  • To perform updates that are effective system-wide

46.2 About System Updates

Ideally, your system would never change after the initial system setup. However, to customize the system to meet your company's changing needs, updates are often necessary. For example, your company might change the format that you have been using to set up locations in your branch/plants. Rather than making these changes on an individual basis, JD Edwards World provides updates that you can use to make system-wide changes.

For most updates, you enter changes through processing options and then run an update for the entire system.

Complete the following tasks:

  • Update item search information

  • Update item information

  • Revise location format

46.2.1 Before You Begin

  • Verify that only the users who have been designated to perform system updates have security access to system update programs.
