This chapter contains the following topics:
A commitment is an accounting entry that helps you track future obligations. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne SPC module includes programs for posting purchase order commitments and for reposting purchase order, application, and certificate commitments. The SPC module also includes a program that you can use to review purchase order commitments. You set up and use the standard software to review application and certificate commitments and relieve all commitment amounts.
To work with commitments in the SPC module:
Set up the system to use commitments in the SPC module.
The setup includes SPC constants and base software setup.
Post purchase order commitments if you set up your system to generate commitments at purchase order entry.
See Posting Subcontract Order Commitments .
The system generates and posts application and certificate commitments when you enter applications and certificates if you have the system set up to do so. You do not run a separate post program to post application and certificate commitments.
Review commitments in either the base software programs or in the SPC Commitment Inquiry program (P74U0423).
The SPC Commitment Inquiry program shows purchase order commitments that were posted using the Subcontract Order Commitment Post program (R74U0416). You use base software programs to view application and certificate commitments.
Repost commitments as needed.
You can modify purchase order, applications, and certificates after you enter them. If you modify them, you should run the repost commitment programs to update the records in the Account Balances table (F0902).
Relieve commitments.
You use the base software programs to relieve commitment amounts.
You can review SPC purchase order commitment amounts and the associated purchase order and applications by using the SPC Commitment Inquiry program.
This section lists the form used to review SPC purchase order commitments and discusses how to set processing options for SPC Commitment Inquiry (P74U0423).
| Form Name | Form ID | Navigation | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work with SPC Commitment Inquiry | W74U0423C | Select Commitments (G74U04527), SPC Commitment Inquiry | Review SPC purchase order commitments. You can use options on the Row menu to view the purchase order and application. |
Processing options enable you to specify default processing values.
Enter 1 to hide zero open commitment lines. If you leave this processing option blank, the system shows the lines.
Specify the version of the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) to launch from the SPC Commitment Inquiry program.
Specify the version of the Work with Applications and Certificates program (P74U0422) to launch from the SPC Commitment Inquiry program.
This section provides overviews of commitment repost for applications and certificates and commitment repost for purchase orders, and discusses how to:
Repost application and certificate commitments.
Set processing options for Repost Commitments (Selection) (R74U0410).
Repost purchase order commitments.
Set processing options for SPC PO Line Commitments (R74U0417).
Run the Subcontract Order Commitment Repost program.
Set processing options for Subcontract Order Commitment Repost (R74U0416).
You run the Repost Commitments (Selection) program (R74U0410) to repost commitment amounts for applications and certificates. The processing options in the Repost Commitments (Selection) program enable you to specify whether to repost for applications or certificates. The system calls the SPC Repost Commitments (Application) program (R74U0412) when you repost applications, and calls the SPC Repost Commitments (Certificates) program (R74U0414) when you repost certificates.
Menu options exist on the Commitments menu (G74U0527) for the SPC Repost Commitments (Application) program and the SPC Repost Commitments (Certificates) program. However, you should run those programs from the Repost Commitments (Selection) program because you use the processing options in the Repost Commitments (Selection) program to specify whether to run the programs in proof or final mode. The SPC Repost Commitments (Application) and SPC Repost Commitments (Certificates) programs do not have associated processing options.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides two programs to report commitment information for purchase orders. Use the SPC PO Line Commitments program (R74U0417) to repost purchase orders that you entered at a detail level. Use the Subcontract Order Commitment Repost program (R74U0416) to repost purchase orders that you entered at a header level.
Select Commitments (G74U0527), Repost Commitments (Selection).
Processing options enable you to specify default processing values.
Specify values in these processing options to limit the data selection.
Enter 1 to repost application commitments.
Enter 1 to repost certificate commitments.
Specify whether to process records in proof or final mode. Values are:
Blank: Proof mode. The system generates a report and does not update the F0902 table.
1: Final mode. The system generates a report and updates the F0902 table.
Specify the version of the SPC Repost Commitments (Application) program to run. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses version XJDE0001. The system uses the value in this processing option only when you set the Repost Application Commitments processing option to repost application commitments.
Specify the version of the SPC Repost Commitments (Certificates) program to run. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses version XJDE0001. The system uses the value in this processing option only when you set the Repost Certificate Commitments processing option to repost certificate commitments.
Select Commitments (G74U0527), SPC PO Line Commitments.
Processing options enable you to specify default processing values.
Specify values in these processing options to limit the data selection. The system uses these values for the Repost Mode only. Leave these processing options blank if you set the Update or Repost processing option to the update mode.
Specify a job or business unit for which to repost the commitment amounts. If you leave this processing option blank, the system reposts for all jobs or business units. The system uses the value in the processing option only when you set the Update or Repost processing option to the update mode.
Specify whether to process records in proof or final mode. Values are:
Blank: Proof mode. The system generates a report showing proposed changes, but does not update records.
1: Final mode. The system generates a report and updates the records in the F0902 table.
Specify whether to update existing purchase order commitments with additions and changes, or repost all purchase order commitments for the selected date range. The system updates records only when you set the Proof or Final processing option to 1. Values are:
Blank: Update commitments with additions and changes.
1: Repost all selected purchase order commitments.
Specify whether to calculate commitment relief based on certificate amounts or application amounts. Values are:
Blank: Application amounts
1: Certificate amounts
Select Advanced & Technical Operations (G74U0530), Subcontract Order Commitment Repost.
Processing options enable you to specify default processing values.
Specify the 2-digit century that the system uses as the beginning of the date range for data selection.
Specify the 2-digit year that the system uses as the beginning of the date range for data selection.
Specify the 2-digit century that the system uses as the end of the date range for data selection.
Specify the 2-digit year that the system uses as the end of the date range for data selection.
