33.2 About Address Batch Processing

You can transfer address batches from an outside source, such as a personal computer, a third-party or custom system, or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). To do so, you use the address batch process to convert those address batches into JD Edwards World batches.

During processing, the system creates JD Edwards World records in the Address Book Master file (F0101) and the associated files for addresses, phone numbers and Who's Who information. If you are working with accounts receivable or accounts payable, the system also creates JD Edwards World records in the Customer Master (F0301) and Supplier Master (F0401) files, respectively. The transferred address batches remain in the Address Book Batch Input file (F0101Z1) until you process and purge the batch. The system produces an error report listing batches it cannot process.

Address batch processing consists of the following tasks:

  • Reviewing address batches

  • Working with address batches

  • Processing address batches

  • Purging address batches
