14 Processing Interoperability for Fixed Assets

This chapter contains the following topics:

14.1 Processing Outbound Interoperability for Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of outbound interoperability for Fixed Assets, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:

  • Set selected processing options for Asset Master Information (P1201).

  • Set processing options for Outbound Asset Master Processor (R1201Z1O).

  • Run the Outbound Asset Master Processor.

  • Run the Outbound Asset Master Extraction.

14.1.1 Understanding Outbound Interoperability for Fixed Assets

You might need to send to another system transactions that you create or change in Fixed Assets.

To process outbound interoperability in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Assets:

  1. Specify the appropriate transaction type in the processing options of the Asset Master Information program (P1201) and then add or change a record using the Asset Master Information program.

    The system calls a business function that writes records to the Unedited Asset Master Transactions table (F1201Z1). The same business function calls a special subsystem API that sends a message to the subsystem kernel running on the server. The subsystem kernel adds a record to the Subsystem Job Master table (F986113).


    Note:

    You can export existing asset master records without changing them in the Asset Master Information program by running the Outbound Asset Master Extraction program (R1201Z1X). This program copies records directly from the Asset Master File table (F1201) to the F1201Z1 table.

  2. Create a custom UBE or function to process the data from the F1201Z1 table in such a way that it can be used by the external system.

  3. Use the Data Export Controls program (P0047) to specify the custom UBE or function for the transaction type you specified in the processing options of the Asset Master Information program.

    The system stores this information in the Data Export Control table (F0047).

  4. Run the Outbound Asset Master Processor program (R1201Z1O).

    The Outbound Asset Master Processor program fetches the F986113 record and retrieves the name and version of the custom UBE from the F0047 table. The Outbound Asset Master Processor program passes information about the transactions to the custom UBE. The custom UBE then retrieves the records from the F1201Z1 table and processes that information.

14.1.2 Prerequisite

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.

See Setting Up Data Export Controls.

14.1.3 Setting Selected Processing Options for Asset Master Information (P1201)

This section lists only the processing options that are specific to outbound interoperability.

14.1.3.1 Exports

Use these processing options to specify the transaction type and the outbound processor version.

14.2 Processing Inbound Interoperability for Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of inbound interoperability for Fixed Assets, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Inbound Asset Master Processor (R1201Z1I).

  • Run the Inbound Asset Master Processor.

14.2.1 Understanding Inbound Interoperability for Fixed Assets

You run the Inbound Asset Master File Conversion program (R47002C) to copy the data from the flat file to the Unedited Asset Master Transactions table (F1201Z1) if you have set up a flat file cross-reference to this table.


Note:

The system provides transaction type JDEFA for Fixed Assets transactions.

You run the Inbound Asset Master Processor program (F1201Z1I) to copy the information from the unedited transaction table to the Asset Master File table (F1201).

14.2.2 Prerequisites

14.3 Reviewing and Revising Interoperability Transactions for Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of reviewing and revising interoperability transactions for Fixed Assets, lists the forms used to review and revise interoperability transactions for Fixed Assets, and discusses how to set processing options for Unedited Asset Master Transactions Revision (P1201Z1).

14.3.1 Understanding Reviewing and Revising Interoperability Transactions for Fixed Assets

Running a transaction process, such as Inbound Asset Master Processor (R1201Z1I), often identifies one or more inbound transactions that contain invalid transactions. The Inbound Asset Master Processor program identifies the invalid transaction and sends an error message to the Work Center (P012501). The error message indicates the transaction number for the transaction in error.

You can use the Unedited Asset Master Transactions Revision program (P1201Z1) to review and revise inbound or outbound transactions. You can add, change, or delete transactions containing errors. Then run the transaction process again. Continue to make corrections and rerun the transaction process until the program runs without errors.

14.3.2 Forms Used to Review and Revise Interoperability Transactions for Fixed Assets

Form Name FormID Navigation Usage
Work With Unedited Asset Master Transactions W1201Z1A Select either of these menu options:

Asset Interoperability (G1233), Inbound Asset Master/Eq Tag Inquiry

Asset Interoperability (G1233), Outbound Asset Master/Eq Tag Inquiry

Locate interoperability transactions. The processing options determine whether the system displays inbound or outbound transactions, as well as whether the system displays unprocessed, successfully processed, or unsuccessfully processed records.
Unedited Asset Master Transactions Revision W1201Z1B Select a record on the Work With Unedited Asset Master Transactions form and click Select. Revise a transaction.

You can select Submit from the Row menu on this form to process selected records. If the selected records are outbound transactions, the system uses the program and version specified on the Process 1 tab of the processing options to process the records. If the selected records are inbound transactions, the system uses the program and version specified on the Process 2 tab of the processing options to process the records.

Unedited Equipment Tag Transactions Revision W1217Z2A Select a record on the Work With Unedited Asset Master Transactions form and then select Tag Revisions from the Row menu. Add additional information to an interoperability transaction.

14.3.3 Setting Processing Options for Unedited Asset Master Transactions Revision (P1201Z1)

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

14.3.3.1 Defaults

1. Transaction Type

Enter the transaction type for new Asset Master transactions. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the default transaction type JDEEM.

2. Default View Mode

14.4 Purging Interoperability Transactions for Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of purging interoperability transactions and discusses how to purge interoperability transactions.

14.4.1 Understanding Purging Interoperability Transactions

When data becomes obsolete or when you need more disk space, you can use the Interoperability Asset Master Purge program (R1201Z1P) to remove data from the Unedited Asset Master Transactions table (F1201Z1).

The Interoperability Asset Master Purge program purges both inbound and outbound transactions.

For records in the Processing Log table (F0046) that are marked as processed, the program purges the associated transactions in the corresponding interoperability tables, as well as the records in the F0046 table. If the records in the F0046 table are not marked as processed, the program does not purge any records.
