieve commitments and encumbrances. The system does this by reducing the
total commitment amount for a job or project by the individual commitment
amount. If you use a formal receiving process, the system performs
commitment relief when you post journal entries for receipts or vouchers to the
general ledger. If you use an informal receiving process, the system relieves
open commitments when you post vouchers to the general ledger.
The system only tracks commitments and encumbrances for detail lines that you
charge directly to a general ledger account number. These are detail lines to
which you assign a line type with an Inventory interface of A or B.
Each time you enter a purchase order detail line for which commitment tracking
is applicable, the system records the amount in the purchase amount (PA)
ledger, which contains committed purchase amounts in domestic currency, and
the purchase units (PU) ledger, which contains committed purchase units.
A branch/plant
An account number
A supplier
An order number and type
You can also review the total amount of all commitments, relieved
commitments, and open commitments for each of the above.
You can review details for each transaction, such as the account number, order
number, line number, and supplier, as well as who generated the transaction
and when.
Field Explanation
Chg No. In the A/R and A/P systems, a code that corresponds to
the pay item. In the Sales Order and Procurement
systems, this code identifies multiple transactions for an
original order.
For purchase orders, the code is always 000.
For sales orders with multiple partial receipts against an
order, the first receiver used to record receipt has a suffix
of 000, the next has a suffix of 001, the next 002, and so
on.
Amount Committed The amount committed to an order line or contract line,
including the tax amount.
Amount Relieved The amount relieved from the amount committed to an
order line or contract line, including the tax amount.
Units Committed The units committed to the order line or contract line.
Units Relieved The number of units that have been relieved from the
number of units committed to an order line or contract
line.
Total Open Units The original quantity for the order detail line, plus or
minus any changes to that quantity, minus all quantities
shipped, received, and vouchered to date.
Total Open Amount The amount of the order, invoice, or voucher that is still
unpaid or open. When you enter a document (for
example, an order, invoice, or voucher), the open amount
is the original amount of that document. If you change
the original amount, the open amount is reduced by the
net change. For example, payments, shipments, or
receipts against a document result in a reduction of the
open balance.

When you run the encumbrances rollover, the system rolls forward the fiscal
year end encumbrances and commitments. The rollover reduces the manual
effort placed on users who work in environments with a high volume of
transactions. The Encumbrance Rollover program (R4317) provides you the
option to do one of the following:
Many industries use the term decommit to relieve commitments. When you
relieve or decommit commitments and encumbrances, the system creates an RO
ledger type record. You should not purge the RO records as they must be used
to create or rebuild commitments.
See Also
Defaults Tab
Use these processing options to specify the defaults that the system applies
when you run an encumbrance rollover.
1. Rollover Method
Use this processing option to specify how the system processes yearĆend
encumbrance amounts. The method that you use depends on your business
requirements. Valid values are:
Use this processing option to specify the G/L class code that the system uses to
retrieve the AAIs. You can enter a G/L class code or leave the field blank to use
the G/L class code from the purchase order detail line. If you are processing
subcontracts with account reclassification, you must enter a G/L class code. If
you are processing both purchase orders and subcontracts, the G/L class code
that you enter will be used for both. This code determines the A/R account
(class) that is offset when you post invoices. The code that you enter in this
field can be alphanumeric or can match the object code of the G/L account
number.
Note: Do not use code 9999. The system reserves this code for the post
program and indicates that offsets will not be created.
3. Ledger Type
Use this processing option to specify the ledger type that the system uses for
the history record in the P.O. Detail Ledger table (F43199). This is a user
defined code (09/LT) that specifies the type of ledger, such as AA (actual
amounts), BA (budget amount), or AU (actual units).
Use this processing option to specify the G/L date for the current year's
encumbrance rollover. This date identifies the financial period to which the
transaction is posted. You set up the date range for each financial period in
general accounting constants.
Use this processing option to specify the G/L date to decommit the
encumbrance. This date identifies the financial period to which the transactions
will be posted. You setĆup the date range for each financial period in the
general accounting constants.
Process Tab
Use this processing option to specify whether the rollover should be processed
in proof or final mode
1. Process
Use this processing option to specify whether the system runs the encumbrance
rollover in proof or final mode. When you run the encumbrance rollover in
proof mode, the system does not update the status or any applicable tables.
When you run the encumbrance rollover in final mode, the system updates the
status and all applicable tables. Whether you run the encumbrance rollover in
proof or final mode, you can print journal entries and errors. Valid values are:
If you set up budgets for jobs, projects, departments, and so forth, you might
want to verify that the purchase amounts you incur do not exceed these
budgets. You can compare budget amounts to actual amounts you have spent
and to the amounts that you are committed to spend in the future.
To work with budgets, you must enter purchase order detail lines by account
numbers.
You use budget checking to identify the detail line amounts that exceed the
budget for a specific job, project, department, and so forth.
Each time you enter or change a purchase order, the system checks the account
number for each detail line and compares it to the available budget for the
account. If the detail line amount exceeds the available budget amount, the
system places the entire order on hold. You can set a budgeting processing
option in the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) to provide a warning
message that a detail line amount exceeds the available budget amount, but the
system will still place the order on hold. The system allows no further
processing of the order until you remove the budget hold. You must set up
budget hold codes for each business unit.
You use the processing options on the Budgeting tab from Order Entry to
activate budget checking and to specify information such as:
The budget ledger from which the system retrieves budget amounts
The hold code the system assigns to detail lines that exceed budget
The percentage by which a detail line can exceed budget before being
put on hold
The method by which the system determines budget amounts
Do not use the JA ledger type for budgeting. The system reserves this ledger
type for Job Cost.
When you create an account, you assign each account number a level of detail.
The range for the level of detail is one through nine, with one being the highest
and nine being the lowest.
You enter the level of detail in the processing option for the system to search
for the available budget. This processing option also controls how the system
accumulates the actual and committed and encumbered amounts for the
account.
1. If the account number that you enter on the order is the same as the
budget account number, and the level of detail of this account is equal to
the level of detail you enter in the processing option, the system does not
roll up the budget. The system calculates the available budget on the
account.
If the detail line exceeds the available budget then the system applies a
budget hold to the line.
2. If the account number that you enter on the order does not have the
same level of detail that you enter in the processing option, and the level
of detail of the account is lower than the level of detail that you enter in
the processing option, the system retrieves the budget from the account
whose level of detail matches the level of detail that you enter in the
processing option.
the level of detail processing option and continues to the lowest level of
detail.
The system then searches lower levels of detail in the chart of accounts to
locate the first account number with a level of detail equal to the level of
detail you specify in the processing option. This account number must be
below the level of detail of the account number on the order.
If the detail line exceeds the available budget, the system applies a
budget hold to the line.
Budget Totaling
Use this processing option to specify how the system calculates the budget total.
The system uses the following fields in the Account Balances table (F0902) for
budgeting:
Use 1 in this processing option for job cost accounting. The system adds the
amounts in the above fields. The total of these fields is the budget amount the
system uses for budget checking.
Note: The original budget cannot be spread when you enter a 1 in the
processing option.
Use 2 in this processing option for Public Sector and NotĆForĆProfit entities. Use
this method when the system spreads an original budget to the net posting
fields. The system calculates the total budget from the net posting fields to use
in budget checking.
Use 3 in this processing option for Profit entities. You enter changes to the
budget in the net posting fields. The system adds the net posting fields and the
original budget to determine the budget amount to use in budget checking. Use
this method when an original budget is not spread to the net posting fields.
Use this processing option to specify how the system calculates the available
budget.
When you enter a 1 in this processing option, the system reviews the fiscal date
pattern for the company and determines the current general ledger period. The
system then adds the sum of the period budget amounts from period one
through the current period. The system uses this amount as the original budget
for budget checking.
Enter 1 in this processing option only when you enter 2 in the budget totaling
processing option.

Field Explanation
Ledger Type 1 A user defined code (09/LT) that specifies the type of
ledger, such as AA (Actual Amounts), BA (Budget
Amount), or AU (Actual Units). You can set up multiple,
concurrent accounting ledgers within the general ledger
to establish an audit trail for all transactions.
Thru Date 1 A date that identifies the financial period to which the
transaction will be posted. The Fiscal Date Patterns table
for general accounting specifies the date range for each
financial period. You can have up to 14 periods.
Generally, period 14 is used for audit adjustments.
Level Of Detail A number that summarizes and classifies accounts in the
general ledger. You can have up to 9 levels of detail.
Level 9 is the most detailed and Level 1 is the least
detailed. Levels 1 and 2 are reserved for company and
business unit totals. When you are using the Job Cost
system, Levels 8 and 9 are reserved for job cost posting
accounts. Example:
3 Assets, Liabilities, Revenues, Expenses
4 Current Assets, Fixed Assets, Current Liabilities,
and so on
5 Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Salaries,
and so on
6 Petty Cash, Cash in Banks, Trade Accounts
Receivable, and so on
7 Petty Cash - Dallas, Petty Cash - Houston, and
so on

You can place an order on hold to prevent it from being processed. You might
place an order on hold for reasons such as the following:
You have yet to settle prices and terms with the supplier.
You are not sure if you want to use the supplier.
The supplier's minimum order amount is not being met.
The order exceeds the budget.
You cannot print or receive orders on hold. You must release the hold to
continue processing the order. To release an order on hold, you must have the
correct password.
When you place an order on hold you prevent it from being processed. You
might want to put an order on hold if you have yet to reach price negotiations
with the supplier or if the order exceeds budget.
There are two types of order holds: budget holds and regular holds. Budget
holds are for orders that exceed the budget. Regular holds are for all other
holds.
See Also
- Set up hold codes and assign a responsible individual to each hold code.
See Setting Up Order Hold Information.
To have the system process an order that has been put on hold, you must
release the hold. You can review all holds on a certain order and choose the
holds that you want to release.
For budget holds, you can review the budget before releasing budget hold
orders by accessing Budget Comparison from the Release Held Orders (Budget)
program. Note that you cannot use Release Held Orders (Budget) to release an
order on budget hold if the order is assigned an approval route. In that case,
you must use the Approval Review program to approve and release the order.

You can assign dates to log information so that the system issues an outstanding
submittal warning when you try to make payments before you receive all of the
submittals. For example, if you require a subcontractor or supplier to submit
insurance information to you before you make a payment against the order, you
can specify for outstanding submittal warnings. The system then warns you if
you try to make a payment before you receive the information.
You can enter new log information into a contract, or you can copy log
information into an order from a model log. A model log is a set of standard log
information that you can copy into your contracts and then modify for each
contract.
After you enter log information, you can enter descriptive text for each line item
within the log. You can also delete any of the log information for a contract.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Enter Purchase
Orders.
Depending on the menu selection you choose, one of the following forms
displays:
1. On Work With Order Headers or Work With Order Details, click Find to
locate the order for which you want to enter log information.
2. Click on the order and choose Log Details from the Row menu.
Submittal ID Code
Supplier
Note: The outstanding log warning is set up in the Pay Effect field. For an
outstanding log warning to occur, the status of the log must be N, the Pay
Effect field must be set to Y, and the required and expired dates must be
earlier than the system date. The system also checks for all log types in the
Outstanding Log Types (43/OL) user defined code table.
Field Explanation
Status Code A code that specifies whether the requirements for the log
line have been satisfied. Valid values are:
Y Yes, the requirements have been satisfied.
N No, the requirements have not been satisfied.
Blank The requirements have not been satisfied, the
log line is not yet in effect, or no status is
required.
Explanation -Remark- A name or remark that describes an element in the J.D.
Edwards systems.
Job Number An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by
business units to track equipment by responsible
department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries
if you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
Change Request The number assigned to the change request for a
particular job.
Issue Date The date that the log entry was issued. For example, for a
submittal requirement for an insurance cerificate, the
effective date for the insurance policy would be entered in
the Issue Date field.
Field Explanation
Expired Date The expiration date of the log entry. For example, in the
case of a submittal requirement for an insurance
certificate,, the termination date for the policy would be
entered in the Expired Date field. The termination date
would then be used by the Submittal Status Update
program to update the status field. If the Expired Date is
earlier than the date that you run the program, the system
sets the status to N for the log entry.
Required Date The date that the log entry needs to be received. For
example, consider a submittal requirement for an
insurance certificate. The date that a copy of the policy or
certified proof of coverage document is to be received
would be entered in the Required Date field.
Pay Effect A code that indicates whether the submittal requirement is
of such importance that regular payments to the
subcontractor can be suspended if the submittal
requirement is not properly satisfied. This code is
normally used in conjunction with submittal log entries.
Valid values are:
Y Issue warning messages if log requirements are
not met.
N Do not issue warning messages.
If Pay Effect is set to Y, various warning messages can
appear during progress payment entry when outstanding
log requirements exist.
You can run the Log Report/Update to update the value of the Pay Effect field in
the Log Details table (F4303). This report displays the following information:
When you run the report, you can specify whether to update the status of
expired logs to not complete," which creates an outstanding submittal warning.
You can review the information on the report to determine whether to post
payments against contracts that have expired logs.
You can copy log information into a contract from a model log. A model log is a
set of standard log information that you can copy into your orders and then
modify for each order. This feature saves you time when you have log
information that is duplicated across many orders.
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Order Log

Printing Individually
You can print orders individually so you can review them before sending them
to the appropriate suppliers. If you have set the processing options in Order
Entry for the system to store purchase order information for Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI), you can send the orders to your suppliers using the
Electronic Commerce system.
You can have the system print three types of messages on an order:
Print messages
Attachments
Global messages
You create print messages using the Print Messages Revisions form, where you
also specify whether each message prints at the top or bottom of an order, or
before or after each detail line. After you create a print message, you can assign
it to an order or detail line during order entry.
You use processing options in Order Entry to specify whether attachments print.
You can assign an attachment to an order or to detail lines during order entry.
You also use processing options to specify whether global messages print.
Global messages always print at the top of orders.
Printing orders is usually a step in the sequence of processing orders. You set
up these steps in Order Activity Rules. Once you print an order, you can have
the system move the order to the next step in the process, or you can leave the
order where it is so that you can print it again. You use processing options in
Order Entry to specify whether the system updates status codes for orders after
they print.
You might want to print orders twice, once to review the orders and again to
update status codes. You can access the following two versions of the print
program through the processing options for Order Entry:
You might want to use one version to review orders and the other to update
status codes for orders.
If you print an order that is on hold, the system prints a blank page.

Doc Co A number that, with the document number, document
type and G/L date, uniquely identifies an original
document, such as invoice, voucher, or journal entry.
If you use the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year
feature, the Automatic Next Numbers program (X0010)
uses the document company to retrieve the correct next
number for that company.
If two or more original documents have the same
document number and document type, you can use the
document company to locate the desired document.
Doc Type A user defined code (00/DT) that identifies the origin and
purpose of the transaction.
J.D. Edwards reserves several prefixes for document
types, such as vouchers, invoices, receipts, and
timesheets.
The reserved document type prefixes for codes are:
P Accounts payable documents
R Accounts receivable documents
T Time and Pay documents
I Inventory documents
O Ordering document types
The system creates offsetting entries as appropriate for
these document types when you post batches.
Invoice Date The date of the invoice. This can be either the date of the
supplier's invoice to you or the date of your invoice to a
customer.
Field Explanation
G/L Date A date that identifies the financial period to which the
transaction will be posted. The Fiscal Date Patterns table
for general accounting specifies the date range for each
financial period. You can have up to 14 periods.
Generally, period 14 is used for audit adjustments.
Due Date The date the net payment is due (accounts receivable). In
accounts payable, this date is either the discount date or
the net due date, depending on what you entered or how
you set up your payment terms.
If you leave this field blank during invoice entry or
voucher entry, the system returns an error.
Gross Amount The gross amount of an invoice or voucher pay item,
including tax. The total amount for a voucher or invoice
is the accumulation of the open pay items. The
accounting distributions must balance to the gross
amount less recoverable VAT.

You can review a history of changes to order detail lines when you print the
Journal report. This report lists original detail line information and changes that
have been made to the quantity or extended amount on each detail line.
Information for this report comes from the Purchasing Ledger table (F43199).
This report is applicable only if you set up order activity rules to create ledger
records.
You can use either an informal or formal receiving process to acquire the goods
and services you requested on a purchase order.
You must use the formal receiving process if you purchase items to inventory.
You can use the informal or formal receiving process if you purchase items or
services to the general ledger.
When you use an informal receiving process, the system creates a single record
in the Purchase Order Receiver table (F43121) when you create a voucher. The
system also creates a liability for the purchase at that time.
A formal receiving process is one in which you enter details of a receipt before
you create vouchers. You create vouchers based on the receipt information. For
example, if you enter a receipt for 50 pens, you must create a voucher for 50
pens.
To accurately account for the receipt of goods, your formal receiving process is
likely to include:
You can use purchase receivers in your formal receipt process to manually
record the receipt of goods upon delivery. You can then enter that information
into the system.
Receiver
Item A 10 x .25 = $2.50
Enter Receipts
You can eliminate the use of purchase receivers if you use terminals to enter
receipt information upon delivery or if you use copies of original purchase
orders as receiving forms.
When you use a formal receiving process, the system creates a receipt record in
the Purchase Order Receiver table (F43121) when you enter a receipt. The
system also creates a liability for the purchase at that time. When you create a
voucher, the system creates another record in the Purchase Order Receiver
table.
- Entering receipts
Price information

CrossĆreference numbers
Foreign currency amounts
You can set up order activity rules to print purchase receivers as a step in the
purchase order process. After you print a purchase receiver, you can have the
system advance the order to the next step in the purchasing process. You can
also have the system leave the order at its current status. To advance an order,
the system updates the status codes for detail lines, provided that you have set
the processing options for Purchase Receiver Print to allow the system to
update the status codes.

From the Purchasing Reports menu (G43A111), choose Print Purchase Receiver.
When you print purchase receivers in batch mode, you might have to print a
second purchase receiver for some orders. For example, you might receive a
partial order, in which case you must print a second receiver to record the
remaining balance of the order. You can enter specific purchase orders for
which to print purchase receivers using the Print Purchase Receiver program.
After you receive the goods on a purchase order, you must record the details of
the receipt. The system uses receipt information to:
When you receive goods, you must verify that the details of the receipt
correspond to the information on the purchase order. You must verify item
numbers, quantities, units of measure, costs, and so forth. If the receipt details
differ from those on the purchase order, you must adjust the purchase order
detail lines to reflect the receipt. For example, if landed costs, such as delivery
charges or import taxes, apply to the item's purchase price, you enter these
costs for the order during the receipt process.
When a direct ship order is created in Sales Order Management, the system
automatically creates a corresponding purchase order. For a direct ship order,
you must enter a receipt to update the corresponding sales order with the new
status information. However, if you enter a partial receipt, the system splits the
corresponding order detail lines on the direct ship sales order and updates only
the order detail line that was received.
Each time you cancel or reverse a receipt, the system updates the same tables
that were updated when you entered the original receipt.
- Reverse a receipt
You must enter receipt information to verify the receipt of goods or services on
a purchase order. You must verify the quantity, cost, and so forth for each order
you receive.
If you are entering a receipt that has many purchase order detail lines, you
might want to enter the information using the network. If you are entering a
receipt for a kit, you can enter receipt information for the components only.
You cannot enter a receipt for the parent item.
To enter a receipt, you must first locate the open purchase order detail lines
that correspond to the receipt. An open detail line contains items that have not
yet been received. The system retrieves all open detail lines for the item
number, purchase order number, or account number you specify. You can set
the processing options for Purchase Order Receipts to display cost information
and to determine whether you can change costs for the order detail lines.
You can review amounts in both foreign and domestic currencies using the
Foreign field on the Purchase Order Receipts form. If you change costs for an
order line, ensure that you do so in the appropriate currency mode.
You can use processing options for Purchase Order Receipts to specify how to
use the exchange rate. You can:
When you receive orders in a foreign currency, the system creates journal
entries for two different ledgers:
If the detail lines on a purchase order differ from the details of the actual
receipt, you must adjust the purchase order detail lines to reflect the receipt. For
example, if the order quantity on a detail line is 20 but you receive a quantity of
10, you must change the quantity on the detail line to 10. You specify whether
to close the remaining balance on the line or to keep it open.
If you receive an order in different units of measure, you must perform a partial
receipt for each unit of measure. For example, you might receive a portion of
an order in crates and the remaining portion in boxes. You must perform a
partial receipt for the crates and another receipt for the remaining boxes.
- In the processing options for the Purchase Order Entry program, ensure
that the processing option in the Defaults section for line sequencing is
set to 0. If this processing option is set to 1, you will have difficulty
receiving change orders.

From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Receipts Matching
and Posting. On the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose
Review G/L Receipts Journal.
When you enter a formal receipt, the system creates journal entries that:
The system retrieves account numbers for which to create journal entries from
automatic accounting instructions (AAIs). A separate AAI table exists for
inventory accounts and received not vouchered accounts. The system retrieves
an account number from each table based on the company, business unit, and
G/L category code that applies to a receipt.
For example, you enter a receipt for 100.00 worth of inventory items. The items
have a G/L category code of IN20 and were purchased for business unit A in
company 100. When you enter a receipt, the system retrieves the inventory
account number and the received not vouchered account number for company
100, business unit A, and the IN20 G/L category code to create the following
journal entries:
Received Not
Inventory Vouchered
100 100
If you enter purchase order detail lines by account number, the system charges
each receipt against the account number on the detail line. The system retrieves
a received not vouchered account number from AAIs.
If tax is applicable to a receipt, the system also creates tax accrual entries. If you
apply landed costs at the time of receipt, the system creates entries for accrued
landed costs.
You might use a standard cost method to determine the inventory cost for an
item. The standard cost for an item remains consistent unless you manually
change it. If a variance exists between the standard cost and the price at which
you purchase an item, the system creates journal entries to account for the
variance. You specify variance accounts in automatic accounting instructions.
For example, if you enter a formal receipt for 80.00 worth of inventory items
and the standard cost for the items is 100.00, the system creates the following
journal entries:
100 80 20
You use processing options to specify whether the system creates separate
journal entries for each detail line or summarizes the entries for all lines.

for each detail line that pertains to a supplier:
Before you can pay a supplier for the goods and services you purchase, you
must create a voucher that:
You can create a voucher based on an invoice. This method is called the
threeĆway voucher match. You use this method to verify that invoice
information corresponds to your receipt records. For example, if a supplier bills
you for 100.00 worth of goods, you must verify that you received 100.00 worth
of goods.
If you do not record receipt information, you can use the twoĆway voucher
match. You use this method to verify that invoice information corresponds to
purchase order detail lines and then you create vouchers.
In batch mode using only receipt information. You use this method when
you have an agreement with your suppliers that your receipt records are
sufficient for creating vouchers and that invoices are unnecessary. For
example, if receipt records indicate that you received 100.00 worth of
goods, the system creates a voucher for 100.00 worth of goods.
For withholding a portion of the gross payment as retainage. Retainage is
a percentage of a committed amount that is held until a specified date
after the order is complete. For example, if you create a voucher for
100.00 with retainage of 10 percent, the actual payment will be 90.00,
with 10.00 held as retainage. You release retainage by entering a payment
voucher for the amount that you want to release.
To make progress payments on an order.
For units if you are paying against a unit based order. In a unit based
order, you specify payments based on the number of units completed.
You should enter either the number of units for which you are paying or
the gross payment. The system then calculates the other value based on
the price per unit.
You might want to review the receipt records for which you must create
vouchers. After you locate this information, you can enter landed costs (costs in
excess of an item's purchase price) for the items you have received.
If you receive an invoice before you take receipt of the goods and services, you
can create a preliminary voucher to account for the billing amount. After you
receive the goods or services on the invoice, you can redistribute the amounts
to the appropriate general ledger accounts.
- Creating vouchers
See Also
You can review open receipts, which are receipts for which you have not yet
created vouchers. You might do this to determine the receipts for which you
must create vouchers. You can review the amount and quantity open for each
receipt.
If you need to check an order to see whether any vouchers have already been
created, you can use the Vouchered option on the Work with Purchase Receipts
form to search for order detail lines for which a voucher has been created. The
system displays the order detail lines with the quantity and amount that are
entered on the voucher.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Open Receipts

Field Explanation
Quantity Not Vouchered The original quantity for the order detail line, plus or
minus any changes to that quantity, minus all quantities
shipped, received, and vouchered to date.
Amount Not Vouchered The amount of the order, invoice, or voucher that is still
unpaid or open. When you enter a document (for
example, an order, invoice, or voucher), the open amount
is the original amount of that document. If you change
the original amount, the open amount is reduced by the
net change. For example, payments, shipments, or
receipts against a document result in a reduction of the
open balance.

When you purchase items, it is not uncommon to pay extra costs for harbor
fees, broker fees, and so on. These costs are called landed costs." You can
enter landed costs for items during the receipt process or as a standĆalone
process.
You can enter landed costs when you enter receipt information. You might
choose this process if landed cost information is available to you when you
receive items.
To enter landed costs during the receipt process, you must set the Landed Cost
processing option in Purchase Order Receipts (P4312) to apply landed costs.
After you enter a receipt, the system displays the landed costs that apply to the
items so that you can review or change the costs.
You also can set the Landed Cost processing option in Purchase Order Receipts
(P4312) to automatically apply the landed cost rule without displaying the
Landed Cost Selection form.
You might choose to enter landed costs as a standĆalone process if landed cost
information is not available to you upon receipt of an item. You can access
StandĆAlone Landed Cost from the Receipts Matching and Posting menu.
StandĆAlone Landed Cost and Open Receipt by Supplier are identical forms. You
set processing options to use StandĆAlone Landed Cost to apply landed costs to
open receipts.
Landed costs are only applicable to items for which you record receipt
information. When you enter landed costs for items, the system only allows you
to work with the landed costs that have been set up and assigned to the item.
For each item you receive, you can review, change, and enter the landed costs
assigned to the item.
After you enter landed costs for items, the system might create a separate
landed cost detail line for which you must create a voucher. Whether you must
create this additional voucher depends on how you set up each landed cost.
You can review landed cost detail lines on the Voucher Match form.
When you enter landed costs, you also can run the Copy Manufacturing Cost
Components program (R41891), which copies simulated or frozen cost
information from the Cost Component table (F30026) to the Item Cost
Components table (F41291).
- Define landed costs and landed costs rules on Landed Cost Revisions.
- Verify that processing options are set appropriately for the program in
which you enter landed costs.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose StandĆAlone
Landed Cost.
1. On Work With Purchase Receipts, locate the receipt record for which to
enter landed costs.
2. Click on the receipt record and choose Apply Landed Cost from the Row
menu.

