10 Understanding Acronyms and Abbreviations

This chapter contains the following topics:

10.1 Acronyms and Abbreviations

Oracle maintains a list of acronyms and abbreviations that you can use in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications. You must refer to this list before you use an acronym or abbreviation. If a specific acronym or abbreviation is not in this list, you must request that your application development manager add it.

The list also includes the space required for translation of double-byte and single-byte languages. If possible, enlarge the fields to accommodate translation.

Many languages have no equivalent for an English acronym or abbreviation. When no equivalent exists for an English acronym or abbreviation, the translation translates the description instead. Consider these French and German translations of the acronym A/P for accounts payable:

English Acronym or Abbreviation French Translation German Translation
A/P C. frns Kreditorenbuchhaltung

Double-byte languages, such as Chinese and Japanese, commonly require the most space because the Chinese and Japanese languages do not have acronyms and abbreviations.

Note:

Several acronyms and abbreviations contain the ampersand (&) symbol. When you define a form control or menu that includes an acronym or abbreviation that contains the ampersand symbol, you must enter two ampersands rather than a single one. Otherwise, the runtime engine interprets the & as an underscore ( _ ).

These acronyms and abbreviations are approved for use:
