Understanding Address Book Self Service

The self-service programs within the JD Edwards Address Book system enable your customers and suppliers to review and revise their own address book information online. Your customers and suppliers can use one of two programs to update their information:

• Address Book Revisions program

• Address Book Self Service program

The Address Book Revisions program allows your customers and suppliers to update only their mailing address, phone numbers, who's who information, and information for category codes 11 through 30. The Address Book Self Service program allows customers and suppliers to update their user profiles and information such as company classification codes, stock exchange, and stock ticker symbol.