You must create a voucher before you can pay a supplier for purchases. You
usually create a voucher for the billing amount on an invoice. ThreeĆway
voucher match and twoĆway voucher match are the two methods of creating a
voucher.
Using the threeĆway voucher match method, you verify that a billing amount is
correct by matching it to your receipt records. For example, if a supplier bills
you for 10.00 worth of items, you can check your receipt records to see that
you received 10.00 worth of items.

Using the twoĆway voucher match method, you create a voucher from the order
detail line. For example, you can make progress payments on a contract or an
order.
Purchase Orders

Acme Supply
Company
You can create a voucher for units if you are paying against a unit based order.
In a unit based order, you specify progress payments based on the number of
units completed. You should enter either the number of units for which you are
paying or the gross payment. The system then calculates the remaining value
based on the price per unit.
For example, if you enter a voucher for 1000 square feet of drywall at a cost of
0.25 per square foot, the system calculates your gross payment as 250.00.
Conversely, if you enter a voucher for 250.00 with a unit price of 0.25, the
system calculates the number of units as 1000.
If you have multicurrency turned on, the system calculates the total values
based on the currency that you select. For example, if you enter a voucher for
1000 units at 0.25 per unit, the system calculates the total payment in the
currency you specify.
If you are entering a voucher for a kit, you can enter voucher information at the
component level only.
You might need to reverse a voucher. For example, you might have to return
the items for which you created the voucher.
You also might need to make a correction to an invoice adjustment that reflects
a price change to an item or an error on a previous invoice. To make the
change, you must create a new voucher that reflects the adjustment to the
previous voucher.
- Review all processing options for Standard Voucher Entry and Voucher
Match and set the voucher match version.

See Entering Standard Vouchers in the Accounts Payable Guide for more
information on Standard Voucher Entry and the associated processing
options
For the three way voucher match (formal receipt process), you create a voucher
from an invoice. You must locate the receipt records that correspond to the
invoice and match them to the invoice. For example, if a supplier has sent you
an invoice for 100.00, you must locate and match the receipt records for the
100.00 worth of items that correspond to the invoice. Note that you can choose
multiple receipt records to match on a single voucher.
The total amount of the receipt records you match to an invoice must equal the
amount on the invoice. For example, if two receipt records correspond to an
invoice and each receipt record is for 200.00, the invoice amount must equal
400.00 to perform a match.
If an invoice reflects a partial order, you can change the quantity or amount of a
receipt record to match the invoice. The system leaves the remaining balance of
the receipt record open. For example, if a receipt record reflects 100 items but
the invoice amount reflects 50 items, you can change the receipt record quantity
to 50. You can create a voucher for the remaining 50 items at a later time.
If you match receipt records to invoices to create vouchers, you cannot cancel a
receipt record. Instead, you must reverse the voucher in Match Voucher to
Open Receipt and then reverse the receipt in Open Receipts by Supplier.
The system creates a voucher interactively when you match receipt records to
an invoice.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Match
Voucher to Open Receipt.
If you use Supplier Ledger Inquiry, you must set processing options to perform
voucher match processing.
You can have the system enter the gross amount and tax for you based
on the detail lines or receipt records you choose if you match to the
invoice.
The system returns the lines you selected to the Voucher Match form.
If you are working with receipt records, you cannot increase the receipt
quantity to reflect an invoice. You must first receive the additional
quantity using the Enter Receipts program. If you increase the amount for
a receipt record, the system creates journal entries to account for the
variance.
8. Click OK.
9. To review the resulting voucher, return to Supplier Ledger Inquiry,
choose the voucher, and click Select.
For the twoĆway voucher match (informal receipt process), you do not record
receipt information. You must match order detail lines to invoices to create
vouchers. For example, if a supplier sends you an invoice for 100.00, you must
locate and match the order detail lines that contain the corresponding 100.00
worth of items. Note that you can choose multiple order detail lines to match
on a single voucher.
When you add landed costs to receipt records prior to the voucher match
process, the system might create separate detail lines for the landed costs
depending on how you have set up the costs. To create a voucher for the
landed costs, locate and match the landed cost line to the appropriate invoice.
You might receive an invoice for goods or services that were never entered on a
purchase order. You can set processing options for the Voucher Match program
to allow you to enter new purchase order detail lines to match an invoice. The
processing options allow you to indicate whether the system adds new lines to
an existing purchase order (you specify the order number, order company,
order type, and order change number) or creates a new purchase order. The
processing options also allow you to indicate the line type and status codes for
new detail lines.
You must purchase against account numbers to enter new detail lines during the
voucher match process. You cannot add stockĆbased order detail lines during
the voucher match process.
When you try to create a voucher against an order that has a payment hold, any
of the following might occur:
The system does not allow you to enter a payment voucher, which
indicates that the vendor hold code for the supplier is set to not allow
any payments.
You cannot enter payment vouchers until the hold is removed.
You can also enter a specific tax amount for each receipt record on the Voucher
Match form. If you enter a tax amount, you must also enter the tax rate/area
and an explanation for the tax.
To account for variances in the exchange rate, you can set up automatic
accounting instructions. If you enter a new exchange rate during the voucher
match process, the system creates journal entries to account for the variance
between costs incurred at the old exchange rate and costs incurred at the new
exchange rate.
If you match receipt records to invoices to create vouchers, you cannot cancel a
receipt record. Instead, you must reverse the voucher in Match Voucher to
Open Receipt and then reverse the receipt in Open Receipts by Supplier.
If you match receipt records to invoices to create vouchers, you cannot cancel a
receipt record. Instead, you must reverse the quantity in the Enter Receipts
program.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Match
Voucher to Open Receipt.
If you use Supplier Ledger Inquiry, you must set processing options to
perform voucher match processing.
You can have the system enter the gross amount and tax for you based
on the detail lines you choose if you match to the invoice.
The system returns the lines that you selected to the Voucher Match form.
The option that you enter determines whether the system leaves the
balance of the line open (option 1), closes the balance (option 7), or
cancels the line entirely (option 9).

set in Voucher Message processing options.
These processing options allow you to process matched vouchers from the
procurement system rather than standard vouchers.
1. Match Processing
Use this processing option to change the default voucher type from standard
vouchers to matched vouchers. If you choose to run the voucher match
program, you can choose either the threeĆway voucher match or the twoĆway
voucher match.
The Voucher Match Program (P4314) does not access the MBF processing
options (P0400047). Therefore, the MBF processing option settings do not affect
Voucher Match processing.
You might want to reverse a voucher. For example, you reverse a voucher
when you return the items for which you created the voucher. If the voucher
has been posted, the system reverses the corresponding journal entries. If the
voucher has not been posted, the system deletes the entries.
NOTE: Do not delete a voucher in the Accounts Payable system if you created
the voucher in the Procurement system. The voucher should be deleted in the
Procurement system.
Use this processing option to accept the default voucher match version, or enter
a specific version number for the Voucher Match program (P4314) in the
Procurement system. You must complete this processing option if you enter 1 in
the Match Processing processing option.
Multi-Company Tab
These processing options allow you to process vouchers for multiple companies
rather than standard vouchers.
Note: The manual payment function is not available for this type of voucher
processing.
Multi-Vouchers Tab
These processing options allow you to enter multiple vouchers rather than
standard vouchers.
1. Multiple Vouchers
Use this processing option to allow you to quickly enter multiple vouchers for
one or more suppliers. Unlike the standard voucher entry method, which is a
twoĆstep process, the multiple voucher entry methods are a singleĆstep process.
Note: You can use the multipleĆvoucher entry methods to add vouchers only.
To change, delete, or void them, you must use the standard voucher entry
method. Also, the manual payment function is not available for this type of
voucher processing. For additional information, as well as other limitations to
multiple voucher entry, consult the documentation or online help for Entering
Multiple Vouchers.
Logging Tab
These processing options allow you to enter logged vouchers rather than
standard vouchers.
1. Voucher Logging
Use this processing option to specify whether to enter a voucher before you
assign it a G/L account. At a later time, you can redistribute the voucher to the
correct G/L accounts.
You can specify a default G/L account for preliminary distribution, as well as a
suspense trade account for logged vouchers. To do this, use AAI PP
(Preliminary Distribution for Voucher Logging) and PQ (Suspense A/P Trade
Account for Voucher Logging). To use AAI PQ, select the Use Suspense Account
option in the Company Names and Numbers program (P0010). From the
Organization & Account menu (G09411), choose Company Names and
Numbers.
When you enter 1 in this processing option, the program adds a selected
Logged option to the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form, and the program ignores
the selections you make for Prepayments.
Alternatively, from the Other Voucher Entry Methods menu (G04111), choose
Voucher Logging Entry.
order for the system to process logged vouchers. If the Voucher Logging
processing options for A/P Standard Voucher Entry and Voucher Entry MBF are
set for logged vouchers, the system ignores the processing options on the
Prepayments tab of A/P Standard Voucher Entry (P0411).
2. G/L Date
Use this processing option to specify whether to use the system date as the
default G/L date for a logged voucher.
NOTE: If you enter 1 in this processing option, you cannot override the date,
since you have designated the system date.
Prepayments Tab
These processing options specify how the program processes prepayments. Use
prepayments to pay for goods or services before you receive an invoice.
Use this processing option to set up automatic accounting instructions (AAI item
PCxxxx) to predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for accounts.
Enter the code for the G/L offset account that the system uses to create
prepayment pay items. You must enter a value to allow automatic creation of
prepayment pay items. If you leave this field blank (default), the system uses
the Standard Voucher Entry program.
NOTE: If WorldSoftware and OneWorld software coexist, do not use code 9999.
In WorldSoftware this code is reserved for the post program and indicates that
offset accounts should not be created.
Use this processing option to specify the G/L distribution account that the
system uses for creating prepayment pay items.
You can use one of the following formats for account numbers:
The first character of the account indicates the format of the account number.
You define the account format in the General Accounting Constants program
(P000909).
NOTE: Use this processing option only if you enter a valid value in the G/L
Offset Account processing option.
Use this processing option to enter the default pay status code for prepayments.
The pay status code is a user defined code (00/PS) that indicates the current
payment status of a voucher.
NOTES:
The Accounts Payable system does not print payments for any codes
other than the codes provided in this valid codes list.
Use this processing option only if you enter a valid value in the G/L
Offset Account processing option.
If WorldSoftware and OneWorld software coexists, and you leave this
processing option blank, the prepayment status of H for negative
prepayment pay items is the default value.
4. Number of Days
Use this processing option to enter the number of days to add to the due date
of the negative prepayment pay items. This processing option is valid only if
WorldSoftware and OneWorld software coexists.
5. Tax Area
Use this processing option to direct the program to show the Prepayment Tax
form for prepayments. You use the Prepayment Tax form to assign tax codes to
negative pay items that are different from the tax codes for the corresponding
positive pay items. This is necessary, for example, when tax laws treat positive
pay items and negative pay items differently. Otherwise, the system
automatically generates a negative pay item for each positive pay item,
assigning each negative pay item the same tax area code and tax explanation
code as its corresponding positive pay item.
If you specify a tax area code and tax explanation code on the Prepayment Tax
form, the new codes appear on all negative pay items, overriding the original
tax area codes and tax explanation codes on the positive pay items. For
example, if there are several positive pay items, each of which specify a
different tax area code and tax explanation code, but you specify a particular
tax area code and tax explanation code on the Prepayment Tax form, the
system assigns the tax area code and tax explanation code you specify on the
Prepayment Tax form to all negative pay items.
NOTE: Use this processing option only if you enter a valid value in the G/L
Offset Account processing option.
6. Tax Values
Use this processing option to enter a default code that identifies a tax or
geographic area that has common tax rates and tax distribution. The system
uses this code to properly calculate the tax amount. The tax rate/area must be
defined to include the tax authorities (for example, state, county, city, rapid
transit district, or province), and their rates. To be valid, a code must be set up
in the Tax Rate/Area table (F4008).
Typically, U.S. sales and use taxes require multiple tax authorities per tax
rate/area, whereas VAT requires only one tax.
NOTE: Use this processing option only if you enter 1 in the Tax Area processing
option.
Use this processing option to set up a default tax explanation code for
transactions with a certain supplier. This tax explanation code is a user defined
code (00/EX) that controls how a tax is assessed and distributed to the general
ledger revenue and expense accounts.
NOTE: Use this processing option only if you enter 1 in the Tax Area processing
option.
This processing option overrides the default Master Business Function version.
NOTE: Only persons responsible for systemĆwide setup should change this
version number.
Process Tab
This processing option restricts changes to vouchers when you use Supplier
Ledger Inquiry.
Use this processing option to specify whether the system allows changes to
vouchers after you select them from the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form. If you
leave this field blank, the system allows you to make changes to existing
vouchers that you select from the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form. If you enter 1
in this field, the system restricts you to inquiries of existing vouchers that you
select from the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form.
Defaults Tab
These processing options define the default information that the system uses
during Voucher Match (P4314).
Use this processing option to identify the type of document. This user defined
code (00/DT) also indicates the origin of the transaction. J.D. Edwards has
reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries
are not selfĆbalancing when you originally enter them.) The following prefixes
for document types are defined by J.D. Edwards, and J.D. Edwards recommends
that you do not change them:
You must enter a value that has been set up in user defined code table 00/DT.

that you do not change them:
You must enter a value that has been set up in user defined code table 00/DT.
Display Tab
These processing options control whether the system displays certain types of
voucher match information, such as the approver number and reporting code.
1. Approver Number
Use this processing option to specify whether to display the approver number
code.
2. Reporting Code
Use this processing option to specify whether the column for Reporting Code
007 appears in the detail area on Voucher Match.
3. Account Number
Use this processing option to specify how the system displays the account
number.
4. Business Unit
Use this processing option to specify the text that describes the Business Unit
field (alias MCU). This processing option affects only the header area on
Voucher Match, not the detail area.
Process Tab
These processing options control the values that the system uses for the
following information and processes:
Use this processing option to specify the Last Status code in the range of status
codes for order detail lines.
Use this processing option to specify the Next Status code in the range of status
codes for order detail lines.
Use this processing option to specify a code that represents the next status that
the order will move to after a partial payment.
When a partial payment exists, the system updates the status in the Purchase
Order Detail table for a two-way match and updates the status in the Receiver
table (F43121) for a three-way match so that the statuses in those two tables
match the status that you enter for this processing option.
Use this processing option to specify the next status that the order moves to
after the system cancels a voucher.
When a voucher is cancelled, the system updates the status in the Purchase
Order Detail table for a two-way match and updates the status in the Purchase
Order Receiver table (F43121) for a three-way match to ensure that the statuses
match the status that you enter for this processing option.
5. Quantity/Amount
Use this processing option to indicate whether you want to manually enter the
quantity information or whether the system automatically enters quantity
information.
6. Tolerance
Use this processing option to indicate whether the system checks to determine
if a detail line's quantity and amount exceed the tolerance percentage. To check
your tolerance, you can access the Tolerance Setup program (P4322).
You can enter a valid pay status or any of the following values:
7. Supplier Analysis
Use this processing option to indicate whether you want the system to capture
supplier analysis information.
Use this processing option to indicate whether the system allows multiple
orders per voucher.
9. Branch/Plant Retrieval
Use this processing option to specify which business unit the system uses to
generate the G/L bank account and the A/P trade account. Note that the system
uses the business unit that you specify for the voucher.
1 Retrieve the business unit from the purchase order header record.
2 Retrieve the business unit from the address book.
Blank Retrieve the business unit for each detail line.
Use this processing option to allow cost updates to the sales order when the
order is a direct ship order.
1 Update cost.
Blank Do not update cost.
Summarization Tab
1. A/P
2. G/L
Use this processing option to specify whether to summarize G/L entries. If you
are using commitments, leave this option blank and do not summarize G/L
entries. Valid values are:
These processing options control how new order detail lines are added to a
purchase order when you are creating a voucher.
Use this processing option to indicate whether you want the system to
automatically create purchase order detail lines for lines that you add to a
voucher.
1 Do not create corresponding purchase order detail lines when new lines
are added to a voucher.
2 Create corresponding purchase order detail lines when new lines are
added to a voucher.
Blank You cannot add lines to a voucher.
2. Line Type
Use this processing option to specify how the system processes lines on a
transaction. The line type affects the systems with which the transaction
interfaces (General Ledger, Job Cost, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
and Inventory Management). The line type also specifies the conditions for
including a line on reports and in calculations. Some examples of valid values,
which have been defined on the Line Type Constants Revisions form (P40205),
are:
This processing option applies only if you enter a value of 2 in the Order Line
Entry processing option, which also is on the New Order Lines tab.
You can only use a line type that has an inventory interface of A, which
validates the account number.
Use this processing option to indicate the beginning status, which is the first
step in the order process. You must use a user defined code (40/AT) that has
been set up on the Order Activity Rules form for the order type and the line
type that you are using.
Use this processing option to indicate the next step in the order process. You
must use a user defined code (40/AT) that has been set up on the Order Activity
Rules form for the order type and the line type that you are using. The override
status is another allowed step in the process.
Retainage Tab
These processing options control whether the system uses the retainage
percentage or the retainage amount as a default value in the Voucher Match
program (P4314), and also whether the system applies taxes to the retained or
vouchered amount.
1. Retainage Default
2. Retainage Taxes
Use this processing option to specify whether to apply taxes to the retained
amount that you are releasing only or to the vouchered amount.
1 Apply taxes to the retained amount that you are releasing. For example, if
your voucher total is 100.00 and you are retaining 10.00, the system
applies taxes to 90.00. When you release the retained amount, the system
will apply taxes to 10.00.
Blank Apply taxes to the vouchered amount, including the retained portion. For
example, if your voucher total is 100.00 and you are retaining 10.00, the
system still applies taxes to 100.00.
Logs Tab
1 Display the outstanding log detail warning message when the system
verifies the status, pay effective date, and pay expiration date.
2 Display the outstanding log detail warning message when the system
verifies the status, pay effective date, required date, and pay expiration
date.
Blank Do not display the outstanding log detail warning message.
Use this processing option to specify the pay status code that the system uses as
a default value for the voucher when an outstanding log exists.
Typically, you use a pay status code that indicates that the pay item is on hold.
Currency Tab
These processing options control which date the system uses as the effective
date and also whether the exchange rate can be changed.
1. Effective Date
Use this processing option to indicate which date the system uses as the
effective date.
2. Protect Rate
Use this processing option to specify whether you can change the exchange
rate.
This processing option controls whether you are working with flexible
accounting.

Versions Tab
These processing options allow you to enter the version for each application. If
you leave any of the following processing options blank, the system uses the
ZJDE0001 version.
Use this processing option to define the version that the system uses when you
are using the Order Entry program.
When you choose a version, review the version's processing options to ensure
that the version meets your needs.

Use this processing option to define the version that the system uses when you
are using the Stand-alone Landed Cost program.
When you choose a version, review the version's processing options to ensure
that the version meets your needs.
Note that you cannot release retainage and create a voucher at the same time.
See Also
You can create a voucher with retainage that is applied to the entire voucher, or
you can apply retainage by line item of the voucher.
Use the tax with retainage processing option to defer tax on retainage. If you
set the processing option for tax with retainage to on and you use a tax type of
C or V, the system calculates amounts differently. It subtracts retainage from the
original taxable amount and recalculates new amounts.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Match
Voucher to Open Receipt.
You can have the system enter the gross amount and tax for you based
on the detail lines you choose.
The system returns the lines that you selected to the Voucher Match form.
6. On Voucher Match, change the following field for order detail lines, as
necessary:
Amount Retained
7. Click OK.
8. To review the resulting voucher, return to Supplier Ledger Inquiry,
choose the voucher, and click Select.
Retainage is an amount of the order that is held until a specified date. You
release retainage by entering a payment voucher for the amount that you want
to release. Retainage is also called a holdback.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Match
Voucher to Open Receipts.
You might use the Work With Vouchers (Match) form as a starting point
instead of Supplier Ledger Inquiry. If you use Supplier Ledger Inquiry,
you must set processing options to perform voucher match processing.
You can have the system enter the gross amount and tax for you based
on the detail lines or receipt records you choose if you match to the
invoice.
6. Choose the receipt records that correspond to the invoice and click OK.
The system returns the lines you selected to the Voucher Match form.
If you are working with receipt records, you cannot increase the receipt
quantity to reflect an invoice. You must first receive the additional
quantity using the Enter Receipts program. If you increase the amount for
a receipt record, the system creates journal entries to account for the
variance.
8. Click OK.
9. To review the resulting voucher, return to Supplier Ledger Inquiry,
choose the voucher, and then click Select.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Evaluated
Receipt Settlement.
You might have an agreement with certain suppliers that your receipt records
are sufficient for creating vouchers. When such an agreement exists, the
supplier does not need to send you an invoice, and you can avoid manually
matching receipt records to invoices to create vouchers.
You can run the Evaluated Receipt Settlement procedure to create vouchers
from receipt records. You indicate the receipts for which the system:
You can run Evaluated Receipt Settlement (R43800) to review the receipts for
which the system will create vouchers. You can also identify the receipts with
errors so that you can correct them. After you have corrected any errors, you
can run the program in final mode to create vouchers.
The system does not create vouchers for receipt items in a routing process until
they are moved to an onĆhand status. When the receipt items go through the
routing process, the system assigns the receipt record an evaluated receipt value
of R (in routing) in the Purchase Order Receiver table. When the items become
onĆhand, the system changes the value to Y (yes), so that you can create a
voucher.
The receipt record for which you are entering landed costs is eligible for
the Evaluated Receipt Settlement program (Evaluated Receipt field in the
Purchase Order Receiver table is set to yes).
You can create vouchers for the landed cost supplier using the Evaluated
Receipt Settlement program (Evaluated Receipt field on Procurement
Instructions is set to yes).
After the system creates the vouchers, you work with them as you would with
any standard voucher.
Caution: To create vouchers for a supplier in batch mode, you must set the
Evaluated Receipt field in Procurement Instructions to Y (Yes) before you create
purchase orders for the supplier. This is the default for each purchase order that
you enter for the supplier. You can override this default for individual detail
lines. If you set the Evaluated Receipt field in Procurement Instructions to N
(No), you cannot override the value on purchase orders.
The system gets receipt information from the Purchase Order Receiver table
(F43121) to generate vouchers in batch mode. You must use a formal receipt
process to create vouchers in batch mode.
When you run Evaluated Receipt Settlement, the system generates two reports.
If you run the program in proof mode, the first report contains all receipts for
which the system will create vouchers. If you run the program in final mode,
the report contains the voucher number, voucher amount, and so forth, for each
receipt.
The second report lists all receipts for which vouchers cannot be created due to
errors.

The system generates journal entries when you create a voucher so that the
appropriate purchasing expenses and liabilities reflect in the general ledger.
After the system generates journal entries, you can review the entries and post
them to the general ledger.
To ensure the integrity of your data, you can verify that voucher amounts
balance between the accounts payable ledger and the general ledger.
To work with journal entries for voucher transactions, complete the following
tasks:
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Voucher
Journal Review or G/L Voucher Post.
When you create a voucher for items that you formally receive, the system
creates a journal entry that debits a received not vouchered account. When you
create a voucher for items that you do not formally receive, the system creates a
journal entry that debits an expense account.
The system creates accounts payable offsetting entries when you post the
voucher journal entries to the general ledger.
For example, if you create a voucher for 100.00 worth of items that you
formally received, the system creates the following journal entries:
Formal Receipts
Received Accounts
Not Vouchered Payable
100 100
If you create a voucher for 100.00 worth of items that you did not formally
receive, the system creates the following journal entries:
Informal Receipts
Accounts
Expense Payable
100 100
For example, if you enter a voucher for 80.00 worth of inventory items and the
cost of the items at the time of receipt was 100.00, the system creates the
following journal entries:
Received Accounts
Not Vouchered Payable Variance
100 80 20
If you enter a voucher for 80.00 worth of nonĆstock items or services and the
cost of the items on the purchase order was 100.00, the system creates the
following journal entries:
Accounts
Expense Payable Variance
100 80 20
You can review the journal entries that the system creates for a voucher on
Voucher Journal Review. You can review the amount of each entry and the
account to which each amount is debited or credited.
Variance accounts for If you purchase items to inventory, you might sell some
weighted average costs of the items before you create a voucher. If you maintain
a weighted average inventory cost for the items, you must
set up two variance accounts in AAIs, one for the items
sold and the other for the items remaining.
For example:
You buy 10 items at 10.00 for a total of 100.00
You sell two of the items
You create a voucher for 90.00 (the supplier bills
you for 9.00 each)
A variance exists of 10.00. If you do not set up two
variance accounts, the system applies the entire 10.00
variance to the 8 items that remain in stock. This causes
the weighted average cost of the items to be inaccurate.
You must set up AAI table 4332 to have the system create
a separate variance for items no longer in stock.

You can review journal entries for voucher transactions and verify that they
balance in the general ledger and the accounts payable ledger by printing the
Accounts Payable Voucher Journal report.
For each voucher transaction that prints, you can compare the gross amount in
the Accounts Payable Ledger table (F0411) to the corresponding general ledger
distribution entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911). The system does not
include records with a foreign currency ledger type (CA) in the G/L comparison
total.

You can log invoice information prior to receiving the goods or services on an
invoice so that the billing amount reflects in the general ledger. When you log
invoice information, the system creates a preliminary voucher from which you
can create a permanent voucher when you receive the goods or services.
After you create a preliminary voucher, the system generates journal entries that
distribute the voucher amount to a general ledger suspense account. After you
create the permanent voucher, the system generates journal entries that
redistribute the voucher amount to the actual general ledger accounts.
You might want to record invoice information promptly, prior to receiving the
goods or services on the invoice. You can log invoice information to create a
preliminary voucher, from which the system creates journal entries to account
for the billing amount.
After you enter invoice information, you must specify the suspense account for

You can create a permanent voucher from a preliminary voucher after you
receive the goods and services on the corresponding invoice. Because the
preliminary voucher already contains much of the necessary information,
creating the permanent voucher is a simple process.
To create a permanent voucher, you must locate the preliminary voucher and
choose the receipt records that match the invoice. After you do this, the system
creates the permanent voucher.
From the Other Voucher Entry Methods menu (G04111), choose Voucher

From the Purchasing Reports menu (G43A111), choose Logged Voucher Detail.
If you log invoices on the system before taking receipt of the goods or services,
you can print the Logged Voucher Detail report to review preliminary voucher
information. You can use this report to identify the preliminary vouchers that
are ready for distribution. You can also review invoice and purchase order
information, including:
Invoice number
Invoice date
Gross amount
Purchase order number
Received date (if applicable)

If you do not enter purchase order information when you log a voucher, the
system does not print purchase order information on the report.
You can use processing options to determine whether the report prints only
logged vouchers for which receipt records have been entered.
You can review voucher information by purchase order detail line. For example,
if you entered a purchase order containing a detail line for 100 widgets, you can
produce a report that identifies:
You can specify the branch/plant, supplier, and purchase order number for the
detail lines that print. You might use this report to determine the total amount
open to voucher for a supplier or branch/plant.

