Enter a code that identifies a specific organization, fund, or other reporting entity. The company code must already exist in the Company Constants table (F0010) and must identify a reporting entity that has a complete balance sheet. At this level, you can have intercompany transactions.
Note: You can use company 00000 for default values such as dates and automatic accounting instructions (AAIs). You cannot use company 00000 for transaction entries.
Enter the cost method on which to base costing errors (that is, 01, 02, . . .). If you leave this field blank, cost method 07 (standard) will be used.
Specify a user-defined code (UDC) (00/DT) that identifies the origin and purpose of the transaction. The system 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: Purchase order documents
S: Sales order documents
Specify a UDC (00/DT) that identifies the type of document. This code also indicates the origin of the transaction. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system from Oracle has reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and timesheets, which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries are not self-balancing when you originally enter them.) These document types are defined by the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system 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.
Specify a rate that the system uses with the Setup Labor Hours of the associated routing to calculate the standard setup labor cost.
Specify an alphanumeric code 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 document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department.
Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.
