Glossary

Customer Number and Customer

Enter a number that identifies an entry in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation - Address Book, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location.

You can use this number to locate and enter information about the address book record. If you enter a value other than the address book number (AN8), such as the long address or tax ID, you must precede it with the special character that is defined in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation - Address Book constants. When the system locates the record, it returns the address book number to the field.

For example, if address book number 4100 (Total Solutions) has a long address TOTAL and an * distinguishes it from other entries (as defined in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation - Address Book constants), you could type *TOTAL into the field, and the system would return 4100.

Cust Price Group, Customer Price Grp, and Customer Group (customer price group)

Enter a value from UDC 40/PC to identify the pricing group associated with this customer or supplier.

For sales orders, you assign a pricing group to a customer on the Customer Billing Instructions form. Groups typically contain customers with common pricing characteristics, such as retailers, wholesalers, and so forth.

For purchase orders, you assign a pricing group to a supplier on the Supplier Billing Instructions form.

Effective Date, Effective From, and Eff Date From (effective date from)

Enter a date that indicates when the address, item, transaction, or record becomes active. The meaning of this field differs, depending on the program. For example, the effective date can represent any of these dates:

  • The date on which a change of address becomes effective.

  • The date on which a lease becomes effective.

  • The date on which a price becomes effective.

  • The date on which the currency exchange rate becomes effective.

  • The date on which a tax rate becomes effective.

The default date is the current system date. You can enter future effective dates to plan for upcoming changes.

Expiration Date, effective Thru, and Eff Date Thru (effective date through)

Enter a date that indicates when the address, item, transaction, or record is no longer in effect. The meaning of this field differs, depending on the program. The default date is December 31 of the default year that is defined in the data dictionary for the Century Change Year field.

Item Number

Enter a number that identifies the item. The system provides three separate item numbers plus an extensive cross-reference capability to alternative item numbers. The three types of item numbers are:

  • Item Number (short)

    An 8-digit, computer-assigned item number.

  • 2nd Item Number

    A 25-character, user-defined, alphanumeric item number.

  • 3rd Item Number

    Another 25-character, user-defined, alphanumeric item number.

In addition to these three basic item numbers, the system provides an extensive cross-reference search capability. You can define numerous cross-references to alternative part numbers. For example, you can define substitute item numbers, replacements, promotional items, bar codes, customer numbers, or supplier numbers.

Item Price Group, Item Price Grp, and Item Group

Enter a value from UDC 40/PI to identify an inventory price group for an item.

Inventory price groups have unique pricing structures that direct the system to incorporate discounts or markups on items on sales and purchase orders. The discounts or markups are based on the quantity, dollar amount, or weight of the item ordered. When you assign a price group to an item, the item takes on the same pricing structure defined for the inventory price group.

You must assign an inventory price group to the adjustment definition or the item, for the system to interactively calculate discounts and markups on sales orders and purchase orders based on an item group.

Last Status

Review the value from UDC 40/AT to determine the last step in the processing cycle that has been successfully completed for this order line.

Line Type and Ln Ty

Enter a code to control how the system processes lines on a transaction. This value controls transaction interfaces with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger system from Oracle, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system from Oracle, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system from Oracle, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system from Oracle, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system from Oracle.

The line type also specifies the conditions under which a line prints on reports, and is included in calculations. Some common codes are:

  • S: Stock item.

  • J: Job cost.

  • N: Non-stock item.

  • F: Freight.

  • T: Text information.

  • M: Miscellaneous charges and credits.

  • W: Work order.

Order Company

Enter a number that, along with order number and order type, uniquely identifies an order document (such as a purchase order, a contract, a sales order, and so on).

If you use the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year facility, the Automatic Next Numbers program (P0010) uses the order company to retrieve the correct next number for that company. If two or more order documents have the same order number and order type, the order company lets you locate the desired document.

If you use the regular Next Numbers facility, the system does not use the order company to assign a next number. In this case, you do not use the order company to locate the document.

Order Date

Review the field to determine the date that the order is entered into the system. This date determines which effective level the system uses for inventory pricing.

Quantity Ordered

Enter the number of units that the customer ordered.

Reprice Group

Displays a value from the Item Price Groups UDC (40/PI) that identifies an inventory price group for an item.

You assign items with common order repricing characteristics to an order reprice category on the Item/Branch Plant Info. form. You define different categories based on location. Order repricing is a technique that the system uses to:

  • Accumulate items on an order that belong to a common repricing category during a batch or interactive program.

  • Compare the aggregate quantity, weight, and amount of the items on the order to the appropriate quantity, weight, and amount breaks in the reprice category.

If the items qualify for an additional discount, that discount can be reflected as a change in unit and extended price for each qualifying item in the original order line. Or it can be reflected as a flat dollar amount in a new discount line, depending on the pricing adjustment (or advanced pricing) setup.

This functionality supplements the repricing function and operates in the same batch or interactive program.

Ship To

Enter the address number of the location to which you want to ship this order. The address book provides default values for customer address, including street, city, state, zip code, and country.

Sold To

Enter a number that identifies an entry in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location. The sold to customer address identifies the customer entity to whom the goods are sold.

UoM and UM (unit of measure)

Enter a value from UDC 00/UM to specify the measurement used to define the quantity of an inventory item. For example, CS (case) or BX (box).

Unit Price

Review or enter the price to be charged for one unit of an item. If you do not set up base prices in the Item Base Price File table (F4106), you must manually enter the price on the sales order.