You can use the Received Not Vouchered Reconciliation report to reconcile
receipts to the General Ledger Account Balances table (F0902).
Each time you record a formal receipt, the system creates a journal entry that
credits a Received Not Vouchered account. You can review this account number
for each receipt. You usually sequence the report information by that account
number.
This report contains information from the Purchase Order Receiver table
(F43121).
You can print the Supplier Analysis report to review all suppliers for whom you
have created vouchers during the past year and the total voucher amount for
each supplier. You can also print this report to compare the total voucher
amount yearĆtoĆdate to the total voucher amount for the previous year.
Suppliers appear in descending order of the total voucher amount. This report
does not include those suppliers with a yearĆtoĆdate voucher balance of zero.

From the Subcontract Reports menu (G43D111), choose AIA Application for
Payment.
You can run the AIA Application for Payment Report either from the
Subcontract Reports menu (G43D111) or during the A/P check run. This report
is similar to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Document G702, titled
Application and Certificate for Payment. The report lists base contract and
change order commitment amounts in addition to previous amounts that were
billed and retained. Your subcontractors can use this report as a turnaround
document. You send an updated report to a subcontractor as an individual item
or with a pay request. The contractor then completes it, has it notarized, and
returns it to you.
You normally send an update of the AIA Application for Payment report with
each of your payments. The subcontractor then uses it for the next application.
The subcontractor sends back the completed form as the invoice for payment.
Completing this document does not necessarily mean that all work on the
contract is complete. In most cases, it indicates only that the work that was
scheduled between the last payment and the next scheduled payment is
complete.
The system uses information from the Subcontract Management Detail table and
the general ledger transactions.

You can print the Waiver of Lien when you are running the A/P check run.
The Waiver of Lien is a form that you print and send to a subcontractor with the
AIA Application for Payment. The Waiver of Lien states that the subcontractor
has been paid and that there are no outstanding liens associated with the work
on the contract. The subcontractor signs the waiver, enters the date, and returns
it to you.
You enter most special orders in the same way that you enter orders. You
distinguish a special order by its order type. For example, when you work with
a requisition, you usually enter an order type of OR (requisition orders). When
you work with a blanket order, you usually enter an order type of OB (blanket
order), and so forth.
Based on the line types, activity rules, and status codes that you set up for
special orders, each special order type follows a different process cycle in the
Procurement system.

You use requisitions to obtain approval for the items and services that you want
to procure. After a requisition is approved, you create an order from the
requisition using one of the following methods:
Duplicate a requisition
Choose requisition detail lines to include on an order
You duplicate a requisition to create an order when you must create recurring
orders from the same requisition. For example, if you have a requisition for
office supplies that you order every month, you can duplicate the same
requisition to create each recurring order.
You choose individual requisition detail lines to create orders when you want to
close the detail lines so that the lines cannot be used again. For example, if you
have a requisition for office supplies that you only want to order once, you
must choose the requisition detail lines so that they cannot be used again.
- Enter requisitions
You distinguish a requisition from other types of orders by the order type code,
which is usually OR (requisition order).
Entering Requisitions
From the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43A12), choose Enter
Requisitions.
Alternately, from the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43D12), choose
Enter Requisitions.
Your company might require you to submit a requisition for the items and
services that you want to procure. You usually enter a requisition to obtain
approval for goods and services prior to creating an order.
You enter a requisition in the same way that you enter an order. For example,
to order office supplies, you enter a detail line for each office supply that you
want to order.
When you enter a requisition, you can enter your address book number as the
shipĆto address so that the requisition can be traced back to you.
If you have a purchasing department that manages requisitions, you can enter a
purchasing agent on a requisition in place of the supplier. This reference allows
the purchasing agent to easily locate requisitions to create orders.
You use the same procedures to print requisitions as you do to print orders,
although you must specify the order type for requisitions.

From the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43A12), choose Enter
Requisitions.
Alternately, from the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43D12), choose

You must duplicate a requisition if you plan to create recurring orders from the
same requisition. For example, each time you need to order paper, you can
create an order by duplicating the existing requisition.
When you duplicate a requisition to create an order, the system does not close
the requisition. You duplicate a requisition the same way that you duplicate an
order.
See Also
Duplicating an Order
You can choose requisition detail lines for which to create orders.
You can create an order for an item quantity or an amount that is less than the
quantity or amount on a requisition detail line. If you specify a lesser quantity
or amount, the system releases that quantity or amount from the detail line and
you choose whether or not the balance remains open. The system closes a
requisition detail line after the entire quantity is released for an order.
To specify whether unit costs display for each detail line and whether the costs
can be changed, you can set the processing options for the Generate Purchase
Orders from Requisitions program.
You can also set the processing options to specify whether the system performs
a tolerance check before creating an order for a requisition.
You can create an order for a requisition by choosing all detail lines on the
requisition. You can also:
You can combine detail lines from multiple requisitions to create a single order.
You use this method to combine items and services for the same supplier. For
example, if you receive two separate requisitions for staplers, you can combine
the requisition detail lines to create a single order.
Requisition Requisition
Purchase Order
AA Suppliers
1 Stapler 1 Stapler
2 Staplers
You can also separate detail lines on a requisition to create multiple orders. You
do this when the items or services on a requisition are provided by different
suppliers. For example, if you receive a requisition that contains an order for a
stapler and an order for a chair, you can generate an order for the stapler and
another for the chair.
Requisition
1 Chair
1 Stapler 1 Chair

Field Explanation
Release Qty The original quantity for the order detail line, plus or
minus any changes to that quantity, minus all quantities
shipped, received, and vouchered to date.
Release Amt The amount of the order, invoice, or voucher that is still
unpaid or open. When you enter a document (for
example, an order, invoice, or voucher), the open amount
is the original amount of that document. If you change
the original amount, the open amount is reduced by the
net change. For example, payments, shipments, or
receipts against a document result in a reduction of the
open balance.

For example, when you use a processing option value of 1 or 2, and you
release two lines with the same supplier, item, branch/plant, unit of measure,
and requested date, each for a quantity of 10, then the system creates one line
with a quantity of 20 on the new order.
Versions Tab
These processing options allow you to enter the version for each application. If
you leave any of the following processing options blank, the system uses the
ZJDE0001 version.

You can enter a blanket order when you have an agreement with a supplier to
purchase a certain quantity or amount of goods over a period of time. You must
enter the entire quantity or amount on the blanket order. Each time you are
ready to receive a portion of the goods, you create a purchase order.
For each blanket order on the system, you can view the original quantity on the
order, the quantity or amount released to date, and the quantity or amount left
to release.
The system distinguishes a blanket order from other types of orders by the
order type code, which is usually OB (blanket order).
From the Purchase Order Processing menu (G43A11), choose Blanket Orders.
You might issue an order for goods or services from which the supplier releases
portions over a period of time. When you have this type of agreement with a
supplier, you can enter a blanket order.
When you enter a blanket order, you must specify the entire quantity or amount
of the item or service that you want to order. For example, if you have an
agreement with a supplier to purchase 100 widgets a month over the next 12
months, you must enter a blanket order for 1200 widgets.
You enter and print a blanket order in the same way that you enter and print a
purchase order. To enter a blanket order, you must enter a single detail line for
the entire blanket order quantity or amount. To print a blanket order, you must
specify the order type.
See Also
When you are ready to receive a portion of the goods or services on a blanket
order, you must release the quantity or amount for which you want to create a
purchase order. For example, if you have a blanket order for 1200 widgets and
you want to receive 100, you must locate the blanket order detail line and
release 100 widgets.
Only those detail lines with status codes that you specified in processing
options appear.
Detail lines with cancel dates prior to the current date do not appear.
2. Choose one or more detail lines for which you want to create a purchase
order and click Select.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each detail line for which you want to create

changes to that quantity, less all quantities shipped,
received and/or vouchered to date. This number can also
be the actual quantity received.
Original Qty The quantity of units affected by this transaction.
Amt To Date The value of the goods received to date against the
original order line.
Original Amt The number of units multiplied by the unit cost.
Before you procure an item or service, you might want to gather and compare
price quotes from different suppliers. You can work with quote orders to:
You distinguish a quote order from other types of orders by the order type
code, which is usually OQ (quote order).
You must enter the items for which you want to receive price quotes on a quote
order. For each item, you must enter a detail line just as you would on an order.
You can request a price quote for a single quantity or for multiple quantities of
an item. You can enter multiple quantities for items for which you expect to
receive a price break for purchasing larger quantities.
You also might want to obtain price quotes after you get approval for the items
and services on a requisition. You can create quote orders using detail lines
from requisitions. The procedure for this is identical to that for creating orders
from requisitions. On the Order Detail form, you can use the Original Orders
function to review:
The system maintains the requisition information to create the detail lines on
quote orders in the Multiple Requisitions table (F4332).
The system maintains quantity price break information by quote order and line
number in the Quantity Breaks Ledger table (F4331).
From the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43A12), choose Enter

For each supplier from whom you are requesting price quotes, you can
generate a form on which to record price quote information. Each form applies
to a specific quote order. The supplier's name and address appear on the form,
as well as the items for which you are requesting price quotes.
You can have the supplier fill out the form, or you can gather the information
and fill out the form yourself. You can record a price quote for each item as
well as the dates through which each price quote is effective. You can then use
the form to enter price quote information in the system.
You run the Print Quote Request procedure to select the quote orders for which
to print request forms. After you enter price quote information in the system,
you can print these forms to review existing price quotes for a supplier.

Your company might require you to obtain approval for the items or services
that you purchase. After you enter a purchase order, subcontract order,
requisition, blanket order, or so on, you can require that the proper authorities
approve the order before the system processes it. This approval eliminates the
unauthorized purchase of items.
The orders you enter might require approval from different persons, based on
the department in which you work or the amount of purchases that you want to
make. You must set up approval routes to specify the persons responsible for
approving orders. You can then assign those routes to orders.
If you originate orders, you can check the current status of an order. The status
indicates the person from whom the order is awaiting approval and the persons
who have already approved the order. You will receive a message when an
order is fully approved or rejected.
If you are responsible for approving orders, you can review all orders awaiting
your approval and select orders to approve or reject. You can provide
explanations for approving or rejecting an order.
When you set up your purchasing cycle, you must determine which order types
(purchase orders, subcontract orders, requisitions, and so forth) require
approval. For each order type, you must set up order activity rules to include
the approval process.
The system maintains historical information about order approvals in the Held
Order table (F4209).
See Also
Your company might require you to obtain approval for the items and services
that you want to purchase. You can create approval routes and assign them to
orders to ensure that purchases are authorized by the appropriate personnel.
The persons who must approve orders might differ based on the department in
which you work, the items you are purchasing, and so forth. You can create
multiple approval routes, each of which consists of a different group of persons.
Each route must be specific to a particular type of order, such as purchase
orders, subcontract orders, requisitions, and so forth. If a person assigned to
multiple approval routes leaves the company or goes on vacation, you can
transfer approval authority to another person.
After you create an approval route, you can assign it to an order. The system
does not allow further processing of the order until it is fully approved.
- Include approval processing in the order activity rules for applicable order
types.
You must set up approval routes to specify the persons who are responsible for
approving an order. After you assign an approval route to an order, the system
does not process the order until the persons on the route approve the order
which ensures that all purchases are authorized by the appropriate personnel.
The persons responsible for approving each order might differ based on the
department in which you work, the items that you want to purchase, and so on.
You can create multiple approval routes, each of which contains a different
group of persons.
Depending on the cost of the items or services that you want to purchase, you
might need to obtain approval for an order from several persons. For each
person that you enter on an approval route, you must specify the amount that an
order must exceed to require that person's approval. You must enter persons in
ascending order by amount. For example:
Approval Route A
Approval Amt Responsible Person
100 Dwight Akin
1,000 Ray Allen
5,000 Dominique Abbot
If you change the approval amount for a person, pending approvals are not
affected.
You can bypass persons on an approval route. For example, using the same
example, Dominique Abbot can approve any order prior to Dwight Akin or Ray
Allen and bypass them in the approval process.
You might want to assign the same approval amount to multiple persons so that
if one is not available to approve an order, another is available who can. Only
the first person on the approval route will receive a message that an order is
awaiting approval, although any of the persons can approve the order. The same
person cannot appear more than once in a table.
You must assign a unique name to each approval route that you enter. You must
also specify the type of order to which the route applies (for example, purchase
orders, subcontract orders, requisitions, blanket orders, and so on).
The system uses electronic mail messages to notify each applicable person an an
approval route that an order is awaiting approval. Persons are notified in the
order that their name appears on the route.
If you delete or add a person on an approval route, the system redirects pending
approvals to the appropriate person but does not resend electronic mail
messages.
- Verify that each person you enter on an approval route has both a user ID
and an address book number.
- Determine the approvers and their approval authority for each route.
Field Explanation
Approval Route Code A code that determines to whom an order is routed for
approval.
Route Description A user defined name or remark.
Budget Approver The address book number of the supplier from whom you
are purchasing items or services.
From Amount A number that indicates the lowest amount for which this
person is responsible for approving orders. The message
Budget" indicates that this approver is the budget
approver.

After you create an approval route, you can assign it to an order to ensure that
the order obtains approval from the appropriate persons. The system allows no
further processing of the order until it is fully approved.
You must assign an approval route to an order before you enter the order. You
use processing options to enter a specific approval route or to specify the
location from which the system retrieves an approval route. You can specify the
following locations:
From the user profile for the person entering the order
From the address book record for the person entering the order
From branch/plant constants
From default locations and printers
If you specify the user profile or address book location, the system uses the
identification number or the address book number of the user for the approval
route. In this case, you must create a separate route for each user. You might
want to use this method if each user requires a unique approval route.
If most of the orders that are generated in a branch/plant require approval from
the same persons, you might retrieve an approval route from branch/plant
constants. You can also assign a primary approval route to each user as you
enter default location and printer information.
Approval routes are applicable at the order level, not at the detail level. For
example, all items and services on an order must be approved before the system
processes the order. After you enter an order, you cannot change its assigned
approval route.
You must create approval routes to specify the persons responsible for
approving an order. You might include a specific person on several approval
routes if the person is responsible for approving all orders that exceed a specific
amount.
You can transfer approval authority from one person to another. You might do
this if a person leaves the company or takes an extended vacation. When you
transfer approval authority, the system permanently changes all approval routes
on which the person currently exists.
You cannot transfer authority from one person on a route to another person
already on the route. However, when you transfer authority from one person on
a route to a person who has just been added to the route, the system redirects
pending approvals to the new individual, but does not resend electronic mail
messages.

When you approve an order, the system either updates the order to an
approved status or sends the order to the next person on the approval route. If
you reject an order, the system returns a rejection message to the originator of
the order and allows no further processing of the order.
If you originate orders, you can review the status of all of your orders
(approved, rejected, pending). If an order has been rejected, you can amend
the order to resubmit it for approval. If an order is pending, you can identify
the next person responsible for approving the order and verify that the person
is available to approve the order.
The system notifies you by electronic mail when a specific order requires your
approval. The system also notifies you if an order that you originated has been
approved or rejected.
After you enter an order with an assigned approval route, the system notifies
those persons responsible for approving the order. The system notifies the first
person on the approval route by electronic mail that the order requires
approval. If the person approves the order, the system either:
Sends a message to the next person responsible for approving the order
Updates the order to an approved status (if no other approvals are
necessary) and sends an approval message to the order originator
If a person rejects the order, the system returns a rejection message to the
originator. If the originator amends the order, the system restarts the approval
process.
After a person approves or rejects an order, the system automatically deletes the
electronic mail message about the order, provided that you have entered it
through the electronic workbench.
The following is an example of the approval route process for a purchase order.

You can use electronic mail messaging (eĆmail) for the approval process even if
you do not use the J.D. Edwards Electronic Mail system on a companyĆwide
basis. You can access your messages from the eĆmail form that is set up
specifically for approval processing or from any eĆmail form on which you have
a mailbox. If you use the approval processing eĆmail form, processing options
allow you to determine which mailboxes appear on the form.

You can locate all orders that await your approval and select individual orders
to review for approval or rejection. You can also locate all orders that you
originated to review the status of each, such as approved, rejected, or pending.
You locate orders based on your address book number. You can also locate
orders based on the age of the order to identify orders that require immediate
attention. If you originate orders, you can specify that only approved or rejected
orders appear.
You can access an order's status summary to identify who is responsible for
approving the order and to review a history of the actions that have occurred to
that order. You can identify those persons who have:

program.
If you are an Approver Ć choose the following option and click Find:
Field Explanation
Orders older than days A number that indicates the age of an order and limits the
quantity of orders that the system displays.
The age of an order is the difference (in days) between
the order date and today's date. The system displays only
orders that are as old as or older than the number of days
you enter.
For example, assume today is May 15, 1998. The
following orders exist:
May 15 - Order # 104
May 14 - Order # 103
May 13 - Order # 102
If you leave this field blank, the system displays all
orders. If you enter 1 in this field, the system displays
only orders 103 and 102.
Field Explanation
Waiting more than days A number that indicates the quantity of days that an order
has been awaiting approval and limits the quantity of
orders that the system displays.
If you enter a number in this field, the system displays
only those orders that have been awaiting approval for at
least the number of days that you specify.
Approval action occurs when one of the following events
takes place:

from the Row menu.
You might want to track items from the moment that they leave a supplier's
warehouse until they arrive in stock. Depending on your operation, several
stops might exist between the two points, such as your dock, the staging area,
inspection, and so forth.
You use receipt routing to track and move items through a series of operations
that make up a receipt route.
Receipt Route A
You must define the operations that make up each receipt route. You must also
determine the logistical and accounting updates that the system performs as you
process items through a receipt route. After you create a receipt route, you can
assign it to an item based on the supplier who provides the item.
Each time you enter a receipt for items, the system enters the items in the first
operation of the receipt route. You must enter the items in subsequent
operations of the receipt route. During each operation, you can:
Remove items from the route due to returns, rejects, and so forth
Have the system automatically generate replacement orders for items that
you return
You can monitor items from the moment that they leave a supplier's warehouse.
You create receipt routes to determine the series of operations through which
you process items until the items become part of your inventory.
You must define the operations that make up each receipt route. You must also
determine the updates that occur as you transfer items to each operation. For
example, you specify the operation at which items become onĆhand inventory.
When you enter items at the onĆhand operation, the system creates journal
entries to reflect the items in inventory, and you can create a voucher to pay for
the items.
You can direct the system to create journal entries each time you transfer items
to and from an operation in a receipt route. You do this so that the value of the
items at each operation appears in the general ledger. For example, you might
want the general ledger to reflect the value of items currently at the dock.
When you create a receipt route, you must indicate whether to pay for items
that you remove (disposition) from the route based on the reason that you
remove them. For example, you might want to pay for items that you rework
but not for pay items that you return.
A receipt route is a series of operations through which you process items upon
receipt. These operations might include:
Transit
Dock
Staging area
Inspection
Stock
To create a receipt route, you must define the series of operations that make up
the route. For example, you can create a receipt route that is made up of two
operationsĊstaging area and stockĊand another receipt route that is made up
of three operationsĊstaging area, inspection, and stock.
You determine the updates that the system performs as you process items
through a receipt route by specifying at which operation:
Each update field on Receipt Routing Definition represents a field in the Item
Location table (F41021). The system maintains balances of inventory items in
this table. You can have the system update the availability of an item at any
operation in a receipt route. For example, you might want the ability to promise
items to customers (enter sales orders) when the items arrive at the dock
instead of waiting until the items are in stock.
You access the Item Availability Definition form from the Branch/Plant
Constants form to indicate which fields the system uses to calculate item
availability. For example, you can specify that the system add the balance in the
Update Transit Quantity field to the current onĆhand balance to calculate
availability.
You must specify at which operation the system records the receipt date for
items. For example, you can specify that the system record the receipt date
when items arrive at the dock. The system compares the receipt date to the date
that the supplier promised to deliver the items to determine supplier
performance.
The last operation in a receipt route is the operation at which items are eligible
for payment. You must direct the system to update items to an onĆhand status at
the last operation in a receipt route. When you transfer items to the last
operation, the system creates journal entries to reflect a liability for the items
and you can create a voucher to pay for the items. The system also updates the
following:
Item costs
Landed costs
Cost variances
Item transaction histories (Cardex)
- Set up receipt route codes in user defined code table 43/RC. See
Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for
more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Receipt Routing menu (G43A14), choose Receipt Routing Definition.
Update Op 1
Update Op 2
Update O/H
Receipt Acknowledgement (Y/N)
The system automatically updates the Pay (Payment Eligible) field for the
same operation at which you update the onĆhand balance. This must be
the last operation in the route.
You can enter a sequence number if the order in which you want the
operations to occur differs from the order in which you enter the
operations.
Field Explanation
Seq The sequence in which the system performs the
operations or steps of the route.
Oper Code A user defined code (43/OC) that represents an operation
or step within the receipt route.
Update Transit A value that indicates whether to update the Quantity in
Transit field in the Item Location table (F41021) as soon
as a quantity moves into this operation.
NOTE: You can enter Y only once in this column for a
route code.
Update Insp A value that indicates whether to update the Quantity in
Inspection field in the Item Location table (F41021) as
soon as a quantity moves into this operation.
NOTE: You can enter Y only once in this column for each
route.
Update Op 1 A value that indicates whether to update the Quantity in
Operation 1 field in the Item Location table (F41021) as
soon as a quantity moves into this operation.
NOTE: You can enter Y in this column only once for each
route code.
Update Op 2 A value that indicates whether to update the Quantity in
Operation 2 field in the Item Location table (F41021) as
soon as a quantity moves into this operation.
NOTE: You can enter Y in this field only once for each
route.
Update O/H A value that indicates whether to update the Quantity on
Hand field in the Item Location table (F41021) as soon as
a quantity moves into this operation.
NOTE: You can enter Y in the last operation only.
Field Explanation
Rec A code that determines at which operation the system
records the receipt date for items in the receipt route.
Based on the receipt date, the system calculates supplier
performance information such as leadtime days for an
item and on time deliveries.
NOTE: You can enter Y in this column only once for each
route.

From the Receipt Routing menu (G43A14), choose Receipt Routing Definition.
You determine when the system creates journal entries for items in a receipt
route so that the value of the item is reflected in the general ledger (G/L). The
system automatically creates journal entries when you enter items at the
operation at which they are eligible for payment and at the last operation in the
route.
You can direct the system to create journal entries each time you transfer items
to and from a certain operation in a receipt route so that the G/L reflects the
value of items at each operation. For example, you might want the general
ledger to reflect the value of all items that are at the dock.
You must enter a G/L category for each operation at which the system creates
journal entries (unless the system creates entries at the last operation only). The
G/L category directs the system to retrieve an account number from the Routing
Operation AAI table for which to:
You can have the system create journal entries at an operation that precedes the
payment eligible operation. For example, you might want the general ledger to
reflect the value of items at the dock even though you do not pay for the items
until they are in stock. To account for items that are not yet payment eligible,
the system:
When you enter items at the payment eligible operation, the system credits a
received not vouchered account to reflect the liability. The system debits:
An inventory account (if the payment eligible operation is also the last
operation in the route and there are no prior journal entries)
A prior to receipts/completions liability account (if this account was
credited prior to the payment eligible operation)
A routing operation account (if the payment eligible operation is the first
operation at which the system creates journal entries)
When you enter items at the last operation in a receipt route, the system debits
an inventory account to reflect the value of the items in stock. The system
credits:
A received not voucher account (if the last operation is also the payment
eligible operation and there are no prior journal entries)
A routing operation account (if items were previously debited to another
operation)
After you create a voucher for items in a receipt route, you cannot transfer the
items back to an operation that precedes the payment eligible operation. For
example, a receipt route has a dock, inspection, and stock operation. Inspection
is the operation at which items are payment eligible. After you create a voucher,
you cannot transfer the items back to the dock unless you reverse the voucher.
The following examples show four different ways to set up a receipt route and
the accounts that the system debits and credits as you transfer items to and from
each operation in the receipt route.
Example 1
Receipt Route I is set up so that the system only creates journal entries at the
last operation in the receipt route (stock), at which time the items become
eligible for payment.
RECEIPT ROUTE I

Example 3
Receipt Route III is set up so that the system creates journal entries at selected
operations in the receipt route. Items are eligible for payment when they enter
the first operation in the route (inĆtransit).
The following example shows the accounts that the system debits and credits as
you process 100.00 worth of items through each operation in Receipt Route III.

Example 4
Receipt Route IV is set up so that the system creates journal entries at all
operations in the receipt route. Items are eligible for payment when they enter
the second operation in the route (Receipt at Dock).
RECEIPT ROUTE IV
Operation G/L Category Payment Eligible
In-Transit IN10
Receipt at Dock IN20 Yes
Inspection IN30
Stock (on-hand) IN40
The following example shows the accounts that the system debits and credits as
you process 100.00 worth of items through all operations in Receipt Route IV
and then transfer the items back to the first operation (inĆtransit).

Amounts in bold represent the debits and credits that result from the reversal.
You cannot perform the reversal above if you created a voucher for the items at
or after the dock (payment eligible) operation.
The following example shows the accounts that the system debits and credits as
you process 100.00 worth of items through all operations in Receipt Route IV
and then transfer the items back to the third operation (inspection).

