To verify that you do not have duplicate information in the address book, print the Check for Duplicates report. If you have recently converted to the JD Edwards World system, you should print this report to verify that you did not create duplicate records during the initial setup of your system. After reviewing this report, delete or inactivate duplicate address book records.

With this report, you can print duplicate information for alpha names only or alpha names and one of the following:

  • Postal codes

  • Phone numbers

  • Postal codes and phone numbers

  • Who's who

This DREAM Writer report is based on a join file (F0101JD) that combines the following:

  • Address Book Master (F0101)

  • Address by Date (F0116)

  • Phone Number Master (F0115)

15.1.1 Before You Begin

  • If you use effective dates, run the Effective Address Update report to ensure that the most current addresses print on your report

15.1.2 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Deleting address book records If you delete an address book record, the system deletes information from the Address Book Master file (F0101) and all related data, such as phone number and customer/supplier master information. You cannot delete address book records that have transaction details or master information existing in files throughout the system. This step is taken to maintain data integrity wherever an address number is used for data access.
Controlling page breaks on the report You control page breaks by the Location of the Page Overflow field in the printer overrides. To ensure that no page break occurs in the middle of an address, verify that this field is not larger than the setting in the Demo versions. For example, for eight characters per inch, the overflow field should be 54 to allow six lines of margin for a full address.
