This chapter contains the following topics:
Section 2.1, "Understanding Homebuilder Management Conversion"
Section 2.3, "Setting Up Homebuilder Management User-Defined Codes in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne"
Section 2.4, "Converting JD Edwards World Homebuilder Management Data"
Section 2.5, "Describing Technical Considerations for Conversion Programs"
To migrate existing data from JD Edwards World to Homebuilder Management for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you must convert specific JD Edwards World Homebuilder files to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables. To assist you in the conversion process, Homebuilder Management has several conversion programs, which function with JD Edwards World version A7.3, service pack 12 and above.
The conversion process uses the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table conversion tool, and in some cases, a batch update process. You must use the setup programs to manually enter data in the tables that are new to Homebuilder Management in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
Only editable fields are mapped for the conversion. If you have modified any JD Edwards World files or programs to allow editing in fields that are traditionally not editable, you must modify the conversion programs to map those fields from JD Edwards World to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables. The conversion programs are written to allow selection at the community level except for takeoffs, which allow selection at the area level.
The conversion programs do not remove the JD Edwards World data from the tables after the conversion is finished.
Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must:
Install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
Set up system constants in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management.
Set up system activity rules in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management
Create values for the new UDC tables in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management.
Set up area job master information and values in UDC 00/05.
Convert contracts from JD Edwards World to the format that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system uses.
Review all of the special notes for conversion.
Sign on to the environment that you want to convert.
Verify that the table conversion settings are set to Log in Environment.
Run the JD Edwards World to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract conversion program.
Before you run the JD Edwards World to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne conversions for Homebuilder Management, use the values from the JD Edwards World UDC tables to set up the new UDC tables in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management.
This table lists the JD Edwards World UDC tables and values:
UDC Table | Alias | Description |
---|---|---|
44/O1 | OP01 | Option Type |
44/O2 | OP02 | Option Category Code 2 |

This section provides an overview about the conversion programs and lists a prerequisite.
You must run the conversion programs in the order that they appear on the menu. The conversion programs convert JD Edwards World A7.3 files to tables in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Xe through the current release. You must run each conversion program independently, not as a batch process. Be aware that when World files contain a high volume of data, the conversion programs might run for an extended period of time. Allow adequate time to run and verify the results of the conversion before you use the Homebuilder Management system in a production environment.
If you do not use items and takeoffs, do not run Bid Contract Price Variance (R44H96001), Bid Form/Contract Confirmation (R44H96002), and Base House Cost By Plan (R44H96003).
The Item Master (F4101) table has not changed and does not require conversion from JD Edwards World.

Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must save a back up the database.
This section provides technical information about specific conversion programs.
The Lot Master table (F44H201) is initially created by the Lot Master Conversion program (R44H9201) from the World Lot Master table (F4453). The F44H201 table is subsequently updated by the Sales Master Conversion program (R44H9501) with data from the World Lot Proceed Header table (F4450).
Before validating or editing information in the F44H201 table, run the Lot Master Conversion and Sales Master Conversion programs.
In JD Edwards World, data item LNT (Loan Type) is a free-form text field. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system, the LOANTYP field is associated with UDC 44H/LT. The Sales Master Conversion program maps the values from the LNT field in the F4450 table to the LOANTYP field in the F44H501 table. To prevent post-conversion validation errors, review the values in the LNT field in the F4450 table for consistency and add the values to UDC 44H/LT.
The Sales Master Conversion program determines the sales status, based on the values you enter in the processing options and in the House Type (HSTY) field on the F4450 table lot proceed record. In JD Edwards World, the values B, C, M, P, S, T, Z, and blank are hard-coded. The conversion program recognizes only these eight values. If you added values to UDC 44/HT and used those values in the lot proceed records, you must modify either your data or the Sales Master Conversion program before you run the conversion.
Before you run the F44H603 Base House Cost by Plan program (R44H96003), review all JD Edwards World data to eliminate any records that do not satisfy the unique key requirement.
Run the Item Pricing Pre-Conversion Review (R44H4459) to search for key violations between the Material Item Pricing tables in JD Edwards World (F4459) and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (F44H603). This table lists the keys for the F4459 and F44H603 tables:
JD Edwards World Keys in the F4459 File | JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Keys in the F44H603 Table |
---|---|
|
|
The Item Pricing Pre-Conversion Review program reads the records in the F4459 file in this order:
CTYC
ITM
AN8
MCU
EFFF
The program prints a report of the key values in the current F4459 table, as well as the short ID number and effective date. To avoid duplicate key errors, you should either delete all but the current records or change the effective dates to create a unique record before you run the Base House Cost by Plan program (R44H96003).