Journal entries for After you enter items in the operation at which they are
vouchers eligible for payment, you can create a voucher to pay for
the items. The system creates an offsetting entry for the
received not vouchered account when you create a
voucher. When you post that entry to the general ledger,
the system credits the accounts payable trade account.
See Also
As you process items through a receipt route, you might need to return, rework,
scrap, reject, or adjust items. When you create a receipt route, you must indicate
whether you want to pay for items that you remove (disposition) from the route
based on the reason that you remove them. For example, you might want to
pay for items that you rework, but not pay for items that you return.
You must specify the removal categories (returns, reworks, scrap, rejects, or
adjustments) for which items are payable. For example, if you specify that the
scrap category is payable, the system determines that you must pay for items
that you classify as scrap.
If items that you remove from a receipt route are payable, the system creates
journal entries to reflect a liability for the items. The system credits a received
not vouchered account and debits a disposition account based on the general
ledger category you specify for the removal category.
From the Receipt Routing menu (G43A14), choose Receipt Routing Definition.
1. On Work With Receipts Routing Codes, locate the receipt route for which
you want to define payment eligibility.
2. Choose an operation in the route and click Select.
3. On Receipt Routing Definition, choose Disposition Setup from the Form
menu.
4. On Routing Disposition Setup, complete the following fields for each item
removal category and click OK:

You must activate receipt routing to process items through receipt routes.
Receipt routing enables you to monitor the status of the items that you receive
and determine when the items will be available to distribute. To activate receipt
routing, you must:
You can assign a standard receipt route and an alternate receipt route to each
item. An alternate route is one that you send an item through intermittently. For
example, you can assign an alternate route to an item so that every fifth
shipment you receive is inspected.
You can specify the quantity or percentage of items that must be received to
enter an item in its alternate route. You can also define sampling requirements
and item specifications for inspection purposes.
You use processing options for the Enter Receipts program to initiate the receipt
routing process. After you initiate receipt routing, the system enters an item into
its assigned receipt route when you enter a receipt.
You must assign a receipt route to an item to determine the operations through
which the system processes the item upon receipt, such as transit, staging,
inspection, stock, and so forth.
You can assign both a standard receipt route and an alternate receipt route to
an item. Upon receipt, the system enters an item in its standard receipt route
unless you have also specified an alternate receipt route. An alternate receipt
route is one that the system sends the item through intermittently.
You must assign an alternate receipt route to an item to have the system process
the item through a different series of operations based on a number of days or
a number of receipts. For example, you can assign an alternate route to an item
to have every fifth shipment of the item go through an inspection operation.
You must assign receipt routes to an item based on the supplier who provides
the item.
You can also locate all suppliers for a certain item by searching on the
item.
If the item for which you want to enter receipt routing information does
not appear, an item and supplier relationship does not exist. You must
create a relationship to assign a receipt route.
Field Explanation
Normal Route Code A user defined code (43/RC) that identifies a receipt
route. Each receipt route consists of a series of operations
through which the system directs items upon receipt.
Alt Route Code A user defined code (43/RC) that identifies an alternate
receipt route. Each receipt route consists of a series of
operations through which the system directs items upon
receipt.
An item can have a normal receipt route and an alternate
receipt route. The system directs an item through the
alternate receipt route intermittently based on the number
of days or number of receipts that you specify.
Frequency Days A number that determines how often the system directs
an item to the alternate receipt route, based on days. For
example, you enter 3 in this field. If 01/01/98 was the last
date for the alternate receipt route, the system directs the
next receipt performed on or after 01/04/98 to the
alternate receipt route.
Field Explanation
Frequency Number A number that determines how often the system directs
an item to the alternate receipt route, based on receipts.
For example, if you enter 5 in this field, the system directs
every fifth receipt of the item to the alternate receipt
route.

You might assign an alternate receipt route to an item to have the item
inspected intermittently. After you assign an alternate route to an item, you can
specify the quantity of the item that must be received before the system
processes the item through its alternate route. You can also specify sample
requirements for inspection purposes, including:
After you enter sample requirements for an item, you can add specifications or
any other text that applies to the item. Sample requirements and item
specifications are for informational purposes only. You can review this
information when you move or remove items in a receipt route.
- Assign an alternate route to the item for which you want to define sample
requirements and specifications.
Field Explanation
From Quantity The quantity of items that you must receive for the
system to process the items through the alternate receipt
route.
Sample Quantity The quantity of items to inspect when the system
processes a group of items through the alternate receipt
route.
Sample Percentage The percentage of items to inspect based on the quantity
of items that the system processes through the alternate
receipt route.
Acceptance Quantity The quantity of items that must pass inspection for the
entire group to be acceptable.
Acceptance Percentage The percentage of items that must pass inspection for the
entire group to be acceptable.
You can monitor items from the moment that they leave a supplier's warehouse.
For example, you can process shipments of items through transit, your dock,
the staging area, and inspection before updating the status of the items to
onĆhand.
The receipt route for an item determines the series of operations through which
you process an item after you take receipt. For example, if a receipt route
includes four operations, such as transit, dock, inspection, and stock, the system
enters the item in the transit operation when you enter a receipt. You must
transfer the item to each subsequent operation in the route.
You can remove (disposition) items from a receipt route. For example, you
might reject an item that does not pass inspection. In this case, the system
removes the quantity that you reject from the receipt route. If you return an
item, you can generate an order to replace the items.
You can review information about the transfer and removal of items in a receipt
route. For example, you can determine the amount of time that a shipment of
items was at the dock before it was transferred to stock. You can also review
the quantity of items in a shipment that did not pass inspection.
See Also
You can review the current operation for items in a receipt route. For example,
if you recently received a shipment of items and the receipt route for the items
includes a dock and inspection operation, you can review the quantity of the
item at the dock and the quantity of the item being inspected.
Oper Code
Qty At Op
Field Explanation
Qty At Op The number of units currently at this operation.
The receipt route you assign to an item determines the series of operations
through which you process the item upon its receipt (for example, transit,
staging, and stock). The system enters an item into the first operation of the
route upon receipt. You must transfer the item to subsequent operations in the
route.
You can set processing options to determine the operations to which you can
transfer items in a receipt route. For example, if the order of operations is
staging, inspection, and stock, you can transfer items to:
When you transfer items to the last operation in a receipt route, the system
updates the items to a received (onĆhand) status.
From the Receipt Routing menu (G43A14), choose Movement & Disposition.
1. On Work With Routing Statuses, locate the items you want to review.
2. Choose the line containing the item that you want to transfer and click
Select.
Field Explanation
Move Quantity The number of units that you want to move or the
number of units that have already been either moved or
dispositioned.
Defaults Tab
These processing options define the default information that the system uses
during Receipt Routing Movement and Disposition (P43250).
Use this processing option to identify the type of document. This user defined
code (00/DT) also indicates the origin of the transaction. J.D. Edwards has
reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries
are not selfĆbalancing when you originally enter them.) The following prefixes
for document types are defined by J.D. Edwards, and J.D. Edwards recommends
that you do not change them:
If you enter a document type, the system displays only the orders with the
document type that you specify. If you leave this field blank, the system
displays all orders.
You can create different versions that correspond to the different document
types that you use.
Use this processing option to identify the From operation code. The system
displays only the orders that contain the From operation code that you specify.
This user defined code (43/OC) represents an operation or step within the
receipt route.
Display Tab
These processing options control whether the system displays information such
as operations that move quantity to inventory.
1. Quantity to Inventory
Use this processing option to specify whether you want the program to display
operations that move quantity to inventory. Valid values are:
The system retrieves information about the operations that move quantity to
inventory from the Receipt Routing Definition table (P43091). Review the
operations that move quantity to inventory on the Receipt Routing Definition
form. Operations that move quantity to inventory are designated by a check in
the Stock column.
Process Tab
These processing options control which values the system uses for operations in
the receipt route.
1. To Operation Control
Use this processing option to control which operation in the receipt route is
used as the To operation. Valid values are:
Completing this processing option limits the operations that a user can select.
For example, if you enter 1, the user can select only the next operation. If you
enter 2, the user can select the current operation or skip to any next operation.
If you enter 3, the user can select any of the previous operations in the receipt
route.
Use this processing option to specify a last status code for replacement
processing. If you are adding a an order line for a replacement item on the
purchase order, you can enter a last status code for the new order line. Before
you complete this processing option, review the order activity rules that you
have set up, and also be sure that you have activated replacement processing.

J- Job cost, subcontracts, or purchasing to the General Ledger
B- G/L account and item number
N- NonĆstock item
F- Freight
T- Text information
M- Miscellaneous charges and credits
W- Work order
The system uses the line type that you specify for the new order line that
represents the replacement item. You cannot use this processing option unless
replacement processing is activated.
selected. If the Replacement option is not selected, the system does not create a
purchase order for the replacement item.
Versions Tab
These processing options allow you to enter the version for each application. If
you leave any of the following processing options blank, the system uses the
ZJDE0001 version.
Use this processing option to define the version that the system uses when you
access the Receipts by Purchase Order program. You use the Receipts by
Purchase Order program when you are moving items to an operation that is set
up to move quantities into inventory.
Review the version's processing options to ensure that the version meets your
needs.

needs.
Workflow Tab
These processing options control information such as whether the system sends
an eĆmail when the disposition of an item has occurred or for Work Order
Completions and to whom the eĆmail is sent.
1. E-mail (Disposition)
Use this processing option to specify the recipient of the eĆmail that the system
automatically sends when each disposition of an item has occurred. Valid values
are:
The system retrieves the buyer information from the Item Branch table (F4102)
and retrieves the supplier information from the purchase order.
Use this processing option to specify the recipient of the e-mail that the system
sends for Work Order Completions. Valid values are:
The system retrieves the planner information from the Item Branch table
(F4102).
Interoperability Tab
This processing option controls information such as the transaction type for an
interoperability transaction.
Use this processing option to specify a transaction type for the interoperability
transaction. For example, J.D. Edwards has defined the transaction type JDERR
to represent the receipt routing transaction.
If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not perform
outbound interoperability processing.
You might need to remove (disposition) items from a receipt route. For
example, you can return items to the supplier or reject items that do not pass
inspection. You must use one of the following categories to indicate the
quantity of items that you want to remove from the receipt route:
Returns
Reworks
Scrap
Rejects
Adjustments
You can enter text about the removal of items for any of the categories.
Before you remove items from a receipt route, you might want to review the
sample requirements that are set up for a receipt route. You can also choose to
review item specifications that are set up for a receipt route.
After you remove items from a receipt route, the system subtracts the quantities
you enter from the quantity at the current operation. If you need to reverse the
removal, you must use the Ledger Inquiry program. For example, if you
removed items by classifying them as scrap and then later decide to use the
items, you can reverse the removal transaction. The system adds the removed
quantity back to the receipt route and creates the appropriate journal entries, if
necessary.
The system creates journal entries for the items that you remove if you have
specified that the removal category is payable. For example, if you specified
that the scrap category is payable, the system creates journal entries for items
that you remove due to scrap.
If you decide to return an item, the system automatically credits the original
purchase order. You can generate a new purchase order line to replace the
returned items. The system adds the line to the original purchase order.
From the Receipt Routing menu (G43A14), choose Movement & Disposition.
1. On Work With Routing Statuses, choose the detail line from which to
remove items.
2. Choose Disposition from the Row menu.
Field Explanation
Qty Returned The number of units that you are returning to the
supplier during receipt routing. You can return goods for
credit or for replacement.

items that you are returning. Valid values are:
Y Replace the items. The system credits the
purchase order for the items you are returning
and creates a new detail line for the
replacement items. The Replacement
Information window appears after you
disposition the items so that you can enter
information for the new order detail line.
Blank Do not replace the items. The system credits the
purchase order for the items you are returning.
See Also
You might inadvertently enter a receipt for an item. You can reverse the receipt
for an item that the system processes through a receipt route.
When you move an item to the last operation in its receipt route, the system
updates the item to an onĆhand status. If you inadvertently move the item to the
last operation, you can reverse the onĆhand status by moving the item back to a
previous operation in the receipt route.
You must set processing options for the Movement and Disposition program to
allow item movement to any operation in order to perform reversals. You must
also set processing options for items that have completed their route to appear.
If you did not intend for an item to enter receipt routing, you must reverse the
initial receipt using the Open Receipts program, which removes the item from
the receipt route. The item must be at the first operation in the receipt route.
If you removed items from the receipt route due to returns, rejects, and so
forth, you must reverse the item removals before you can reverse the receipt.
See Also
You can review information about the transfer of items from one operation to
another in a receipt route. For example, you can review when a group of items
was moved from inspection to stock, as well as who moved the items and on
what date. You can also determine how long the items were at a certain
operation.
You can also review information about the removal of items from a receipt
route. For example, you can review the quantity of items in a shipment that did
not pass inspection and the quantity of items that were returned to the supplier.
You can specify whether you want to review transfer or removal transactions.
You can indicate the operations for which you want to review transfers. For
example, you can review only those transfers for which items at the dock were
moved to staging.

container in which the items on this purchase order or
order line were shipped to you. You can assign container
information to an order during receipts entry.
You can manage the relationships that you have with suppliers and the items
that they provide. You enter initial information about each item that you
purchase from a supplier and the system monitors delivery, quality, and cost
performance on behalf of the supplier. You can compare performance
information to determine the best suppliers from whom to make purchases.
The system processes an order based on the items that you purchase and the
supplier from whom you make the purchases. For example, you can define
purchasing instructions for a supplier so that each time you enter an order, the
system retrieves default values for that supplier.
You can specify the items that you purchase from a supplier to create supplier
and item relationships. For each item, you can enter information such as
whether the supplier is certified to sell the item. If a supplier is not certified to
sell an item, the system does not let you enter the item on a purchase order for
the supplier.
You can review information about the quality of a supplier's services, including
delivery performance and the condition of items upon receipt. To ensure that
this information is accurate, you must set up guidelines so that the system can
recognize onĆtime deliveries and items in acceptable condition.
The system processes an order based on the items that you purchase and the
supplier from whom you make the purchases. You can define purchasing
instructions for a supplier so that each time you enter an order for the supplier,
the system retrieves default values such as a landed cost rule, a price rule, a
print message, and so on.
You can use purchasing instructions to specify item restrictions for a supplier.
Item restrictions determine which items you can or cannot purchase from a
supplier. If you restrict the purchase of certain items, you cannot enter the items
on a purchase order for the supplier.
You can activate the Advanced Pricing system for a supplier when you are
defining purchasing instructions.
You also can specify limitations for a supplier, such as minimum and maximum
order amounts for a supplier. You can also specify whether you can create
vouchers based on receipt information.
You also can specify whether the system prints only prices on a purchase order
or both prices and adjustments.
Changes you make to purchasing instructions do not affect orders that you
already created.

engineering specifications, hours of operation during
holiday periods, and special delivery instructions.
Adjustment Schedule A user defined code (40/AS) that identifies a price and
adjustment schedule. A price and adjustment schedule
contains one or more adjustment types for which a
customer or an item might be eligible. The system applies
the adjustments in the sequence that you specify in the
schedule. You link customers to a price and adjustment
schedule through the customer billing instructions. When
you enter a sales order, the system copies the schedule
attached to the sold to address into the order header. You
can override this schedule at the detail line level.
For Agreement Management, this is the Agreement Penalty
Schedule. The information in the Agreement Penalty
Schedule provides the system with the criteria for an
agreement to have penalty conditions.
Invoice Copies The number of purchase order copies required by the
supplier. When you print a purchase order for the
supplier, the system prints the number of copies that you
specified in this field. The system always prints at least
one purchase order.

In OneWorld software, a checkmark indicates that price
information will appear on the customer's pick list, or the
purchase order.
Evaluated Receipt A code that indicates if an order is eligible for the
evaluated receipt settlement process. An evaluated receipt
settlement indicates that you have an agreement with the
supplier to create vouchers based on the items that you
receive. You use the Evaluated Receipt Settlement
(R43800) procedure to create vouchers from receipt
records. As a result, the supplier does not send you
invoices and you can bypass the Voucher Match
procedure.
Valid values are:
N Not eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing.
Y Eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing.
I Receipt transaction is in process.
T Eligible for evaluated receipt settlement
processing. However, a tolerance error occurred

You can create relationships between a supplier and the items that you purchase
from the supplier. For example, if you purchase widgets from AAA Supply
Company, you can create a relationship between the AAA Supply Company and
the widget item. You can define information for the relationship, such as:
The status of the relationship (whether you can purchase the item from
the supplier)
The receipt route for the relationship (the route for the item when you
purchase it from the supplier)
The price of the item (when you purchase it from the supplier)
You can manually create supplier and item relationships or you can have the
system create them for you when you purchase items from a supplier.
You also can have the system create a supplier and item relationship when you:
You must set processing options for the appropriate program to capture supplier
analysis information.
You also can create relationships for items for which master information does
not yet exist. You can set a processing option for the Supplier/Item Relationships
program to specify whether you want the system to prompt you to enter
standard item master information or nonĆstock item master information.
The system stores information for item and supplier relationships in the
Supplier/Item Relationships table (F43090). You must run the Supplier Analysis
Regeneration program (P43900) to initially update the fields in this table.
If you are working with nonĆstock items, the Branch/Plant field is not
applicable.
Field Explanation

An order is on time if you receive it the same day that the supplier promised to
deliver it. You can allow a certain number of days before or after the promised
date that the order can still be on time. For example, you can allow two late
days and two early days. If the promised date for an order is 3/15, the order is
not late unless you receive it after 3/17, and it is not early unless you receive it
before 3/13.
You can also specify the percentage of an order that must be delivered for the
system to determine the receipt date. For example, you can specify that you
must receive 90 percent of an order for the system to use the receipt date to
determine whether the delivery is on time, early, or late.
Field Explanation
Leadtime Quantity % The percentage of an order that you must receive for the
system to calculate leadtime. Leadtime is the number of
days between the date that you enter an order detail line
and the date that you receive the order.
For items in a receipt route, the system determines the
receipt date based on the date at which the items arrive at
the operation flagged for receipt acknowledgement.
Days Allowed Early The number of days prior to the promised date for which
delivery of the item is acceptable. For example, you enter
2 to indicate that the supplier can deliver the item a
maximum of 2 days early to qualify for an onĆtime
delivery.
Days Allowed Late The number of days after the promised date for which
delivery of the item is acceptable. For example, you enter

Field Explanation
Column Name An alphanumeric code that identifies a column. A column
represents a performance factor, such as the average unit
cost for an item and the last cost that you paid for an item.
For example, you can review performance factors to
compare suppliers' costs and services for a certain item.
Description A user defined name or remark.
Column Heading 1 The first line in the heading that describes the column.
The system automatically centers this line for the column.
Column Heading 2 The second line in the heading that describes the column.
The system automatically centers this line for the column.
Formula A calculation that the system uses to determine an amount
or quantity for this column. You can use a single
predefined value or multiple predefined values in
conjunction with mathematical operators to enter a
formula. Valid mathematical operators are:
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
() Left and right parentheses for nesting
For example, you can enter the following formula to have
the system calculate onĆtime percentages:
20/(20+21+22)
The formula above equals onĆtime percentages because:
20 is the value for onĆtime amounts
21 is the value for early amounts
22 is the value for late amounts
Decimal Positions The number of characters that appear to the right of the
decimal point. For example, if you enter 2, the amount or
quantity in this column would have two characters to the
right of the decimal point, such as 7.00.
Edit Code This code (98/EC) determines the format of numeric data.
By entering different codes, you can change the
appearance of the values that appear or print.
Field Explanation
Multiplier The factor by which the amounts or unit quantities in a
column are multiplied. The result of the calculation in the
Formula field is multiplied by this factor before it is
displayed on the Job Status Inquiry screen.
For example, if you want to scale down extremely large
numbers to thousands, type .001 in this field. If you want
percentages to be displayed as whole numbers, type 100.
Glossary Item The item in the Data Dictionary table (F9201) that
describes the information that a column represents.
Typically, a column contains information about a
supplier's performance to allow you to compare suppliers'
costs and services for a certain item.

The price that you pay for an item might differ depending on the supplier from
whom you purchase the item and whether a discount applies to the item. You
can maintain supplier prices for items and provide discount information so that
the system retrieves the correct unit cost for an item when you enter a purchase
order.
The price for an item might vary depending on the supplier from whom you
purchase it. For example, one supplier might charge 1.00 for an item while
another supplier might charge 1.25 for the same item. You can enter the price
that each supplier charges for an item.
You might receive a discount for an item based on the quantity that you
purchase. For example, you might receive a 20 percent discount if you purchase
100 or more items. You can have the system apply a discount to the price of an
item by creating price rules and attaching them to the items and suppliers to
which they pertain.
You can enter prices for an item based on the supplier from whom you purchase
the item. For example, a clock from AAA Supply Company might cost 5.00. If
you purchase the same clock from Acme Supply Company, it might cost 7.00.
When you enter a purchase order, the system can retrieve a unit cost for an item
based on the price that you entered for the supplier.
You must enter supplier prices by catalog. A catalog is a group of items along
with the price for each item. Each catalog is unique to a supplier. You can enter
all of the items that you purchase from a supplier in one catalog or you can
create multiple catalogs to classify a supplier's items by seasonal changes,
different product lines, and so on.
If you enter item prices for a supplier without specifying the name of a catalog,
the system automatically creates a default catalog for the supplier. You might
want to use default catalogs if you plan to maintain only one catalog for each
supplier.
A supplier might charge a different price for the same item depending on the
time of year that you purchase the item. For example, the same calendar might
cost 10.00 in January and 5.00 in October. You can enter the same item at a
different price in multiple catalogs, with different effective dates for each price.
When you enter an item on a purchase order, the system searches the supplier's
catalogs to retrieve a unit cost. It searches the default catalog first (if it exists),
and then all other catalogs in alphabetical order. After the system locates an
item, it verifies the effective dates. If the current date falls within the effective
dates, the system enters the unit cost on the purchase order.
The system retrieves the unit cost for a purchase order detail line based on either
the transaction unit of measure (UOM) or the purchasing UOM for the line. You
use system constants to specify which UOM the system uses for price retrieval.
The price for an item might vary depending on the quantity that you purchase.
For example, if you purchase one clock, the price might be 5.00. If you purchase
100 clocks, the price for each clock might be 4.00. When you enter an item in a
catalog, you can specify price breaks based on the quantity that you purchase.
- Verify that all items for which you enter supplier prices have a purchase
price level of 1 or 2 in master information. These price levels direct the
system to retrieve unit costs for purchase orders based on suppliers.
- Set processing options to indicate whether you can add new items to
catalogs and create records in the Item Master table (F4101).
- Enter catalog names in user defined code table 40/CN. See Customizing
User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for more
information about setting up user defined codes.
If you do not enter effective dates, the system enters the current date
through the last day of the century.
Field Explanation
Catalog A group of items that a certain supplier provides and the
price for each item.
Quantity Break The quantity of units affected by this transaction.

You might receive a discount on an item based on the quantity that you
purchase. For example, if the price for an item is 5.00, you might receive a 20
percent discount if you purchase 100 items and a 30 percent discount if you
purchase 200 items. You can have the system apply a discount to the unit cost of
an item when you enter a purchase order.
You must create inventory price rules to provide discount information. For each
price rule, you must specify:
A price rule can apply to a single item or multiple items. For example, you can
set up a price rule that applies to a specific office supply or a group of office
supplies. After you create a price rule, you must attach it to the items to which it
applies and the supplier from whom you purchase the items.
You can create multiple levels for a price rule, each of which represents a certain
purchase quantity. For example, you might set up the following levels:
If you enter a purchase order for a supplier and item to which you have
attached the rule above, the system applies a discount to the unit cost of the
item based on the quantity that you purchase. For example, if the cost of the
item is normally 10.00 and you purchase 150 items, the system calculates a unit
cost of 7.00.
You create a contract price rule the same way that you create a standard price
rule, except that you must:
You do not need to attach the contract price rule to the item. The system
retrieves the contract price based on the short item number when you enter a
purchase order.
If you create a contract price rule for an item, the price you specify will override
all other price rules that are applicable to the item.
The system tracks the quantity that has been purchased against the contract price
rule to date.
- Set up names of price rules on user defined code table 40/PI. See Creating
User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for more
information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Price Management menu (G43A17), choose Inventory Pricing Rules.
You must enter a value in the Level field for each discount applicable to
the rule.
Field Explanation
Pricing Rule A user defined code (40/PI) that determines the
calculations that the system uses to apply a discount to an
order. After you define a price rule, you must assign it to
the supplier and item (or order detail line) to which it
applies. When you enter an order, the system applies the
discount to the unit cost of the item.
To set up a price rule for a contract, the name of the price
rule must be the short number for the item under contract.
Price Method A user defined code (42/CT) that indicates the basis for
the price rule. Valid values are:
P Purchase order discounts
O Order repricing
R Line repricing (basket repricing)
You must enter a P in this field if the price rule applies to
the Procurement system.
Level An alphanumeric code that determines the sequence in
which the system displays the rules within the pricing
group. You define levels when you set up the pricing
groups.
Up To Quantity The volume or quantity to which the pricing logic on this
line applies. If the quantity shown on the first level of a
rule is 5, then the pricing logic on the line applies only to
purchases of five or fewer items. If the quantity shown for
the next level is 10, then the pricing logic applies to
purchases of 6 through 10 items. 99,999,999 indicates all
quantities.
Field Explanation
Basis A costing method on which the system bases the net price
of the order.
For pricing and repricing, valid values are:
1 LastĆIn Cost
5 Future Cost
P Unit Price
2 Average Cost
6 Lot Cost
3 Memo Cost 1
7 Standard Cost
4 Current Cost
The system uses the method that you enter here to
determine the order's net price.
In sales order repricing, the system bases all reprice
calculations on either the unit cost or price in the sales
detail. Specify P if you want the system to use unit price
in the sales order as the basis for reprice calculations.
Otherwise, specify a value between 1 to 8 to use the unit
cost in the sales detail as the base on value for all reprice
calculations.
Factor Value The discount that the system uses when it calculates the
price of an item attached to this inventory pricing rule.
Discounts can be expressed as multipliers, additional
amounts, or deductible amounts. For example, a 10%
discount would be expressed as .90. You can use the
same factor for markups over cost. For example, a 10%
markup would be expressed as 1.10.
Type A code that indicates whether the factor value is a
multiplier (%) or an additional/deductible cash amount ($)
when applied to an order's price.
Override Price Any price you enter here overrides all other rules or
prices.
Effective Date The date on which a level within a pricing method takes
effect. There can be multiple records within a pricing
method that have the same level identifier, discount
percentage, and so forth, with the only difference being
the effective date. This may occur due to special
promotion periods.
Expiration Date The date a particular pricing level within a pricing method
expires. Within a pricing method there might be multiple
records that have the same level identifier, discount
percentage and so forth, but have different expiration
dates. This might occur due to special promotion periods.
You can create an inventory price rule to apply a discount to the unit cost of an
item. After you create a price rule, you must attach it to the items to which it
applies and the suppliers from whom you purchase the items. The system
discounts an item's unit cost when you enter a purchase order.
After you create an inventory price rule, you can attach it to branch/plant
information for an item or you can attach it to a purchase order detail line. If a
price rule is standard for an item, you probably want to attach the rule to
branch/plant information. If the price rule varies for an item, you can enter a
different price rule each time you enter a purchase order.
If you attach a price rule to an item, you must also attach the price rule to the
supplier from whom you purchase the item. Before you attach a price rule to a
supplier, you can review any price levels that currently apply to a supplier on
Work with Pricing Rules. For example, you might have attached a price rule in
the item branch/plant information that you entered.
Before you attach a new price rule to a supplier, you might want to remove the
existing price rule by choosing Remove Level from the Row menu.
You can use one of two methods to attach price rules to a supplier:
If the same price rules apply to multiple suppliers, you can save time by
attaching price rules to a price group and then attaching the price group to the
suppliers. If price rules vary among suppliers, you might want to attach
individual price rules to each supplier.
- Set up names of price groups on user defined code table 40/PC. See
Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for
more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Price Management menu (G43A17), choose Supplier Pricing Rules.
1. On Work With Pricing Rules, choose Customer Rules from the Form menu.
If a price rule has multiple levels, you must choose the highest level of the
rule to make all lower levels apply. To choose a specific level, you must
specify Applied Levels Only, in which case only the level you select
applies.
Field Explanation
Customer Price Group A user defined code (40/PC) that identifies a group of
suppliers that provides the same types of discounts on
items.
You can review performance information to determine which suppliers are most
likely to provide you with the best costs and services for an item. Performance
information includes the quality of service provided by a supplier for a certain
item and the costs charged by the supplier.
Delivery of an item
Acceptability of an item
Cost of an item
You can also review a summary of performance information for all suppliers
who provide a specific item. For example, you can compare the average unit
cost and leadtime (average number of days to deliver an item) for all suppliers
who provide you with Item A.
To store performance information, you must set processing options for the
Enter Purchase Orders program, Enter Receipts program, and Match Voucher to
Open Receipts program to capture supplier analysis information.
Before you order an item from a supplier, you can determine if the supplier has
made timely deliveries in the past. You can review the percentage of items that
a supplier has delivered on time, early, and late in each fiscal period (usually a
month) to determine if the supplier is likely to make timely deliveries in the
future.
You can review the quantity, amount, or number of receipts for an item that
was on time, early, or late. For example, if you acquired 100 bicycles in June
from AAA Bicycle Company, you can identify that 10 were delivered early, 80
were on time, and 10 were late. If you choose to review amounts, you can
identify that 1,000.00 was early, 8,000.00 was on time, and so on.
You can also review delivery information for each receipt in a fiscal period. For
example, you might have entered 5 receipts of 20 bicycles to acquire 100
bicycles in June. You can review the promised and delivery dates, and the
quantity that was on time, early, or late for each of the 5 receipts.

7. Choose a receipt and choose Receipt Details from the Row menu.
Field Explanation
Quantity On-time Number of items that you received on time from this
supplier during the fiscal period. To determine if a receipt
is on time, the system compares the receipt date to the
promised date. If there is a difference between the two,
the system uses the number of days allowed early or late
to determine if the receipt is on time. You set up the
number of days that is an acceptable time window for
delivery performance (days allowed early or late) on the
Supplier/Item Relationship form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/07/98
Days Allowed Late - 3 days
The order is late if received three days after 12/05/98, or
after 12/08/98. Since you received this order on 12/07/98,
the order is on time.
Field Explanation
Quantity Early Number of items that you received early from this
supplier during this fiscal period. The system considers a
receipt early if you received the items outside the days
allowed early range and before the promised date. You
set up the number of days that you consider to be an
acceptable time window for delivery performance (days
allowed early or late) on the Supplier/Item Relationships
form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/01/98
Days Allowed Early - 3 days
The order is early if received three days before 12/05/98,
or before 12/02/98. Since you received this order on
12/01/98, it is early.
Quantity Late Number of items that you received late from this supplier
during the fiscal period. Any receipt made outside the
days allowed late range and after the promised date is
late. You set up the number of days that you consider to
be an acceptable time window for delivery performance
(days allowed early or late) on the Supplier/Item
Relationships form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/12/98
Days Allowed Late - 3 days
The order is late if received after 12/08/98. In this
example, the order is late.
Amount On-time Total value of the items that you received on time from
this supplier during the fiscal period. To determine if a
receipt is on time, the system compares the receipt date
to the promised date. If there is a difference between the
two, the system uses the number of days allowed early or
late to determine if the receipt is on time. You set up the
number of days you consider to be an acceptable time
window for delivery performance (days allowed early or
late) on the Supplier/Item Relationship form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/07/98
Days Allowed Late - 3 days
The order is late if received three days after 12/05/98, or
after 12/08/98. Since you received this order on 12/07/98,
the order is on time.
Field Explanation
Amount Early Total value of the items that you received early from this
supplier during this fiscal period. The system considers a
receipt early if you received the items outside the days
allowed early range and before the promised date. You
set up the number of days that you consider to be an
acceptable time window for delivery performance (days
allowed or late) on the Supplier/Item Relationships form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/01/98
Days Allowed Early - 3 days
The order is early if received three days before 12/05/98,
or before 12/02/98. Since you received this order on
12/01/98, it is early.
Amount Late Total value of the items that you received late from this
supplier during the fiscal period. Any receipt made
outside the days allowed late range and after the
promised date is late. You set up the number of days that
you consider to be an acceptable time window for
delivery performance (days allowed early or late) on the
Supplier/Item Relationships form.
For example, suppose you have an order set up as
follows:
Promised Date - 12/05/98
Receipt Date - 12/12/98
Days Allowed Late - 3 days
The order is late if received after 12/08/98. In this
example, the order is late.
Receipts On-time The number of receipts that were delivered on the date
that was promised by the supplier.
Percent On-time The percentage of the total number of items ordered that
were delivered on the date promised by the supplier.
Percent Early The percentage of the total items on the order that were
delivered before the date promised by the supplier.
Percent Late The percentage of the total items on the order that were
delivered after the date promised by the supplier.

Before you order an item from a supplier, you might determine if the supplier
has a history of delivering the item in good condition. You can review the
percentage of acceptable items from a supplier in each fiscal period (usually a
month) to determine if the supplier is likely to provide acceptable items in the
future.
You can review the quantity of an item that was acceptable in each fiscal
period, as well as the percentage. For example, you can review that you
acquired 100 bicycles in June from AAA Bicycle Company, of which 95 were
acceptable and 5 were unacceptable.
You can also review the acceptable quantity for each receipt that you entered in
a fiscal period. For example, you might have entered 5 receipts of 20 bicycles to
acquire 100 bicycles in June. You can review acceptable and unacceptable
quantities for each of the 5 receipts.
The system can only track item acceptability for those items that are processed
through a receipt route.
4. Choose a detail line and then choose Quality Details from the Row menu.
Field Explanation
Quantity Dispositioned Original quantity of the order line, plus or minus any
changes to that quantity, less all quantities shipped,
received and/or vouchered to date. This field may also
represent the actual quantity received.
Quantity Accepted Number of items that you accepted out of the total
received.
Quantity Non-Accepted Number of items that you did not accept of the total
received.
Percent Accepted Percentage of the total that you accepted when you
received the goods.
Percent Non-Accepted Percentage of the total that you rejected while inspecting
the goods received.

You might want to review the average unit cost you paid to a supplier for an
item in each fiscal period (usually a month). You can compare this cost to the
average cost for the item on purchase orders and the average cost at the time of
receipt to determine if the price remains consistent.
You can have the system calculate a percentage variance between the cost you
paid for an item and another cost, such as the receipt cost. For example, if the
supplier specified an average cost of 0.50 when you entered a receipt for an
item but then billed you an average cost of 1.00, the system displays a 100
percent variance. In this case, you would probably determine why the variance
exists. You use processing options to specify the cost to compare to the paid
cost.
You can also review the inventory cost for an item. You specify the cost method
that the system uses to determine the inventory cost, such as lastĆin, firstĆout
(LIFO). Using this cost method, the inventory cost reflects the cost of the last
item you received.
You can review costs for each receipt you entered in the fiscal period. For
example, if an item had an average receipt cost of 10.00, you can review the
cost for the item each time you entered a receipt, which might have been 9.00
at one receipt and 11.00 at another receipt.
4. Choose a detail line and then choose Cost Details from the Row menu.
Field Explanation
Inventory Unit Cost The amount per unit, derived by dividing the total cost by
the unit quantity.
Ordered Unit Cost The unit cost of one item, as purchased from the supplier,
excluding freight, taxes, discounts, and other factors.
Received Unit Cost The unit cost of the item at the time of receipt.
Paid Unit Cost The unit cost entered while generating a Purchase Order.
The cost is updated in the Purchase Order work file.
Received Unit Cost The unit cost of the item at the time of receipt.
Percent Cost Variance This field represents the percentage variance between the
cost paid, and either the inventory cost, ordered cost, or
the received cost.
You can compare a variety of performance information for all suppliers who
provide a certain item to determine the best supplier from whom to purchase
the item. For example, for each supplier that provides you with the same item,
you can compare:
- Define formats that contain the columns you want to review and assign a
format to the Summary form using processing options.
- Define paths (multiple formats) and assign a path to the Summary form
using processing options.

Some of your suppliers might offer you cash rebates if you purchase a certain
quantity or amount of their items and services. You can set up the Procurement
system to track rebates.
To track rebates, you must enter information about each rebate agreement.
When you enter, change, or cancel an order, the system applies the appropriate
purchases toward the rebate agreement.
You can view the current status of each rebate agreement, including:
With this information, you can identify rebates that your business is likely to
obtain. You can also identify rebates that are unobtainable, which might change
your price negotiations in the future.
You can have the message center alert you when you are within a range of
meeting the purchase requirements for a rebate.
See Also
Working with Ship and Debit Claims in the Advanced Pricing Guide if you
are a distributor in the electronics industry and participate in rebate or
ship and debit programs with your suppliers
For the system to track rebates, you must provide information about the
agreements you have with your suppliers. This information includes:
If several of your suppliers have the same parent company, you might want to
track rebate information at the parent level instead of at the supplier level. You
can set up procurement instructions for each supplier to specify the level at
which to track rebate information.
When you enter orders, the system applies purchase quantities and amounts
toward rebates. You must specify the order types from which the system applies
purchases to rebates. For example, you can have the system apply quantities and
amounts from purchase orders, blanket orders or both.
Caution: Ensure that you specify the correct order types from which the system
applies purchases to rebates. For example, if you use blanket orders to purchase
items, you must specify the blanket order type. If blanket orders are
prerequisites to purchase orders, you specify only the purchase order type.
Otherwise, the system applies the same quantity and amount from both the
blanket order and the purchase order.
- Set up the order types from which the system applies purchases to rebates
on user defined code table (43/RB). See Customizing User Defined Codes
in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for more information about setting up
user defined codes.
When a supplier offers you a rebate for purchasing certain goods and services,
you set up a rebate agreement. You can have an unlimited number of rebate
agreements for each supplier. For each agreement, you specify basic information
such as:
You can also specify whether the rebate is based on purchase quantities or
amounts and whether the rebate is an amount or a percentage of the purchase
amount.
If you specify that a rebate agreement is based on purchase quantities, you must
enter a unit of measure for the rebate agreement.
You can have the system assign a number to each of your rebate agreements or
you can enter your own number. If you have the system assign a number, it
increases the last rebate agreement number for the supplier by one. If it is the
first rebate agreement for the supplier, the system assigns the number one.
You can also specify a currency for a rebate agreement, and you must enter the
thresholds, or purchase limits, for the agreement in that currency. When you
enter purchase orders for rebate items in another currency, the system converts
the purchase order currency to the rebate currency.
You can enter a memo about a rebate agreement. When a memo exists, the
system displays a paper clip next to the rebate agreement in the detail area on
the Work With Purchase Agreements form.
If the terms of the agreement are not yet final, you can set up a pending rebate
agreement for a supplier. You can also specify that all rebate agreements for a
certain supplier are pending. If you use procurement instructions to specify that
all rebate agreements for a supplier are pending (inactive), the system changes
the status to active when you enter a new active rebate agreement for the
supplier.
The system stores rebate agreement information in the Purchase Rebate Master
table (F4340).
Field Explanation
Supplier The address book number of the supplier from whom you
are purchasing items or services.
Agreement Description A user defined name or remark.
Effective From The date when a transaction, text message, contract,
obligation, preference, or policy rule becomes effective.
Expired Thru The date on which a transaction, text message, agreement,
obligation, or preference has expired or been completed.
Rebate Status A user defined code that defines the status of the rebate
agreement. The status can be pending or active. The value
1 (active) is hard coded to indicate that the rebate
information will be updated.
Threshold Type A code that indicates that the threshold is in either
number of units or amount. Depending on the type that
you indicate, the threshold field is titled either Threshold
Units or Threshold Amount.
Rebate Type A code (43/RT) that indicates whether the rebate is a
percentage of the quantity purchased or a fixed currency
amount.
Unit of Measure A user defined code (00/UM) that indicates the quantity in
which to express an inventory item, for example, CS
(case) or BX (box).
Administrator The address book number of a manager or planner.
Note: A processing option for some forms allows you to
enter a default value for this field based on values for
category codes 1 (Phase), 2, and 3. You set up the default
values on the Default Managers and Supervisors form.
After you set up the default values and the processing
option, the default information displays automatically on
any work orders that you create if the category code
criterion is met. You can either accept or override the
default value.
After you enter basic information about a rebate agreement, you must specify
inclusion rules that indicate what you must purchase to obtain the rebate. The
system applies purchases toward a rebate agreement based on one of the
following:
Item number
Account number against which you are purchasing
Items to which you assigned a particular category code value
You can enter item numbers or account numbers when there are specific items
or services that you must purchase to obtain the rebate. You can enter stock or
nonĆstock items for a rebate agreement.
You can enter a category code value to specify a group of items from which you
can make purchases. The system applies purchases to the rebate agreement each
time you purchase an item that is assigned the category code value.
Each time you enter an order detail line, you must specify a line type. The
Inventory interface for the line type, which you specify in Order Line Types,
determines the order in which the system searches through inclusion rules for a
rebate agreement to find a match:
The system stores information about the items, account numbers, and
purchasing code values that are applicable to a rebate agreement in the Purchase
Rebates Inclusion Rules table (F4342).
- Specify the purchasing category (P1-P5) you will use to enter category
code values for rebates. You specify this value in System Constants. If you
do not specify a purchasing category, the system uses purchasing category
code 1 (P1) as the default.
From the Price Management menu (G43A17), choose Rebate Inclusion Rules.
Field Explanation
Obj Acct The portion of a general ledger account that refers to the
division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials,
and equipment) into subcategories. For example, dividing
labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.
Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the
object account is set to 6 digits, J.D. Edwards recommends
that you use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is
not the same as entering 456, because if you enter 456,
the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6Ćdigit object.
Sub A subdivision of an object account. Subsidiary accounts
include more detailed records of the accounting activity
for an object account.

1. Enter a ’1’ to enable entry of ____________
quantity and amount in the Rebate
Adjustment window. If left blank,
the window will be display only.
After you define the conditions for obtaining a rebate, you must enter the
quantity of items or the financial amount that you must purchase before you can
receive a rebate. For example, you enter either 500 widgets or 500.00 worth of
widgets. Each quantity or financial amount is referred to as a threshold. When
you enter multiple thresholds, you must enter threshold quantities or amounts in
ascending order.
Next, you enter information about the type of rebate that you are to receive. The
rebate type indicates whether the rebate is a specific predetermined financial
amount or a percentage of the total purchase amount. For example, if you
purchase 100 widgets, the supplier gives you a 50.00 rebate. However, if you
purchase 500 widgets, the supplier gives you a 15 percent rebate on the total
purchase amount of the widgets.
You must enter the entire financial amount or percentage you are to receive for
each threshold, regardless of other thresholds for which you might have already
received a rebate. For example, you should receive 100.00 for purchasing 100
widgets, and 500.00 for purchasing 500 widgets. When you purchase 500
widgets, you are entitled to a total rebate of 500.00, regardless of the 100.00 you
might already have received.
If you are entitled to a rebate regardless of the quantity or amount that you
purchase, you can enter a threshold quantity of zero.
Caution: You must base threshold quantities on the unit of measure you specify
for the purchase rebate agreement. When you enter purchase orders for rebate
items, the system converts the purchasing unit of measure to the rebate unit of
measure, if necessary.
The system stores information about the thresholds and rebates that are
applicable to a rebate agreement in the Purchase Rebate Threshold table
(F4341).
Field Explanation
Threshold Quantity The total quantity of an item to be reworked or scrapped,
as the result of a disposition on an ECO.
Threshold Amount The amount, expressed in either monetary value or
quantity, that must be reached to qualify for a rebate.
Multiple threshold values can exist for a single rebate
agreement.
Rebate Percentage The percentage of actual purchases that the supplier pays
when the associated rebate threshold is reached.
You must express a percentage as a whole number, for
example, enter 10 to express 10 percent.
NOTE: The supplier will pay a rebate amount if the rebate
type specifies a fixed amount.
Field Explanation
Rebate Amount The rebate amount that the supplier pays when the
associated threshold has been reached.
NOTE: The supplier will pay a rebate percent if the rebate
type specifies percent.
Before you purchase from a supplier, you might want to determine if the
purchases apply to a rebate. You can review summary information for each
rebate agreement you have with a particular supplier, including:
You can also select an agreement that allows you to view individual purchasing
transactions.
If you find that the total purchase quantity or purchase amount that the system
has accumulated and applied towards a rebate agreement is incorrect, you can
change the quantity or amount.
The system retrieves purchases to date and rebate amounts received for an
agreement from the Purchase Rebate Master table (F4340). It retrieves transaction
details for rebate agreements from the Purchase Rebate History Details table
(F4343).
You might want to determine if you are eligible to receive a rebate or if you are
close to obtaining a specific rebate. For each agreement, you can review:
You can also view agreement information such as effective dates, the last rebate
threshold reached, the rebate amount you have received to date, and so on.

The purchase quantity or amount that the system has accumulated and applied
toward a rebate agreement might be incorrect. For example, you might have
returned some of the rebate items that you purchased. You can override the
current calculations by entering a new purchase quantity or amount.
When you change a quantity or amount, you can also add a memo that explains
why you are making the adjustment.
Field Explanation
Amount Purchased The amount purchased to date. The system updates this
accumulator if you have set the threshold type to indicate
that the rebate agreement is based on a purchase amount.
Quantity Purchased The quantity (total number of units) purchased to date.
This accumulator will only be updated if the threshold
type of the rebate agreement is set to quantity.
From the Receipts Matching and Posting menu (G43A15), choose Rebate Batch
Update.
The system tracks the quantity and amount of purchases you have made that
apply to a rebate agreement. You must run the Rebate Batch Update program to
have the system compare this quantity or amount to that which is required to
obtain the rebate.
You can have the system send a message to the rebate administrator when you
meet the purchasing requirements for a rebate agreement or when you are
within a certain range of meeting the requirements. For example, if you must
purchase 100 items to obtain a rebate, you might want the rebate administrator
to receive a message when you have purchased 90 items.
You must run the Rebate Batch Update program to have the system send a
message. You use processing options to specify whether the system sends a
message and to define a range. For example, if you want the system to send a
message when you have purchased 90 of the 100 items required to obtain a
rebate, you enter a range of 10 percent.

You can revise a purchase order after you have entered it into the system if a
change has occurred since you entered the order. For example, if you need to
fill a purchase order quickly, you can manually update the status code so that it
bypasses some of the normal purchasing procedures. If you want to delay an
order, or if the supplier cannot get the items to you by the promised date, you
can revise the requested or promised dates. Also, you can review your
inventory and create a purchase order for items that you want to reorder.
The system processes detail lines through the purchase order processing cycle
based on the last and next status codes assigned to each line. After a detail line
completes a step in the processing cycle, the system updates the status codes.
You can manually update the next status code for detail lines to bypass a
particular step, if needed.
You cannot update detail lines to a closed status. To update detail lines to a
closed status, you must use the Purchase Order Entry program.

The requested date or promised date for an order might change after you have
entered the order in the system. You can follow manual procedures and
simultaneously revise these dates for multiple orders.
After you change a requested or promised date, the system records the new date
in the Purchase Order Detail table (F4311). If you have already taken receipt of
items, the dates in the Purchase Order Receiver table (F43121) are not affected.

You can have the system generate purchase orders for stock and nonĆstock
items. You can have the system suggest the items and quantities to order. The
system bases ordering suggestions on current demand (sales backorders) or
historical demand (sales history). You can review the suggestions to determine if
you want to generate the purchase order for the item and quantity. You can also
change the suggestions before generating the order.
The system will not allow you to generate purchase orders if certain
combinations of data exist. Some invalid combinations of data include:

Field Explanation
Suggested Order Quantity A value that is calculated by the P.O. Generator, Buyer's
Inquiry, and Buying Guide Report with the following
variables:
AVAL Available inventory, as calculated from onĆhand
quantity less committed quantity plus quantity
on PO including quantity in receipt routing.
ROP Reorder point, taken from ROP entered in the
branch inventory record of the primary storage
location, if not blank; or the ROP as calculated
(see the definition of ROPC for more
information). The system calculates Reorder
Point as follows:
ROP = (((Annual Sales x Lead Time Days) /
Number of Days in Year) + Safety Stock)
If Safety Stock is not stated on the Quantities
form, then the system will use the following
formula:
ROP = ((Annual Sales x Lead Time Days) /
Number of Days in Year) + square root of
((Annual Sales x Lead Time Days) / Number of
Days in Year)
EOQ Economic order quantity (or reĆorder quantity
ROQ), taken from the ROQ entered in the
branch inventory record of the primary storage
location, if not blank; or the calculated EOQ (see
the definition of EOQ for more information).
The system calculates Economic Order Quantity
as follows:
EOQ = Square root of ((2 x Purchase Order
Issue Cost x Annual Sales) / (Inventory Carrying
Cost x Average Cost)
Calculation is either:
1Ć If AVAL > ROP, then SOQ = Zero
2Ć If AVAL = ROP, then SOQ = EOQ
3Ć If AVAL < ROP, then SOQ = EOQ + (ROP -
AVAL)

You can monitor individual commitments for a job or project to verify the types
of purchases being made. You can review the total commitment amount for a
job or project to verify that it does not exceed the budget.
When you receive goods or create vouchers for purchases, you can have the
system relieve commitments. To do this, the system subtracts the individual
commitment amount from the total commitment amount for the job or project.
See Also
When you receive goods or create a voucher for purchases, the system relieves
commitment amounts by subtracting them from the total commitment amount for
the job or project.
- Set up commitments
Setting Up Commitments
Commitment tracking applies only to purchases for nonĆstock items and services.
You must charge each order detail line to a general ledger account number. The
number represents the job or project for which you are tracking commitments.
You must specify the order types for which the system is to track commitments
in user defined code table 40/CT. For example, if you want the system to track
commitments on orders and requisitions, you must specify these order types. See
Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for more
information about setting up user defined codes.
For a detail line to be eligible for commitment tracking, it must have a line type
with an Inventory Interface code of A or B. These codes indicate that the line is
charged directly to a general ledger account number.
Each time you enter a purchase order detail line for which commitment tracking
is applicable, the system records the amount in the purchase amount (PA) ledger
and the purchase unit (PU) ledger.
To set up commitments
On Work with User Defined Codes, enter the document types for which the
system is to track commitments and encumbrances.
See Also
When you receive or create vouchers for purchases, you can have the system
relieve the corresponding commitment amount. To relieve a commitment, the
system subtracts the individual commitment amount from the total commitment
amount for the job or project.
Caution: When completing commitment relief, the Job Cost Projections field
must be set to No" if you are in a nonĆjob cost environment. Note that the
default value in the Job Cost Projections field is Yes."
Field Explanation
Commitment Display A code that specifies whether committed amounts and
(Future) unit quantities (ledger types PA and PU, respectively) are
shown as total commitments or total contracts when you
process information from the Account Balances table
(F0902). This code also controls whether the committed
amounts are rolled forward into the future years of a job's
budget. The total amount is stored in the Account
Balances table in the Original/Beginning Budget (BORG)
field, and affects any form that shows commitments. Valid
values are:
Blank Show as total commitments, and roll BORG
forward
1 Show as total contracts, and roll BORG forward
2 Show as total commitments, and do not roll
BORG forward
3 Show as total contracts, and do not roll BORG
forward
The commitment feature tracks the following values:
Total contracts (the sum of all contracts and
purchase orders)
Open commitments (total contracts minus the
payments against specific lines of the
commitment)
Total commitments (the open commitments plus
actual payments)
You can set or change this constant without changing the
logic for accumulating and storing these balances. The
committed amount is defined in user defined codes
(40/CT).
Field Explanation
Commitment Relief A code that specifies whether the system automatically
relieves open commitments when you post accounts
payable vouchers to the general ledger. These vouchers
are related to nonĆinventory purchase orders and contract
progress payments.
Valid values are:
Y Automatically relieve open commitments.
N Do not automatically relieve open commitments.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . FormĆspecific information . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Consider setting this constant to Y to relieve commitments
automatically when you post progress payment vouchers.

If you locate data inconsistencies among any of the following tables, you can
correct the commitment audit trail.
- You must purge the commitment information that currently exists in the
PO Detail Ledger. Verify that you are only deleting information from the
PA ledger.
See Purging Data for more information about removing data from the PO
Detail Ledger table (F43199).
If your business needs change after you install the J.D. Edwards Procurement
system, you might find it necessary to create a commitment audit trail for your
orders. You can run the Create Commitment Audit Trail program to create a
history of commitment balances.
When you run the Create Commitment Audit Trail program (R00993), the system
creates an audit trail record of commitments against an order with an account
number. When you create an audit trail, the system reads the Purchase Order
Detail table and writes the audit trail data, one line at a time, to the P. O. Detail
Ledger table. Purchase orders that have audit trails have a purchase amount (PA)
ledger type in the P. O. Detail Ledger table.
The system only processes detail lines that have a document type that is
specified in the user defined code table for commitment document types
(40/CT). Additionally, the system does not create a commitment audit trail for
records in which an audit trail already exists. Therefore, to recreate a
commitment, you must first purge existing records.
If you locate data inconsistencies between any of the following tables, you can
correct the commitment audit trail.
To correct the commitment audit trail you must purge the current commitment
audit trail to prevent duplicating the commitment amounts in the new
commitment audit trail. Purge only records in the P. O. Detail Ledger table with a
ledger type of PA and the next status and last status are blank. Choose the
following data dictionary alias:
Caution: Use caution when selecting records to purge. The P. O. Detail Ledger
table contains records for the purchasing ledger (blank ledger type), change
order ledger (CO ledger type), rollovers (RO ledger type), and commitment
records (PA/PU ledger type). If you purge purchasing ledger, change order, and
rollover ledger records, you cannot recover the records.
Note: You can use selection criteria to narrow the scope of information the
system purges and uses to create the new audit trail. For example, you can use
account numbers, contract numbers, or order numbers. The selection criteria you
use to purge the audit trail must be the same criteria you use to create the new
audit trail. Failing to do so can cause unpredictable results.
After you purge the P. O. Detail Ledger table, you must create a new
commitment audit trail. The system creates the new commitment audit trail from
records in the Purchase Order Detail table (F4311) for both open and closed
orders. Open orders have records in the audit trail for the original commitment
amount and any amounts that have been partially relieved. All partially relieved
records for each order are summarized into one relief record. Closed orders have
two records posted in the commitment audit trail: one record for the original
commitment amount and another for the commitment relief.
After you create the new commitment audit trail, run Post Committed Costs to
Job to repost the PA ledger records in the Account Balances table. The system
adds the new information in the audit trail and posts these amounts to the
Account Balances table.
- Verify that the data inconsistencies are in the P. O. Detail Ledger table and
not in the Account Balances table. If the data inconsistencies are in only
the Account Balances table, you can correct the inconsistencies by running
Post Committed Costs to Job to repost the Account Balances table.
- Back up the Purchase Order Detail table, the P. O. Detail Ledger table, and
the Account Balances table.
Run the Post Committed Costs to Jobs program to track your job costs. When
you run this program, the system recalculates the amounts in the Account
Balances table (F0902) for the purchase amount (PA) and purchase unit (PU)
ledgers. The system also recalculates monthly amounts in the Account Balances
table based on information in the Purchasing Ledger table (F43199).
In any efficient organization, relationships with suppliers are critical. For any
organization to maintain predictable delivery of goods or services, it has to know
definitively what it will be able to deliver and when. Clear, concise, and accurate
information is key to an efficient relationship.
By allowing suppliers the ability to view certain information in your system, you
make it possible for them to get realĆtime information on orders, receipts, and
payment information and to respond to requests for quotes.

- Verify that you have set up supplier and item information. For more
information about creating supplier and item relationships see, Setting Up
Supplier and Item Information.
Before your suppliers can access order information on the Web, you must create
ways in which they can access item information, review account information,
and inquire on existing orders. During standard order entry, your personnel can
access master tables, such as Address Book, Supplier Master, and Item Master,
and can edit information according to your supplier's needs. Suppliers are not
able to add or modify address book or supplier master information.
- Verify that you have set up Address Book and Supplier Master Records for
your suppliers.
After you set up address book and supplier records, you must set up a user
profile that limits your supplier's access to the OneWorld system. Your suppliers
will not be able to log in without a profile.
In the User Profile, you can indicate your supplier's user ID, password, and
preferences, such as language and localization information. With the user profile,
you must specify the Supplier SelfĆService menu (G43S11) so that your suppliers
can access only the programs that have been modified for WebĆbased
transactions.
When you enter Supplier SelfĆService on the Web, you can move freely
throughout the menu applications. The system stores product selections and
supplier information in a memory cache. In this way, your users move among
applications, and the system maintains the current contents of the supplier's
order in the cache file.

Each purchase order you enter must contain details about the items or services
you want to order. For each item or service, you must enter a line of detail
information that describes the order, including the quantity and cost of the item
or service. The system processes the detail line based on a line type.
The line type you enter for a detail line determines how the transaction affects
other systems, such as:
General Accounting
Inventory Management
Accounts Payable
For example, you might create a line type for stock items. When you set up the
line type, you specify that it affects item availability in the Inventory
Management system. You also specify that it affects the General Accounting and
Accounts Payable systems. When you assign the line type to a purchase order
detail line, the system:
The line type for a detail line also determines the cycle through which the
system processes the line (based on order activity rules). Other information you
can specify for a line type includes whether the detail line is subject to taxes,
whether the system applies freight charges to the detail line, and so on.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Order Line Types.

Account books a variance. In World software, valid values are:
Y A variance that is generated during voucher
match should be booked to the variance
account.
N Book any variance back to the expense account
for the order detail line.
In OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that a variance that is
generated during voucher match should be booked to the
variance account.
NOTE: This field is used in conjunction with an inventory
interface of A or B in the Procurement system only.
Edit Item Master for A OneWorld code that indicates whether the system
Non-Stock Item validates the sales order line's item against the Item Master
table. Use this flag in conjunction with the nonstock
inventory interface only.
Valid values are:
0 The system will not validate the line item against
the Item Master table.
1 The system will validate the line item against the
Item Master table and will display an error if the
item is invalid.
Field Explanation
Protect Price on Sales In World software, a code that indicates whether this order
Order line appears on the first document in a series of four
documents that relate to this order. For example, it might
be necessary to include receiving information in a
purchase order that provides instructions about the
desired disposition of goods. Although this information is
vital to the proper handling of the order, it should not
appear on the purchase order that is delivered to the
supplier.
In OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that this order line
appears on the first document in a series of four
documents that relate to this order.
Generate Purchase Order A code that indicates whether the system should include
in the total value of the order any monetary value
associated with the order line. If you enter N (No), you
can print information, such as original estimate amounts,
on the order next to the actual amount billed without
adding the estimate amounts to the total order. This code
controls whether the system includes the monetary value
in the first of four documents in the processing cycle.
Inv. Interface A code that identifies the type of interface to the Inventory
Management system. Valid values are:
Y The dollar or unit value of any activity
containing this line type will be reflected in
inventory. The system also edits the item that
you enter to ensure that it is a valid item. Y is
the default.
A The system recognizes the number that you
enter as a G/L account number. The system uses
this code in purchasing only.
B The system performs edits when using format 4
in purchase order entry. The system retrieves
price data from the inventory tables, but does
not update the quantity on the purchase order.
This code is valid only when you have set the
G/L Interface field to Y (yes). Budget checking is
fully functional when you use this interface
code.
D The item in this line is an inventory item that
will not affect availability or quantities.
N The item is not an inventory item.
To verify whether the item exists in the Item Master file,
use Inventory Interface N in conjunction with the flag, Edit
the Item Master for NonĆStock Items.
Field Explanation
G/L Offset A user defined code (41/9) that identifies the G/L offset
that system uses when it searches for the account to which
it posts the transaction. If you do not want to specify a
class code, you can enter **** (four asterisks) in this field.
You can use automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) to
predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for the
Inventory, Procurement, and Sales Order Management
systems. You might assign G/L class codes as follows:
IN20 Direct Ship Orders
IN60 Transfer Orders
IN80 Stock Sales
The system can generate accounting entries based upon a
single transaction. For example, a single sale of a stock
item can trigger the generation of accounting entries
similar to the following:
Sales-Stock (Debit) xxxxx.xx
A/R Stock Sales (Credit) xxxxx.xx
Posting Category: IN80
Stock Inventory (Debit) xxxxx.xx
Stock COGS (Credit) xxxxx.xx
The system uses the class code and the document type to
find the AAI.
Include in Tax 1 A code that indicates whether the monetary value of this
order line is subject to applicable taxes and which taxes to
apply. Valid values are:
Y The line is subject to applicable taxes.
N The line is not subject to applicable taxes.
3-8 Yes, the line is subject to applicable taxes at the
rate indicated by the group number (3Ć8). The
system uses group numbers for VAT (value
added tax).
Sales Journal Col The Sales Journal report has four columns. The value in
this field controls which of the four columns receives the
sales value, if any, of this line. Valid values are:
1 Column 1 receives the sales value (if any).
2 Column 2 receives the sales value (if any).
3 Column 3 receives the sales value (if any).
4 Column 4 receives the sales value (if any).

Setting Up Order Activity Rules for information about how the system
processes order detail lines
For each item or service that you enter on a purchase order, you must enter a
line of detail information that describes the order, including the quantity and
cost of the item or service. You must set up order activity rules to establish the
sequence of steps through which you process each detail line, for example:
Enter order
Approve order
Print order
Receive order
You can set up multiple sets of activity rules. You must assign each set of rules
to a certain order type (purchase order, requisition, and so on) and line type.
For example, you can specify that a set of activity rules apply only to purchase
order detail lines that have a line type of S (for stock items).
To save time, you can copy an existing order activity rule by accessing a current
combination of an order type and a line type and making the necessary
changes.
You must assign status codes to each step in activity rules. Status codes identify
the current status of a detail line and the next status to which to advance the
line. You must define status codes in ascending numerical order. For example,
you can set up status codes for purchase order stock line types as follows:
Last Next
You can change the progression of steps by indicating alternate next status
codes. For example, using the activity rules above, you can bypass the Print
Purchase Order step for orders that you send electronically. To do this, you
must assign an alternate next status code (400) to the Approval Process step.
You can then assign the alternate code to detail lines in the approval process.
You can specify that the system writes a record to the Purchasing Ledger table
when a detail line enters a certain step in the activity rules.
You cannot delete an order activity rule if there are records in the system whose
status match any of the statuses that are assigned to the order activity rule.
- Verify that you have set up status codes in user defined code table 40/AT.
See Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide
for more information about setting up user defined codes.
- Verify that you have set up order types in user defined code table 00/DT.
See Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide
for more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Order Activity

Order Type A user defined code (00/DT) that identifies the type of
document. This code also indicates the origin of the
transaction. J.D. Edwards has reserved document type
codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post
program. (These entries are not selfĆbalancing when you
originally enter them.)
The following document types are defined by J.D.
Edwards and should not be changed:
P Accounts Payable documents
R Accounts Receivable documents
T Payroll documents
I Inventory documents
O Purchase Order Processing documents
J General Accounting/Joint Interest Billing
documents
S Sales Order Processing documents
OS Subcontract
OP Purchase Order
R2 Contract Billing
Field Explanation
Line Type A code that controls how the system processes lines on a
transaction. It controls the systems with which the
transaction interfaces, such as General Ledger, Job Cost,
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Inventory
Management. It also specifies the conditions under which
a line prints on reports and is included in calculations.
Codes include the following:
S Stock item
J Job cost
N Nonstock item
F Freight
T Text information
M Miscellaneous charges and credits
W Work order
Order Type Next Number A code that tells the system which next number series to
use when creating order numbers for this order type.
There are ten available Next Number series.
This field addresses the following:
Purchase requisitions that carry order numbers
different from bid requests and purchase orders
Blanket sales orders numbered in a different
number range from standard sales orders
Last Status A user defined code (40/AT) that indicates the status of
the line.
Next Status A user defined code (40/AT) that indicates the next step
in the order process.
Other 1 This is an optional field indicating a status that can be
performed as the next step in the order process. Although
this is not the preferred or expected next step, this field is
an allowed override. The system does not allow you to
initiate an order line step or status not defined as either
the expected next status or an allowed status. Other
allowed status codes let you bypass processing steps.
These codes are often referred to in processing options as
override next status codes."
Ledger Y/N A code that tells the system to write a record to the
history table (F42199 for Sales Order Management and
F43199 for Purchase Order Management). Valid codes are:
Y Write a record for selected fields to the history
table
N Do not write a record to the history table
A constant is information that you associate with either the entire system or a
specific branch/plant. The system uses constants as default information in many
J.D. Edwards systems.
After you determine the information that you want to use throughout your
system, you can enter the appropriate values or change any predefined values.

Symbol Customer/Supplier A character that identifies the customer's or supplier's
number in your system. When you enter a number
preceded by this character, the system recognizes the
number as the customer's or supplier's number. The
system then use the crossĆreference table to match the
number to your item number. You must complete this
field if you want the system to perform crossĆreferencing.
Field Explanation
Commitment Method A code that indicates the method that the system uses to
commit lot items from inventory. Valid codes are:
1 The normal commitment method for inventory.
The system commits inventory from the primary
location and then from secondary locations. The
system commits inventory from the locations
with the most inventory before committing
inventory from locations with the least. The
system commits backorders to the primary
location.
2 The inventory commitment method by lot
number. The system commits inventory by lot
number, starting with the lowest lot number and
committing orders to available lots.
3 The inventory commitment method by lot
expiration date. The system commits inventory
from the locations with the earliest expiration
date first. The system considers only locations
with expiration dates greater than or equal to the
sales order or parts list requested date.
Specific Commitment A number that the system uses to determine when to
(Days) commit inventory to an order in sales order processing.
This value in days is added to current date and compared
with the promised ship date for the order line. If the
promised date is greater than the calculated date, then the
order line will be future committed in the Item Location
record (F41021). Enter 999 to eliminate future commits.
Number of Days in Year The number of days in a year that your company is open
for business. This field is required. You must specify a
number from 252 to 365. The Procurement system uses
this number to calculate the Economic Order Quantity
(EOQ).
Supplier Cross Ref. Code A user defined code (41/DT) that identifies the type of
crossĆreference set up for this supplier. Examples of
crossĆreference types include:
1. Substitutes
2. Replacements
3. Bar Codes
4. Customer Numbers
5. Supplier Numbers
Purchasing Costing Method A user defined code (40/CM) that indicates the cost
method that the system uses to determine the cost of the
item for purchase orders. Cost methods 01Ć19 are reserved
for J.D. Edwards use.
Sales/Inventory Costing A user defined code (40/CM) that indicates the cost
Method method that the system uses to calculate the cost of goods
sold for the item. Cost methods 01Ć19 are reserved for J.D.
Edwards use.
Field Explanation
Current Inventory Period A number (from 1 to 14) that identifies the current
accounting period . The system uses this number to
generate error messages, such as PBCO (posted before cut
off) and PACO (posted after cut off).
Purchase Order Issue Cost The amount that the Procurement system uses to calculate
the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ). This cost should be
the estimate of the cost of materials, labor, and overhead
that you incur when you issue a single purchase order.
The default value is .00.
The following example shows how EOQ is determined
using the Purchase Order Issue Cost method:
S Purchase Order Issue Cost = 15.0
I Inventory Carrying Cost = .09 (9%)
Y Annual Sales in Units = 3,000
C Unit cost of Item = 10.0
EOQ = the square root of ((2S/I) x (Y/C))
The square root of [(2)(15) divided by 0.09] x 3,000
divided by 10.0 = 316.23
Inventory Carrying Cost The percentage of inventory investment that the
(%) Procurement system uses to calculate Economic Order
Quantity (EOQ). The default is .00. Enter the percentage
as a decimal value.
The following example shows how EOQ is determined
using the Inventory Carrying Cost Percentage:
S Purchase Order Issue Cost = 15.0
I Inventory Carrying Cost = .09 (9%)
Y Annual Sales in Units = 3,000
C Unit Cost of Item = 10.0
EOQ = Square root of ((2S/I) x (Y/C)) = the square root of
(2(15) divided by .09)) * (3000 divided by 10) = 316.23
NOTE: Access field help for the Economic Order Quantity
field for more information about the EOQ formula.
General Ledger A code that the Inventory Management system uses to

line of a journal entry in the general ledger.
Valid values are:
1 Item master description (the default).
2 Primary item number.
Approval Route Code A code that determines to whom an order is routed for
approval.
Field Explanation
Backorders Allowed (Y/N) A code that indicates whether you allow backorders for
this item. You can allow backorders by item (through Item
Master or Item Branch/Plant), by customer (through
Billing Instructions), or by branch/plant (through
Branch/Plant Constants).
For WorldSoftware, valid values are:
Y Yes, allow backorders for this item.
N No, do not allow backorders for this item,
regardless of the backorders code assigned to
the customer.
For OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that backorders are
allowed.
Interface G/L (Y/N) A code that indicates whether inventory transactions that
are processed through this branch/plant create general
ledger entries.
In WorldSoftware, valid values are:
Y Yes, the system creates general ledger entries for
inventory transactions for this branch/plant.
N No, the system does not create general ledger
entries for inventory transactions for this
branch/plant.
In OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that the system
creates general ledger entries for inventory transactions for
this branch/plant.
Quality Control (Y/N) A code that indicates whether to turn on the Quality
Management system (system 37) for the branch/plant.
For WorldSoftware, valid values are:
Y Yes, turn on Quality Management for this
branch/plant.
N No, do not turn on Quality Management for this
branch/plant.
For OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that Quality
Management is turned on for the branch/plant.
Use Product Cost Detail A code that specifies whether distribution programs use
(Y/N) total cost or detailed product costs.
Field Explanation
Foreign Depot A code indicates whether another company owns the
branch/plant. The Bulk and Packed Load Confirmation
programs use this code to determine if the depot from
which product is being loaded is a foreign depot. If it is a
foreign depot, you must enter a valid borrow agreement
during load confirmation.
For WorldSoftware, valid values are:
Y Yes, another company owns the branch/plant.
N No, the branch/plant is not a foreign depot.
For OneWorld, a checkmark indicates that another
company owns the branch/plant.
Inventory Lot Creation A code that indicates whether the inventory transaction
(Y/N) programs can create new lot or serial numbers in the
system.
If you leave this option blank, the system will not allow
the inventory transaction programs to create new lot
numbers in the system.
If you check this option, the system allows the inventory
transaction programs to create new lot numbers in the
system.
You can define pricing constants to enable you to enter Advanced Pricing
information in Procurement and Sales Order Management.
Field Explanation
Advanced Sales Pricing Indicates how the system determines the price of items
(Y/N) within your system. If your system includes the advanced
pricing module, you may use this feature.
Y The system will use advanced pricing.
N The system will NOT use advanced pricing.
Advanced Procurement Use this field to specify whether to apply advanced
Pricing (Y/N) pricing to the purchase price. Valid values are:
Y Apply advanced pricing to the purchase price.
N Apply standard price adjustments to the
purchase price.
Require Price Approval A value that specifies whether the user wants all price
(Y/N) changes provided through price approval workflow.
Y Apply price approval workflow.
N Do not apply price approval workflow.
You must define how you want the system to calculate item availability for each
branch/plant. This calculation affects how the system calculates onĆhand items.
4. Under the Subtract and Add headings, choose from the options and then
click OK.

Set up system constants to determine how the system performs certain functions.
For example, assume that you have several branch/plants and you use different
units of measure for the items in each branch/plant. You can set a system
constant to automatically convert units of measure by branch.
2. On System Constants, choose from the following options and click OK:
Unit of Measure Conversion by Branch
Update Average Cost On-Line
Purchase Price Retrieval UOM
Field Explanation
Unit of Measure A code that indicates how the system uses the
Conversion by Branch branch/plant within the Item Specific Unit of Measure
Conversion tables. Valid values are:
Y The system displays the itemĆspecific conversion
table when you add an item to a specific
branch/plant.
N The system displays the itemĆspecific conversion
table for all branch/plants from the Item Master
table.
Update Average Cost A code that indicates when the system calculates the new
On-Line average cost for an item. Valid values are:
Y The system calculates a new average cost
immediately after any transaction occurs that
affects the average cost of an item.
N All processes that affect average cost create
transactions to the Average Cost Work table
(F41051). The system calculates a new average
cost when you run the Average Cost Update
program.
Purchase Price Retrieval A code that represents the unit of measure that the system
UOM retrieves for the purchase base price (F41061) during
purchase order processing.
If you specify the unit of measure for transaction or
pricing and the system does not find a record in that unit
of measure, the system repeats the process using the
primary unit of measure of the item.
You must define management approval and batch control separately for each
distribution and manufacturing system that you use.
Field Explanation
Mgmt Apprv A code that indicates whether you want to require
approval of batches before they can be posted to the
general ledger. Valid values are:
Y Yes, assign a status of Pending to each batch that
you create within the listed systems.
N No, assign a status of Approved to each batch.
Field Explanation
Batch Ctrl A code that indicates whether to require entry of batch
control information. For each batch, the system displays a
batch control form on which you must enter information
about the number of documents and the total amount of
the transactions that you expect in the batch. The system
uses these totals to edit and display differences from the
actual transactions you entered. This field applies only to
the Inventory Management and the Purchase Order
Management systems. In Inventory Management, Y
indicates that the system displays a batch control form
before you issue, adjust, or transfer inventory. In Purchase
Order Management, Y indicates that the system displays a
batch control form before you enter receipts. Valid values
are:
Y Yes, require entry of batch control information.
N No, do not require entry of batch control
information.
In the Procurement system, the system creates journal entries when you receive
an inventory item. You set up AAIs to indicate the accounts for which the system
creates the journal entries. You also can enter memo text for each AAI.
See Also
The Procurement system uses multiple AAI tables, each of which applies to a
certain type of transaction. In each table, you specify a general ledger (G/L)
account for each unique combination of company, document type, and G/L
class.
For example, you can set up an AAI table for inventory receipt transactions.
Each time you enter a receipt for an inventory item, the system determines the
general ledger account to which to debit the receipt based on the company,
document type, and G/L class for the receipt.
The system stores AAIs in the Automatic Accounting Instructions Master table
(F4095).
These AAI tables determine which accounts are debited and credited when you
enter purchase order receipts or create vouchers.
These AAI tables determine which accounts are debited and credited when there
is a variance in the cost of an item.
These AAI tables determine which accounts are debited and credited when you
work with tax liabilities.
This AAI table determines which accounts are debited and credited when you
process items through a receipt route.
These AAI tables determine which accounts are debited and credited when you
work with landed costs.
These AAI tables determine which accounts are debited and credited when you
work with zero balance adjustments.
Use this AAI to determine which retention payable account to use when
you create contracts that include retainage.
Use this AAI to determine the account for deferred VAT payables. This AAI
applies only when the VAT tax processing option is on and you use a tax
type of C or V.
Use this AAI to determine the account for deferred VAT recoverables. This
AAI applies only when the VAT tax processing option is on and you use a
tax type of C or V.
Use this AAI to specify the default cost type (object) for purchase order
detail lines that are left blank.
Use this AAI to determine the cost types (objects) that are allowed for
your contracts.
Use this AAI to determine a range of valid cost types for your contracts.
Use this AAI to determine which retention payable account to use when you are
creating contracts that include retainage.
If you do not specify a company, the system uses the default company number
(00000). You should set the default company account as the account most
commonly used by companies on your system. Then you only need to set up
distinct PCRETN AAIs for companies with different accounts.
Retainage records that are created by the Progress Payments form require the
object account associated with the PCRETN AAI to hold retained balances. You
must define the PCRETN AAI before Progress Payments can create retainage
vouchers.
Use this AAI to determine the account for deferred VAT payables. If you do not
set up this AAI, the G/L post ignores the deferred VAT when both of the
following are true:
If you do not specify a company, the system uses the default company number
(00000). You should set the default company account as the account most
commonly used by companies on your system. Then you only need to set up
distinct PCVATP AAIs for companies with different accounts.
When you release retainage, this AAI reverses debits and credits with the
PTVATD AAI.
Use this AAI to determine the account for deferred VAT recoverables. If you do
not set up this AAI, the G/L post ignores the deferred VAT when both of the
following are true:
You must follow these guidelines on the Automatic Accounting Instructions form
when you set up your PTVATD AAIs:
If you do not specify a company, the system uses the default company number
(00000). You should set the default company account as the account most
commonly used by companies on your system. Then you only need to set up
distinct PTVATD AAIs for companies with different accounts.
When you release retainage, this AAI reverses debits and credits with the
PCVATP AAI.
Use this AAI to determine the default cost types (objects) for your contracts.
If you define a CD AAI for a contract type, the system automatically supplies the
cost type associated with the CD AAI.
Use this AAI to determine the allowable cost types (objects)for your contracts.
The second two characters indicate the contract type, such as OS and OP.
You must create a separate CT AAI for each contract type. You must also
define the contract types in the user defined code table (00/DT) for
document types. See Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld
Foundation Guide for more information about setting up user defined
codes.
The last two characters must be a numeric value from 01 to 99. This value
uniquely identifies each valid cost type within the contract type.
Do not assign company, business unit, or subsidiary to the CT AAIs.
If you define more than one CT AAI for a contract type, the system does not
supply a cost type. You must enter a cost type for each commitment. The system
compares the cost type that you enter against the CT AAIs for the contract type
to ensure that the cost type is valid.
Use this AAI to determine a range of valid cost types for your contracts.
If you use base agreements, you must set up a range of CR AAIs for your
base agreement contract types. For example, if your base agreement
contract type is defined as BC, you must set up a CRBCxx range of AAIs.
The last two characters must be a numeric value from 01 to 99. These
values must always occur in sequential pairs that represent ranges. For
example, CROP01 is associated with CROP02, CROS97 is associated with
CROS98, and so on.
Do not assign company, business unit, or subsidiary to the CR AAIs.
When you enter a cost type for your contracts, the system first compares it to the
CT AAIs and then compares it to the CR AAIs to ensure that the cost type is
valid.

J.D. Edwards reserves several prefixes for document types,
such as vouchers, invoices, receipts, and timesheets.
The reserved document type prefixes for codes are:
P Accounts payable documents
R Accounts receivable documents
T Time and Pay documents
I Inventory documents
O Ordering document types
The system creates offsetting entries as appropriate for
these document types when you post batches.
Field Explanation
G/L Cat A user defined code (41/9) that identifies the G/L offset
that system uses when it searches for the account to which
it posts the transaction. If you do not want to specify a
class code, you can enter **** (four asterisks) in this field.
You can use automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) to
predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for the
Inventory, Procurement, and Sales Order Management
systems. You might assign G/L class codes as follows:
IN20 Direct Ship Orders
IN60 Transfer Orders
IN80 Stock Sales
The system can generate accounting entries based upon a
single transaction. For example, a single sale of a stock
item can trigger the generation of accounting entries
similar to the following:
Sales-Stock (Debit) xxxxx.xx
A/R Stock Sales (Credit) xxxxx.xx
Posting Category: IN80
Stock Inventory (Debit) xxxxx.xx
Stock COGS (Credit) xxxxx.xx
The system uses the class code and the document type to
find the AAI.
Branch Plant An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by
business units to track equipment by responsible
department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries
if you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . FormĆspecific information . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you leave this field blank, the system uses the business
unit that you entered on the work order, in the Charge to
Cost Center field.
Field Explanation
Obj Acct The portion of a general ledger account that refers to the
division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials,
and equipment) into subcategories. For example, dividing
labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.
Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the
object account is set to 6 digits, J.D. Edwards recommends
that you use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is
not the same as entering 456, because if you enter 456,
the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6Ćdigit object.
Sub A subdivision of an object account. Subsidiary accounts
include more detailed records of the accounting activity
for an object account.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . FormĆspecific information . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you leave this field blank, the system uses the value you
entered on the work order in the Cost Code field.
You create tolerance rules to determine how much a detail line can change
before it exceeds tolerance. For example, you enter a receipt for which the
quantity exceeds more than 10 percent of the quantity entered on the purchase
order. You can have the system prevent the transaction for exceeding tolerance.
You create tolerance rules to specify the number or percentage by which the
following values can change:
Quantity
Unit cost
Extended amount
Receiving
Creating vouchers
Creating purchase orders through requisition consolidation and blanket
release
If a detail line exceeds tolerance, the system either displays an error message or
prevents you from entering the transaction, depending on how you set the
processing options. During voucher match, you can also specify that the system
assign a pay status code to lines exceeding tolerance.
If you do not specify a percentage or amount for the quantity, unit cost, and
extended amount categories, the system will not perform tolerance checking for
the category that you leave blank. The system performs tolerance checking only
for transactions that exceed the tolerance rule range.
You can prevent the system from allowing any tolerance by specifying a zero
tolerance. When you choose the option to enter a zero tolerance for a
percentage or amount, you cannot receive, voucher, or release over the amount
on the original purchase order line.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Tolerance Rules.
Field Explanation
Function(Program) A user defined code (system 43/type FT) identifying the
function for which the tolerance rule is defined.
Field Explanation
Commodity Class A code (table 41/P1) that represents an item property type
or classification, such as commodity type, planning family,
or so forth. The system uses this code to sort and process
like items.
This field is one of six classification categories available
primarily for purchasing purposes.
Tolerance Percentage Percentage above which the system accepts a purchase
order line without issuing a warning message. The
percentage is based on the line quantity and is used
during the receiving process. If you leave this field blank,
the system does not perform tolerance checking.
Enter this percentage in whole numbers. For example,
enter 10% as 10.
Tolerance Units Number of units above which the system accepts a
purchase order line without issuing a warning message.
The unit is based on the line quantity and is used during
the receiving process. If you leave this field blank, the
system does not perform tolerance checking.
Tolerance Percentage Tolerance percentage above which the system accepts a
purchase order line without issuing a warning message.
The percentage is based on the line price and is used
during the receiving process. If you leave this field blank,
the system does not perform tolerance checking.
Enter the percentage as a whole number. For example,
enter 10% as 10.
Tolerance Amount Tolerance amount above which the system accepts a
purchase order line without issuing a warning message.
The amount is based on the line price and is used during
the receiving process. If you leave this field blank, the
system does not perform tolerance checking.
Tolerance Percentage Tolerance percentage above which the system accepts a
purchase order line for the commodity without issuing a
warning message. The percentage is based on the line
price and is used during the matching process. If you
leave this field blank, the system does not perform
tolerance checking.
Enter the percentage as a whole number. For example,
enter 10% as 10.
Tolerance Amount Tolerance amount above which the system accepts a
purchase order line for the commodity can be accepted
without issuing a warning message. The amount is based
on the line price and is used during the matching process.
If you leave this field blank, the system does not perform
tolerance checking.
You can put an order on hold to prevent it from being processed. When you
assign a hold code to an order, the system does not allow you to process the
order until you release the hold.
You must set up the individual hold codes that you intend to assign to orders.
Each hold code can identify a certain type of hold. For example, you might set
up a hold code to identify orders that exceed budget. You might set up another
hold code to identify orders that exceed the maximum order amount.
There are also predefined systemĆassigned hold codes. The system will
automatically assign budget holds to orders if you set processing options for the
Purchase Order Entry program accordingly. The system will also assign a hold
code to an order if you have entered a hold code for the supplier.
You can specify the person who is responsible for reviewing and releasing a
certain type of order hold. You must specify a password for each hold code.
Only those individuals who know the password can release an order to which
the hold code is assigned.
- Verify that you have set up hold codes in user defined code table 42/HC.
See Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide
for more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Order Hold
Information.
Alternately, from the Subcontract System Setup menu (G43D41), choose Order
Hold Information.
2. On Order Hold Information, complete the following fields for each hold
code:
Hold Code
Branch/Plant
Person Responsible
Password
Field Explanation
Hold Code A user defined code (42/HC) that identifies why an order
was placed on hold (for example, credit, budget, or
margin standards were exceeded).
Person Responsible The address book number of the person who is
responsible for reviewing and releasing orders placed on
hold.
Password A series of characters that you must enter before the
system updates a table. In the Distribution systems, the
password secures commissions setup and the release of
held orders. Only users with access to the password can
release an order. The system does not display the
password on the form. You should not enter blanks
anywhere in the password.

Landed costs are costs that exceed the purchase price of an item. They are
generally associated with the expected delivery charges of an order, but might
also be for broker fees, commissions, and so on.
You can assign landed costs to a specific item and branch/plant or to a cost rule
(a group of landed costs to which you assign a name). After you create a cost
rule, you can assign it to an inventory item, a supplier, a purchase order, or a
detail line. By assigning landed costs, you can track the actual cost of purchasing
an item.
When you assign landed costs to an item or cost rule, you define the calculation
for each landed cost on a per item basis. You can add landed costs for an item
based on:
The general ledger class code determines the general ledger accounts for which
the system creates journal entries for landed costs. You use AAI tables 4385 and
4390 to specify landed cost accounts.
The system searches for landed costs that apply to a detail line in the following
order:
You determine at which point the system adds landed costs to a detail line. For
example, you can add landed costs during the receipt process, the voucher
match process, or as a standĆalone process.
- Set up the landed cost rules in user defined code table 41/P5. See
Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for
more information about setting up user defined codes.
- Set up the landed cost level in user defined code table 40/CA. See
Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for
more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Landed Cost
Revisions.
Field Explanation
Landed Cost Rule A user defined code (41/P5) that indicates the landed cost
rule for an item. The landed cost rule determines
purchasing costs that exceed the actual price of an item,
such as broker fees or commissions. You set up landed
cost rules on the Landed Cost Revisions form.
Cost Level User defined code (table 40/CA) designating an addĆon
cost. This code also specifies the sequence of the cost
addĆons for a particular item or group of items.
Percent of Cost Percentage of the item's primary purchasing cost that the
system add as a landed cost component to the base cost
of the item as indicated on a purchase order.
Plus Amount An amount to be added to the indicated cost to equal the
total cost amount.
Weight Rate The system multiplies the rate you add to this field by the
unit weight you specify for an inventory item to calculate
a landed cost component.
Volume Rate The system multiplies the rate you add to this field by the
unit volume you specify for an inventory item to calculate
a landed cost component.
Based on Level User defined code (table 40/CA) designating the basis of
cost for an item. If you use this code, you can roll costs
based on a previous level total.
Include in Cost (Y/N) Indicate whether you want the landed cost to be added to
the item's unit cost. Valid values are:
Y Add the landed cost to the unit cost
N Do not add the landed cost to the unit cost
Field Explanation
Voucher Y/N Code indicating whether the landed cost is to be displayed
during Voucher Match or not. The possible values are as
follows:
Y A receipt record (F43121) is created, and the
landed cost may be vouchered in the Voucher
Match program. The Landed Cost Code (LAND)
field in the receipt record will contain a value of
2.
N A receipt record (F43121) is created, but the
landed cost is not allowed to be vouchered in
the Voucher Match program. The Landed Cost
Code (LAND) field in the receipt record will
contain a value of 3. The receipt record is
necessary if the receipt is reversed.
NOTE: Journal entries are still created when the value is
N. As a result, you may want the Landed Cost AAI's
(4385/4390) pointed to the same G/L account, in order to
cancel out the entries.
You can define information for items that you do not account for as part of your
inventory. You add and maintain nonĆstock item information only at the item
level, not at the branch/plant level. The NonĆstock Item Master Information form
is similar to the Item Master Information form. However, it contains only those
fields that pertain to nonĆstock items.
Operating Resources are the nonĆstock goods and services and other internal
business processes a company manages that are necessary for the dayĆtoĆday
operations of an enterprise. Examples of operating resources include:
Services Maintenance
Advertising
Capital services
Contracts
Printing
Recruiting and outplacement
You can access additional forms that allow you to define and maintain further
information about a nonĆstock item, including:
For each nonĆstock item that you set up, the system creates a record in the Item
Master table (F4101).
Field Explanation
Product Number A number that identifies the item. The system provides
three separate item numbers plus an extensive
crossĆreference capability to alternate item numbers. These
item numbers are:

explanation.
Unit of Measure A user defined code (00/UM) that identifies the unit of
measure that the system uses to express the quantity of an
item, for example, EA (each) or KG (kilogram).
Field Explanation
Line Type A code that controls how the system processes lines on a
transaction. It controls the systems with which the
transaction interfaces, such as General Ledger, Job Cost,
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Inventory
Management. It also specifies the conditions under which
a line prints on reports and is included in calculations.
Codes include the following:
S Stock item

for more information about setting up user defined codes.
From the Purchasing System Setup menu (G43A41), choose Order Model Log
Revisions.
Alternately, from the Subcontract System Setup menu (G43D41), choose Order
Model Log Revisions.
Field Explanation
Model Log A ten digit user defined code (43/ML) that represents one
model and distinguishes the model from other models.
The model logs are accessible under this name.
Log Type A user defined code (00/LG) that specifies the type of
information in a log entry. The log type is used to group
similar types of entries.
Field Explanation
Status Type A code that specifies whether the requirements for the log
line have been satisfied. Valid values are:
Y Yes, the requirements have been satisfied.
N No, the requirements have not been satisfied.
Blank The requirements have not been satisfied, the
log line is not yet in effect, or no status is
required.
Explanation -Remark- A name or remark that describes an element in the J.D.
Edwards systems.
Issue Date The date that the log entry was issued. For example, for a
submittal requirement for an insurance cerificate, the
effective date for the insurance policy would be entered in
the Issue Date field.
Expired Date The expiration date of the log entry. For example, in the
case of a submittal requirement for an insurance
certificate,, the termination date for the policy would be
entered in the Expired Date field. The termination date
would then be used by the Submittal Status Update
program to update the status field. If the Expired Date is
earlier than the date that you run the program, the system
sets the status to N for the log entry.
PE A code that indicates whether the submittal requirement is
of such importance that regular payments to the
subcontractor can be suspended if the submittal
requirement is not properly satisfied. This code is
normally used in conjunction with submittal log entries.
Valid values are:
Y Issue warning messages if log requirements are
not met.
N Do not issue warning messages.
If Pay Effect is set to Y, various warning messages can
appear during progress payment entry when outstanding
log requirements exist.
Cat Cde1 A user defined category code associated with log
information.
Cat Cde2 A user defined category code associated with log
information.
Cat Cde3 A user defined category code associated with log
information.
ID Code An identification code associated with the log entry. The
field may be used for abbreviated report identification.
Address Number The address book number of the supplier from whom you
are purchasing items or services.
Advanced and technical operations for the Procurement system include the
following tasks:
- Purging data
After you install a new release of the J.D. Edwards Procurement system, you
must run the Supplier Analysis Regeneration program to update supplier and
item analysis records. The procedure updates new fields in the Supplier/Item
Relationships table (F43090) based on the receipt data in the Purchase Order
Receiver table (F43121).
When you use the Supplier Analysis Regeneration procedure to update the
supplier and item analysis records, you can assign a route code for new
supplier/item relationships.
After you run the Supplier Analysis Regeneration program, you can have the
system maintain supplier analysis information interactively when you enter
purchase orders, receipts, and vouchers.
Caution: You should only run the Supplier Analysis Regeneration program
when installing a new release of J.D. Edwards. If data becomes corrupted at a
later date and you need to update your records, contact the J.D. Edwards Help
Desk for assistance.
From the System Administration Tools menu (GH9011), choose Batch Versions.
On Batch Versions, enter R890401E in the Batch Application field to access Euro
Address Book Conversion Ć F0401.
To convert limit amounts for multiple suppliers from one currency to another,
you can run the Euro Address Book Conversion Ć F0401 program. This
conversion program was originally designed for Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU) companies to use during the euro transition period, however, it can be
used by companies outside of the EMU as well. For example, companies can use
the conversion program to convert the currency code and address book amounts
for multiple suppliers from French francs to the euro, as well as from U.S. dollars
to Canadian dollars.
The Euro Address Book Conversion Ć F0401 program converts supplier currency
codes and address book amounts. In the Procurement system, the address book
amounts are the supplier limit amounts for minimum and maximum order
values. This document describes how the conversion program converts and
rounds limit amounts for minimum and maximum order values. For additional
information about the Euro Address Book Conversion program, see Converting
Supplier Currency Codes and Amounts in the Accounts Payable Guide.
When you enter minimum and maximum order values for a supplier, you
typically enter them as rounded numbers, which are stored without decimals in
the Supplier Master table (F0401). When you convert minimum and maximum
order values to a different currency, you must specify a rounding factor amount
in the processing options. For example, to round converted minimum and
maximum order amounts to the nearest 50, you specify a rounding factor of 50.
To round converted amounts to the nearest 100, you specify a rounding factor of
100, and so on.
The Euro Address Book Conversion Ć F0401 program rounds converted limit
amounts when converting from Canadian dollars (CAD) to U.S. dollars (USD).
For this example, the exchange rate is 1 CAD = .67092 USD and the rounding
factor in the processing option is 50.
Round Up
The conversion program converts 12,000 CAD to 17,886 USD. It rounds 17,886
up to 17,900 based on the following calculation:
In this example, 17,886 USD / 50 = 357 with a remainder of 36, which is greater
than oneĆhalf of 50 (25). Subtract 36 from 50 (50 - 36 = 14) and add 14 to 17,886
to get a rounded value of 17,900.
Round Down
The conversion program converts 8,000 CAD to 11,924 USD. It rounds 11,924
USD down, based on the following calculation:
In this example, 11,924 USD / 50 = 238 with a remainder 24, which is less than
oneĆhalf of 50 (25). Subtract 24 from 11,924 to get a rounded value of 11,900.
You can generate new supplier prices in a different currency and amount for
multiple records at one time. The Generate Purchase Price by Currency program
creates new prices based on existing records. To create a new price for an
individual record, you can manually update the existing record on the Supplier
Catalog Maintenance form. You do not have to run this program.
When you generate new supplier prices in a different currency, you control the
currency and exchange rate in which to create new prices by specifying the
following in the processing options:
The Generate Purchase Price by Currency program creates only one new price
for each unit of measure. It does not create one price for each currency. If a
price already exists for a certain currency, the generation program does not
create another price in that currency because both records would have the same
key. The exception to this rule is when currency codes associated with a
supplier, item, or branch/plant have different effective through dates. Depending
on the dates, the generation program might create more than one new price.
You can run the Generate Purchase Price by Currency program in the following
modes:
Proof. Run the program in proof mode and review the audit report to
ensure that the records generated by the program are the records in which
you want new prices. If the audit report is not accurate, change the
processing option and data selection values accordingly and rerun the
program in proof mode.
Final. When you are satisfied with the audit report, run the program in
final mode. Review the newly created prices on the audit report and the
Supplier Catalog Maintenance form. Notice that the new record is
sequenced alphabetically along with the existing records on the form and
that amounts are rounded according to the decimal places set up in the
data dictionary. If necessary, adjust new prices manually on the Supplier
Catalog Maintenance. For example, if the program creates a new price for
50,000 JPY as 675.1155 CAD, you might adjust the new amount to 675
CAD.
Data Selection
Typically, companies will generate new supplier prices for all suppliers within a
specific branch/plant. If your company has multiple branch/plants with different
currencies, you can run the generation program multiple times. You can also
generate new supplier prices by item number or any other value in the data
selection.
If your company has items that are at purchase price level 1 and you want to
make sure you generate new prices for those items, designate *blanks for
branch/plant in the data selection if you are not using *all for branch/plant.

When data becomes obsolete or you need more disk space, you can use purge
programs to remove data from files.
OneWorld provides purges for removing data from files where the selection
criteria needs to be specific. Purges are programs that have predefined criteria
that the system checks before removing any data so that you avoid removing
associated data that is located in other files.
Caution: You must know the proper procedures and consequences of purging
data to avoid serious damage to your system and data. Purging data is typically
performed by a system administrator or operations personnel. It is important that
only those employees who understand the purging process and its results are
allowed access to this procedure.

PO Headers (F4301)
PO Text Lines (F4311)
Considerations
When you run the PO Headers purge, the system purges records only if
there are no active detail lines. Therefore, before you run the PO Headers
purge, you should run the PO Detail purge.
Unlike the other purge programs, the PO Text Lines purge does not delete
data. The program moves text lines to a status of 999 for an order that is
closed.
To run the PO Text Lines purge, you submit a batch job using the Work
with Versions form. You run the PO Text Lines purge the same way that
you run reports or any other type of batch job in OneWorld.
- J.D. Edwards recommends that you create your own purge environment,
which allows you to save purged records and prevents the records from
being overwritten when you upgrade the software.
- Verify that no users are working with the data that you want to purge.
To purge data
Use the following procedure to run any of the purge programs in Procurement
(with the exception of the PO Text Lines purge).
1. Choose the appropriate purge program from the Data File Purges menu
(G43A311).
2. Choose a version and click Select.
3. On Table Conversion Prompting, choose the Properties option.
4. On the Properties window, choose the Select Environments tab.
5. Choose the From and To environments, which allow you to select the
environment to purge data from and the environment in which to store
purged data.
6. Choose the Data Selection tab and specify the information to purge.
If you leave this processing option blank, the system deletes all
purged records.
For the second processing option, enter a new name for the
environment that stores purged records. By renaming the
environment before you run a purge program, you can store the
records from each purge separately. Otherwise, the system
overwrites the data each time that you run the purge program.
For the third processing option, enter the name of the data source
for the purged records.
8. To run the purge program, click OK. To exit without running the purge
program, click Cancel.
Inbound Transactions
In an inbound transaction, you accept data from another system into OneWorld.
Interoperability for inbound transactions consists of the following tasks:
1. The external system sends data to the OneWorld interface tables, which
hold the data before it is copied to the application tables. The external
system is responsible for conforming to the format and other requirements
for the interface tables. If the external system cannot write the information
in the required format, it can write the data to a flat file, and you can use
the OneWorld Inbound Flat File Conversion program to convert the data
to the required format.
2. You run a transaction process (a batch program) that validates the data,
updates valid data from the interface tables to the OneWorld application
tables, and sends action messages to the Employee Work Center about
invalid data.
3. You use an inquiry function to interactively review and revise the incorrect
data, and then run the transaction process again. You repeat this step as
often as needed to correct errors.
Outbound Transactions
See Also
External systems can use a variety of methods to send data to the interoperability
interface tables. One method is to write the data to a flat file. If you use this
method, the system converts the flat file to the interface table. For the system to
convert data from the flat file to the interface table, you must identify the
transaction, which includes the following information:
You can set a processing option to start the transaction process automatically
when the conversion completes successfully. The transaction process copies the
data from the interface tables to the application tables, from which OneWorld
applications can access the data.
- Ensure that the flat file is a commaĆdelimited ASCII text (flat) file to which
the workstation has read and write access.
- Ensure that the data conforms to the required format. See Converting Data
from Flat Files into EDI Interface Tables in the Data Interface for Electronic
Data Interchange Guide for requirements.
When you set up flat file crossĆreference information, you must specify the
record types. Record types indicate the sort of information that is being
exchanged between OneWorld and external systems such as addresses, header
or detail transactions, text, or additional information.
You can review hardĆcoded record types in the user defined code table (00/RD).
The system uses these codes to identify the forms with which the system stores
information for inbound and outbound documents
You can add codes to the user defined code table (00/TT) to identify the
transactions that the system uses in the flat file crossĆreference. After you set up
the transaction type, you use the transaction type to identify whether the
information exchange is inbound or outbound and to identify the corresponding
applications and versions. You must set up transaction types before defining data
export controls and flat file crossĆreference information.
For every transaction type, you must set up data export controls. If you cannot
transfer or receive information with an external system, then you use the
transaction type when you set up flat file crossĆreference information.
See Also
See Customizing User Defined Codes in the OneWorld Foundation Guide for
more information about setting up user defined codes.
You define the export information for outbound transactions only. To set up data
export controls properly, you must indicate the transaction, document type,
batch application or function, and version from which the external system
retrieves information from the interface tables.
Function name and You can specify a vendorĆspecific function name and
library library to identify the external custom program that
accesses the OneWorld interface tables.
See Also
You can define data export control for either a vendorĆspecific batch
process or function. If you enter information in fields for vendorĆspecific
batch processors or functions, the system uses the batch process.
Field Explanation
Transaction A code that identifies a transaction by type.
Order Type A user defined code (00/DT) that identifies the type of
document. This code also indicates the origin of the
transaction. J.D. Edwards has reserved document type
codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post
program. (These entries are not selfĆbalancing when you
originally enter them.)
The following document types are defined by J.D.
Edwards and should not be changed:
P Accounts Payable documents
R Accounts Receivable documents
T Payroll documents
I Inventory documents
O Purchase Order Processing documents
J General Accounting/Joint Interest Billing
documents
S Sales Order Processing documents
OS Subcontract
OP Purchase Order
R2 Contract Billing
Field Explanation
UBE Name The OneWorld architecture is objectĆbased. This means
that discrete software objects are the building blocks for
all applications, and that developers can reuse the objects
in multiple applications. Each object is tracked by the
Object Librarian. Examples of OneWorld objects include:
Batch Applications (such as reports)
Interactive Applications
Business Views
Business Functions
Business Functions Data Structures
Event Rules
Media Object Data Structures
Function Name The name of the function.
Version A userĆdefined set of specifications that control how
applications and reports run. You use versions to group
and save a set of userĆdefined processing option values
and data selection and sequencing options. Interactive
versions are associated with applications (usually as a
menu selection). Batch versions are associated with batch
jobs or reports. To run a batch process, you must choose
a version.
Function Library The library for the function. This includes the path for the
directory where the library exists.
Execute For Add A code that determines whether the system uses the batch
application to process an added transaction record.
Valid values are:
1 Use batch application to process an added
transaction record
0 Do not use batch application to process an
added transaction record
Execute For Upd A code that determines whether the system uses the batch
application to process an updated transaction record.
Valid codes are:
1 Use batch application to process an updated
transaction record
0 Do not use batch application to process an
updated transaction record
Execute For Del A code that determines whether the system uses the batch
application to process a deleted transaction record.
Valid codes are:
1 Use batch application to process a deleted
transaction record
0 Do not use batch application to process a
deleted transaction record
Launch Immediately This field controls the immediate execution of a batch job.
If the field is set to a 1, the job will execute immediately.
Field Explanation
Flat File Exp Mode A code that determines whether the system exports the
transaction record to a flat file.
Valid codes are:
1 Export transaction record to a flat file
0 Do not export transaction record to a flat file
Ext API Exp Mode A code that determines whether the system exports the
transaction record to an external API.
Valid codes are:
1 Export transaction record to an external API
0 Do not export transaction record to an external
API
When you exchange data between OneWorld and an external system, you use
flat file crossĆreference information for the following conditions:
For inbound transactions, if the external system cannot write data to the
interface tables in the required format for OneWorld, the external system
can write the data to a specific flat file for each transaction and record
type.
For outbound transactions, if OneWorld cannot write data to the interface
tables in the format required by the external system, OneWorld can write
the data to a specific flat file for each transaction and record type.

The file name refers to the application table from which the system
exchanges information, as defined by the record type.
From the Purchasing Interoperability menu (G43A313), choose Inbound Flat File

Field Explanation
User ID The source of the transaction. This can be a user ID, a
workstation, the address of an external system, a node on
a network, and so on. This field helps identify both the
transaction and its point of origin.
Batch Number The number that the transmitter assigns to the batch.
During batch processing, the system assigns a new batch
number to the J.D. Edwards transactions for each control
(user) batch number it finds.
Transaction Number The number that an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
transmitter assigns to a transaction. In a nonĆEDI
environment, you can assign any number that is
meaningful to you to identify a transaction within a batch.
It can be the same as a J.D. Edwards document number.
You can use the processing log to review whether the system has processed
inbound and outbound transactions. With the processing log, you can review
whether a vendorĆspecific transaction has processed successfully. The processing
log contains key information from the Data Export Control table about the
interoperability transaction, such as the transaction type, order type, and
sequence number, batch process or function and corresponding version. The
system creates a record for every transaction that is processed in the outbound
process.
The information in the processing log is for review only and cannot be changed
in either the processing log or OneWorld applications.
See Also
You might send transactions you create or change in the Procurement system to
an external system. For example, you might need to send information about
changes on a purchase order to an external system.
You can send transactions from OneWorld to an external system using any of the
following interoperability methods:
Batch and subsystem All outbound master business functions used to create
process interoperability transactions have processing options that
control the interoperability transaction. For batch and
subsystem processing, you set up the processing options
in the appropriate business function version for
interoperability and then specify that application and
version in the data export controls.
The system places a copy of the transaction in the interface table for that type of
transaction. For example, for an outbound purchase order the system places a
copy of the transaction in the Order Header table (F4301Z1) and the Order
Detail table (F4311A1). The data is then available for an external system to use.
- Define the data export controls for the type of outbound transaction. The
system uses data export controls to determine the batch programs or
business processes that third parties supply for use in processing
transactions.

When data becomes obsolete or you need more disk space, you can use purge
programs to remove data from interoperability files.
The Procurement system contains a purge option for both inbound and
outbound transactions. Use the following purges to remove data from the
corresponding interoperability tables:

If your company wants to apply sales taxes automatically, you can use the
Vertex Quantum for Sales and Use Tax system (Quantum) with the following J.D.
Edwards systems:
General Accounting
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
Sales Order Management
Procurement
Customer Service Management System (CSMS)
Contract Billing
Service Billing
Caution: If you are using the J.D. Edwards Payroll system, you are required to
use the Quantum for Payroll Tax System. See Setting Up Tax Information in the
Payroll Guide.
Quantum software integrates with the J.D. Edwards OneWorld tax calculation
software, which means that you can perform tax calculations using either the
Quantum software, the J. D. Edwards tax calculation software, or both. However,
if you want to perform a taxĆonly calculation, you must use the J.D. Edwards
software.
When tax laws change, the Quantum software accesses the new requirements
for each taxing authority so that you can apply the taxes correctly. Quantum
software:
Quantum calculates tax based on the standard rates and rules for the U.S., its
territories and possessions, and Canada. To perform all other foreign tax
calculations, you have two options:
- Verify that you have access to the following Vertex documentation for
Quantum for Sales and Use Tax for additional information:
The interface between J.D. Edwards systems and Quantum software transfers
selected J.D. Edwards parameters to Quantum and then returns tax information
to J.D. Edwards systems.
The standard J.D. Edwards tax calculation software components can be used
with Quantum in the following ways:
Tax authorities You use tax authorities within J.D. Edwards software to
define the government agencies that assess and collect
taxes. You define tax authorities in the J.D. Edwards tax
processing system only for international tax authorities
because those for the U.S. and Canada are stored by
Quantum.
Tax rates and tax areas For U.S. and Canadian taxes, you specify a GeoCode for
each tax rate and tax area to allow Quantum to identify
the correct taxing jurisdictions.
Automatic Accounting For U.S. and Canadian taxes, you use the AAI code PT _ _
Instructions (AAIs) _ _ for the company.
Tax rules by company You can define tax rules for the Accounts Receivable,
Accounts Payable, Sales Order Management, Procurement,
CSMS, General Accounting, Contract Billing, and Service
Billing systems. When you enter transactions for these
systems, taxes are calculated according to these rules. The
system uses these tax rules to:
Calculate discounts on a gross amount that already
includes tax.
Calculate tax on a gross amount that includes the
discount amount.
Control when the system displays a warning message
(or rejects a transaction altogether) when someone
enters a tax that differs from the systemĆcalculated tax.
This does not apply to E, S, and U tax types.
This feature applies to taxes for all countries.
Tax explanation codes Tax explanation codes control how a tax is assessed and
how it is distributed to the general ledger revenue and
expense accounts. J.D. Edwards software provides a
number of tax explanation codes. Tax codes E, S, and U
are predefined for Quantum software. Because the tax
explanation code is a user defined code (00/EX), you can
set up additional codes to meet specific business needs;
however, the Quantum interface recognizes only tax codes
E, S, and U.
Quantum Components
The Quantum for Sales and Use Tax system includes the following components:
Rate and GeoCode Data The data modules store tax rates and other pertinent
Modules jurisdictional tax data for all U.S. and Canadian tax
authorities, which include over 66,000 locations. All states
and counties are on file, as well as all cities with
populations over 250. If a city has a population less than
250 and levies a tax, that city is also included in the data
modules.
Tax Decision Maker The Tax Decision Maker Engine interfaces with J.D.
Engine Edwards Sales Order Management, Procurement, Accounts
Receivable, Accounts Payable, CSMS, Contract Billing and
Service Billing systems.
Quantum Tax Register From the Quantum Register file, the Tax Decision Maker
file Engine produces detail and summary sales tax register
reports sequenced by state, county, and city for any billing
period. You generate these reports from Quantum menus.
Interface Considerations
Before you set up the J.D. Edwards/Quantum Sales Tax Interface to reflect your
environment, carefully consider the specific conditions and requirements of the
company, the product, the customer or supplier, and international tax
obligations.
Company and You should understand any special dispensations that the
Divisional company has arranged with state or local jurisdictions for
Considerations collecting sales and use taxes at a reduced rate. Then,
consider whether tax returns are filed for just one
company or for multiple companies.
Product Considerations You should understand the business and how products fit
into appropriate tax categories. For example, rebuilt
machinery might be taxed differently than spare parts for
the same machinery. Decide how the company intends to
set up the taxing policies for J.D. Edwards and Quantum
software.
Customer and Supplier You must properly identify the tax category to which
Considerations customers and suppliers belong. For example, a customer
might be a provider of goods or services, a reseller, a
charitable organization, or other tax group. Decide how
you will set up customers and suppliers into both the J.D.
Edwards and Quantum software modules.
If your company wants to apply sales taxes automatically, you can use Quantum
software along with the J.D. Edwards system. Quantum software can coexist
with the J.D. Edwards tax calculator software, which means that you can
perform tax calculations using either system or both of them. However, if you
want to perform a taxĆonly calculation, you must use the J.D. Edwards software.
- Activating Quantum
- Review order line types. See Setting Up Order Line Types in the Sales
Order Management and Procurement Guides.
- Review order activity rules. See Setting Up Order Activity Rules in the Sales
Order Management and Procurement Guides.
Tax only calculations For tax only calculations, use tax types ST (sales tax) and
UT (use tax) along with the J.D. Edwards tax rate/area
code. You cannot use these tax types with a Quantum
GeoCode.
Returns Module If you plan to use the Quantum Sales Tax Returns
Module, you should install it after performing all other
setup steps.
Activating Quantum
You must activate the Quantum interface prior to using the Quantum system
with J.D. Edwards OneWorld software.
To activate Quantum
From the Vertex Quantum Sales and Use Tax menu (G731), choose Constants.

Interface uses for Division/Store Code for Use Tax. The
Address Book Category Code is passed to Quantum and
matched to the Division/Store Code in the Quantum Tax
Decision Maker module.
Customer Class Code The Address Book Category Code that the Quantum Tax
Interface uses for Customer Class Code for Use Tax. The
Customer Class Code is passed to Quantum and matched
to the Customer Class Code in the Quantum Tax Decision
Maker module.
Product Category/ID The Item Branch/Plant Category Code that the Quantum
Tax Interface uses for Product Category/ID for Use Tax.
The Item Branch/Plant Category Code is passed to
Quantum and matched to the Product Category/ID field
in the Quantum Tax Decision Maker module.
After you activate Quantum and set the country codes, J.D. Edwards
recommends that you conduct a test to determine whether you have
successfully connected to the Quantum system.
- You must exit and restart OneWorld in order for the constants settings to
take effect.
You might want to review the values you send to the Quantum interface, and
then review the values generated by Quantum after processing. The Quantum
Logging feature provides you with the ability to review these Before and After
values.
The Quantum Logging feature creates a twoĆpage text file with the Before
values you send on the first page, and the After values Quantum generates on
the second page.
Caution: Use this feature with caution, because two pages of data are printed
for every transaction going though the Tax Calculator for all users. Keeping this
feature turned on after initial testing and setup negatively impacts system
performance.
From the Vertex Quantum Sales and Use Tax menu (G731), choose Constants.
2. On Quantum Debug Log, complete the following fields and click OK:

about Quantum Logging
You must create AAIs for each unique combination of company, transaction,
document type, and G/L class (G/L offset account) that you want to use. Each
AAI is associated with a specific G/L account that consists of a business unit, an
object, and optionally, a subsidiary.
If you are required to collect taxes on customer invoices, you must distribute
the tax amounts to the correct G/L accounts. When you set up AAIs for a
specific type of tax, such as VAT or use tax, you designate the accounts to debit
and credit for an invoice tax amount. The AAIs, PT_ _ _ _ (for payables) and
RT_ _ _ _ (for receivables), are used only for taxes. The system is hard coded to
look at the tax AAIs for the company. The system uses the state code prefix of
the GeoCode as a subsidiary to search the Account Master (F0901) for the
appropriate G/L account. If none is found, the system uses the business unit
and object account in the company.
When you set up AAIs to use Quantum, you can set up G/L accounts by state.
You must add the state code value as the subsidiary of the base account. During
the post process, the system verifies the state code against the GeoCodes to
search for the proper account.
OneWorld identifies the proper G/L account according the following hierarchy:
1. The system retrieves the Business Unit and Object that the PT_ _ _ _ or
RT_ _ _ _. AAIs indicate based on the company on the invoice or
voucher.
2. The system retrieves the value in the State portion of the GeoCode.
3. The system attaches the State value to the Business Unit and Object as the
Subsidiary.
4. The system searches the Account Master for that Business Unit, Object,
and Subsidiary combination. If found, the system uses this account
combination as the G/L account.
5. If still not found, the system searches the Account Master using just the
Business Unit and Object. If found, the system uses this account
combination as the G/L account.
6. If still not found, it searches the Account Master using the Business Unit
and Object for Company 00000 for that particular PT_ _ _ _ or RT_ _ _ _
AAI. If found, the system uses this account combination as the G/L
account.
See Also
The Quantum interface uses a user defined code (UDC) table (73/ST) that
contains all of the address book Search Types that have GeoCodes assigned to
them or that can have their GeoCodes revised. GeoCodes can be assigned only
if the Search Type on the address book record is found in the GeoCode
Assignment Search Type UDC table.
Typically, people who use Quantum set up the following Search Types:
C Ć Customer
V Ć Supplier
E Ć Employee
F Ć Facilities
Quantum processes the taxing of both stock and nonĆstock items. Stock items
are typically products that need to have records in the J.D. Edwards Inventory
Master tables (F4101 and F4102). NonĆstock items are not required to have
records in these master tables, but still can exist on an order and have taxes
assigned to them. For both stock and nonĆstock items, Quantum looks for a
value for the Product Category/ID and Transaction Type to be used in the TDM.
You can specify a Quantum product category or a Quantum transaction type for
each order type and line type combination. The Quantum product category is
used for product exceptions in TDM. The Quantum transaction type indicates to
Quantum the type of transaction that is being processed (for example, sales,
purchase, rental, or service) so Quantum can apply the appropriate tax type.
For stock items, the Product Category/ID is typically derived from the Category
Code on the Item Branch/Plant record. The Transaction Type is usually derived
from the System Code of the order. For Accounts Payable and Procurement, the
Transaction Type is PURCH, and for Accounts Receivable and Sales Order
Management, the Transaction Type is SALE.
For nonĆstock order lines (such as freight or lease charges), use the NonĆStock
Product Categories program (P7307) to specify the Product Category/ID and
Transaction Type.
From Vertex Quantum Sales and Use Tax menu (G731), choose NonĆStock
Product Categories.
1. The system scans the value in the Item Balance Category field of the
Quantum Constants.
If the field is blank, the system goes to step 2.
If the field is not blank, the system goes to step 3.
2. If the value in the Item Balance Category field of the Quantum Constants
is blank:
The system goes to the Quantum NonĆStock Product Categories
table (F7307) and uses the Document Type and Line Type of the
order.
If a record exists in the F7307 table for that Document Type
and Line Type combination, the system uses the Product
Category/ID and Transaction Type corresponding to that
record.
To apply tax to the sales or purchase of an item, you perform two tasks to
specify that the item is taxable:
Activate the tax fields for the item on Item Branch/Plant Information to
yes.
Assign the item to a tax category.
In Quantum, the tax category corresponds to product categories that you define
in Tax Decision Maker (TDM) for any special tax exceptions or overrides. For
example, when you sell a stock item, the J.D. Edwards Sales Order Management
system passes the tax category code to the Quantum system.
Before Quantum calculates the tax, it compares the tax category code to TDM
product categories. If it finds a match (for example, the TDM setting for the
category) taxable, exempt, or otherwise, it dictates how Quantum specifies a
tax. If it does not find a match, Quantum taxes the item at the standard rate for
that jurisdiction.
Taxes are calculated for items only if the customer is also taxable. If the value in
the taxable field is No, the system writes the transaction to the Quantum Tax
Register as exempt.
1. On Work With Item Branch, locate the item whose tax information you
want to define.
2. Complete the following fields:
Sales Taxable
Purchasing Taxable
3. Access Item Branch Class Codes.
4. On Item Branch Class Codes, complete fields as follows:
For sales tax, complete the field that corresponds to the value that
you specified in the Item Balance Category field under Sales Tax
Category Code on the Quantum Tax System Constants form.
For use tax, complete the field that corresponds to the value you
specified in the Item Balance Category field under Use Tax
Category Code on the Quantum Tax System Constants form.
After you activate the Vertex Quantum for Sales and Use Tax system, you must
assign GeoCodes to existing address book records. That is, you must set up
GeoCodes for every customer, supplier, Ship To, Ship From, warehouse, or
branch/plant in the address book. The Tax Decision Maker Engine uses
GeoCodes to calculate sales and use taxes for each customer and specific
location.
XXYYYZZZZ
where
XX = State
YYY = County
ZZZZ = City
You can assign GeoCodes to address book records manually or by using a batch
program. You should start with the batch program to complete as many address
book records as possible. Then, after reviewing the resulting report, you can
use the manual process to change GeoCodes, if necessary. You can also use the
manual process to assign a GeoCode to a new address book record.
If you use Quantum for Sales and Use Tax, the Tax Rate/Area field in the J.D.
Edwards master and transaction tables are used to store the assigned GeoCode.
However, a client can choose to use the Quantum tax system as well as the J.D.
Edwards tax system.
To distinguish GeoCodes from J.D. Edwards tax area codes, each GeoCode is
prefixed with V, M, or O within J.D. Edwards systems:
O (Outside City Limits) If an address that is specified in the address book record
is not physically located within the city limits and
therefore is not subject to city tax, you must manually
change the first character of the GeoCode from V to O.
This indicates to Quantum not to calculate the city tax for
that GeoCode.
Additionally, you can set up the Quantum Override table to maintain tax rates
for each nonĆU.S. or nonĆCanadian taxing authority.
- Verify that you have set up the address book search types in the user
defined code table (73/ST) for GeoCode assignments. When you update
GeoCodes, the system determines which address book records to update
with GeoCodes based on the search type.
You can use the following batch processes to update GeoCode information in
multiple address book records:
From the Vertex GeoCode Tax Processing menu (G731), choose Update Address
Book GeoCodes.
Use the Update Address Book GeoCodes (R730101) program to add GeoCodes
to existing address book records. The system stores the GeoCode in the Tax
Rate/Area field of either the Customer Master Information (F03012) table or the
Supplier Master Information (F0401) table.
When you perform a batch address book record update, the system populates
the Tax Rate/Area field with the appropriate GeoCode. The system does not
enter a value in the field if:
The system produces reports that specify the number of GeoCodes that were
not updated. The GeoCodes are categorized by the type of issue that prevented
them from being updated. Additionally, the system sends messages to the Work
Center that identify unmatched records. Messages in the Work Center are sent to
the person that is processing the batch report, based on the User ID. For
example, when an address book record can have more than one GeoCode
assigned to it, the system does not match the address book record with a
GeoCode. Use these reports and messages to identify any address book records
that were not updated with GeoCodes. You will need to manually update those
records.
From the A/B Advanced Technical Operations menu (G0131), choose Effective
Address Update.
When you run the Effective Address Update, the system verifies effective dates
of addresses and updates corresponding supplier and customer records
accordingly. The system stores the GeoCode in the Tax Rate/Area field of either
When you perform a batch update based on effective dates, the system
populates the Tax Rate/Area field with the appropriate GeoCode. The Effective
Address Update does not update the Supplier Master and Customer Master
records if the:
The system produces reports that show both unmatched records and records
that you might want to match. Additionally, the system sends messages to the
Work Center that identify unmatched records. Messages in the Work Center are
sent to the person that is processing the batch report, based on the User ID. For
example, when an address book record can have more than one GeoCode
assigned to it, the system does not match the address book record with a
GeoCode. Use these reports to identify any address book records that were not
updated with GeoCodes. You will need to manually update those records.
The system assigns a GeoCode to the Business Unit Master, Supplier Master, and
Customer Master records based on the following fields in the mailing address
for the corresponding address book record:
City
State
Postal Code
County
You might have to manually change or assign GeoCodes for the following
reasons:
Records were not updated when you ran the Update Address Book
GeoCodes and Effective Address Update processes due to data errors.
A multiĆcounty situation exists for an address book record.
The address falls outside city limits.
You have added a new address book record for a customer or supplier.
An existing Address Book Record was changed.
When an address book record can have more than one GeoCode assigned to it,
you use the Search and Select form to choose a GeoCode. The Quantum
GeoCode Select form lists all possible GeoCodes that correspond to county
names and postal code ranges.
When you change an address, the system updates any existing GeoCodes. If the
address change results in a different GeoCode, the system also updates the Tax
Rate/Area field on the Customer Master Information (F03012) and Supplier
Master Information (F0401) tables. If any of the following conditions exist, the
Tax Rate/Area field is not updated:
Depending on the type of address book record, perform one of the following
tasks to assign GeoCodes to business units, suppliers, and customers:
Note: When you access the Search and Select Window from the visual assist for
the Tax Rate/Area field on any form, the system verifies whether Quantum is
active in the Quantum Constants. If so, the system first displays GeoCodes from
which you can review and select appropriately. To review J.D. Edwards tax
rates/areas, click Cancel on the GeoCode inquiry form. The system then
displays J.D. Edwards tax rates.
From the Organization and Account Setup menu (G09411), choose Revise Single
Business Unit.
1. On Work with Business Units, locate the business unit and click Select.
2. On Revise Business Unit, click the More Detail tab.
If you try to access GeoCode information using the Visual Assist in the Tax
Rate/Area field, you must ensure that the business unit is assigned to an address
book number.
Because there is no tax explanation code, if you are working with CSMS, the
business unit tax explanation code is always a sales tax (S).
From the Daily Processing menu (G01), choose Address Book Revisions.

In order for Quantum to calculate taxes for various jurisdictions, laws and
regulations, the GeoCodes might be based on one of the following three
parameters:
Ship From The Ship From location is generally the seller's plant or
warehouse that is delivering the product or service. It is
crucial to a sales tax calculation, because different rules
might apply for intrastate (Ship To and Ship From are in
the same state) or interstate (Ship To and Ship From are
in different states) transactions.
Order Acceptance The Order Acceptance location is the place where the
seller accepts, acknowledges, or receives the actual order.
This is crucial for determining the correct tax on an
interstate or intrastate transaction.
When you enter an address book number to represent a customer (Sold To,
Ship To), supplier or branch/plant (Ship From), the system uses different rules
for each system.
OneWorld uses the following hierarchy for accruing Service Contract Sales Tax:

After you assign GeoCodes to address book records, you might need to
override a GeoCode on an invoice, voucher, sales order, purchase order, service
order, contract, or call.
When you enter a sales or purchase order, invoice, service order quote,
voucher, or call, you can inquire on the order and review product information
as well as calculated taxes. The system retrieves the tax information from the
Tax Rate/Area field in the J.D. Edwards master and transaction tables, which are
used to store the assigned GeoCode or J.D. Edwards tax code.
The Tax Decision Maker interfaces with the following programs in the J.D.
Edwards systems:
When a J.D. Edwards program calls the Tax Decision Maker, the Tax Decision
Maker Engine determines the following information:
Note: In CSMS, the system does not calculate taxes until you run Service
Contract Workfile Generation (R1732) or Service Order Workfile Generation
(R1775) in final mode. However, the system does calculate taxes when you
create a service order quote or enter a call.

After you assign GeoCodes to your customers, the system uses the GeoCode to
supply default tax information when you enter an invoice. If you want to
override the tax information supplied by the system, you can do so when you
enter the invoice.
The system makes accounting entries for sales taxes when you post the invoice
based on the AAI item RT _ _ _ _ , which points to the sales tax account.
Note: You can also override tax information during Speed Invoice Entry and
MultiĆInvoice Entry.
From Customer and Invoice Entry (G03B11), choose Standard Invoice Entry.
Tax Area
Tax Expl (Explanation) Code (optional)
Field Explanation
Tax Expl Code 1 A user defined code (00/EX) that controls how a tax is
assessed and distributed to the general ledger revenue
and expense accounts.
A single invoice can have both taxable and nonĆtaxable
items. The entire invoice, however, must have one tax
explanation code.
The Tax Explanation Code is used in conjunction with
the Tax Rate Area and Tax Rules by Company to
determine how the tax is calculated. Each transaction pay
item can be defined with a different tax explanation code,
including E, to exempt the pay item from calculating
taxes.
Amount - Taxable The amount on which taxes are assessed.
After you assign GeoCodes to your suppliers, the system uses the GeoCode to
supply default tax information when you enter a voucher. If you want to
override the tax information supplied by the system, you can do so when you
enter the voucher.
The system makes accounting entries for use taxes when you post the voucher.
AAI item PT_ _ _ _ (no G/L offset) points to the use tax account.
Note: You can also override tax information during MultiĆCompany Voucher
entry, MultiĆVoucher Entry, and Speed Voucher Entry.
From Supplier and Voucher Entry (G0411), choose Standard Voucher Entry.
Tax Rate/Area
Tax Amount (optional)
Taxable Amount
Field Explanation
Tax Explanation 2 A user defined code (00/EX) that controls how a tax is
assessed and distributed to the general ledger revenue
and expense accounts. You assign this code to a
customer or supplier to set up a default code for their
transactions.
Do not confuse this with the taxable, nonĆtaxable code. A
single invoice can have both taxable and nonĆtaxable
items. The entire invoice, however, must have one tax
explanation code.
Amount - Taxable The amount on which taxes are assessed.
When you enter a sales order, you can inquire on the order and review product
information as well as calculated taxes. The system retrieves the tax information
for the order from the Tax Rate/Area field in the J.D. Edwards master and
transaction tables that are used to store the assigned GeoCode or J.D. Edwards
tax code.
You can enter tax information that is specific to a detail line. This information
determines whether taxes apply to the items or services on the detail line and
how the system calculates the taxes.
From the Sales Order Processing menu (G4211), choose Sales Orders Detail.
To enter sales orders, see Working with Detail Information in the Sales
Order Management Guide.
3. On Sales Order Detail Revisions, chose the order detail line and choose

When you enter a service contract, you are accessing the starting point of the
contract programs. When you enter service contracts, you can review and
override detail information about the contract such as customer entitlements,
service packages, item numbers, and billing information, as necessary.
You can override tax information on a contract when you create a contract
using direct entry.
Note: In CSMS, the system does not calculate taxes until you run Service
Contract Workfile Generation (R1732) in final mode.
From the Daily Service Contract Processing menu (G1714), choose Service
Contract Detail.
You can override tax information when you enter or modify a service order.
You must enter a service order under the following circumstances:
You need to bill for the parts required to fix a piece of equipment.
You need to send a technician to the site to repair the problem.
You use a service provider to resolve the problem and you need to create
a voucher for payment.
You can retrieve numerous default values from a parent service order. For
example, you can use values from a parent service order to retrieve the
following information:
Service type

Planned completion date
Note: In CSMS, the system calculates taxes when you create a service order
quote. The system does not calculate final taxes until you run CSMS Service
Order Workfile Generation (R1775) in final mode.
From the Daily Service Order Processing menu (G1712), choose Service Order
Entry.
To enter a service order, see Working with Service Order Entry in the
Customer Service Management System Guide.

override tax information.
You can override this tax information at the time you directly enter the call.
Note: To calculate taxes on a call, you must turn on the Customer Call MBF
Processing Options (P1700140).
From the Daily Call Processing Menu (G1713), choose Call Entry.
When you bill your customers, you might need to override or set up tax
information to meet specific tax requirements associated with the work you
perform for your customer. The Contract Billing system provides you with a
hierarchy for entering tax information, depending on the contract. The system
allows you to override information in the Customer Master and apply taxes at a
line, work order, or business unit level.
To override tax information, the system uses the following tables, in the order
listed, to search for and calculate tax information:
Depending on how you need to record taxable information for billing purposes,
perform one of the following tasks to override GeoCodes for contract billing:
From the Daily Processing menu (G5210), choose Contract Billing Line Details.
2. On Contract Billing Line Detail Revisions, click the General tab and

From the Job Budget Setup menu (G5111), choose Job Cost Master Revisions.
When you bill your customers, you might need to override or set up tax
information to meet specific tax requirements associated with the service you
perform for your customer. The Service Billing system provides you with a
hierarchy for entering tax information, depending on the service. The system
allows you to override information in the Customer Master and apply taxes
using the Tax Derivation Information table (F48127) a work order, or a business
unit.
To override tax information, the system uses the following tables, in the order
listed, to search for and calculate tax information:
Depending on how you need to record taxable information for billing purposes,
perform one of the following tasks to override GeoCodes for Service Billing:
From the Table Information menu (G48S41), choose Tax Derivation Table.
From the Work Order Processing menu (G4811), choose Work Order Entry.
2. On Enter Work Orders, click the General tab, and complete the following
fields to override tax information:
Tax Expl (Explanation) Code
Tax Rate/Area
From the Job Budget Setup menu (G5111), choose Job Cost Master Revisions.
During transaction processing, you can choose to print tax information when
you print documents for your customers. When you post accounts payable and
accounts receivable information to the general ledger, the system posts
Quantum tax information to the Quantum Tax Register and J.D. Edwards tax
information to the J.D. Edwards tax table (F00018). You can specify the G/L
accounts to which the system posts the taxes.
You can print calculated taxes when you print a contract, sales order, purchase
order, invoice, or voucher in the following J.D. Edwards programs:
In the standard J.D. Edwards tax processing system, the system calculates any
taxes that have not been previously calculated and posts financial record
information to the J.D. Edwards tax table (F0018).
In the Quantum for Sales and Use Tax system, the system taxes based on the
GeoCode and records the pertinent information in the Quantum Tax Register.
Financial Processes
Distribution Processes
For example, when the Sales Update program (R42800) creates A/R records, the
General Ledger Post Report program (R09801) ignores these A/R records and
does not write to the Quantum Tax Register. When the Voucher Match program
(P4314) creates A/P records, it also writes to the Quantum Tax Register. The
General Ledger Post Report program (R09801) ignores the Voucher Match
records.
CSMS Processes
With CSMS, the Service Billing system writes the tax information to the
Quantum Tax Register. Again the A/R and A/P Post program ignores the CSMS
tax records.
If the financial records are created in the Contract or Service Billing systems, the
system writes the tax information to the Quantum Tax Register when you create
records in the Customer Ledger (F03B11) and Account Ledger (F0911) tables.
This occurs at Billing Invoice A/R Journal Generation (R48199). Unlike tax
processing in the J.D. Edwards system, the system does not write the tax
information when you post the resulting batches.
