To customize JD Edwards World systems to meet the needs of your business environment, you define the codes that are valid for many of the fields in the programs.

User defined codes exist in tables based on a specific system and code type. If you use a code that is not set up in the table related to a field, the system displays an error. To work with user defined codes, you can access them through a single user defined code form. After you select a user defined code form from a menu, change the values in the System Code field and User Defined Codes field to access another user defined code table.

The system stores the information for user defined codes in the User Defined Codes table (F0005).

You should be thoroughly familiar with user defined codes before you change them.

The following user defined codes are the primary codes that affect processing in the Contract Billing system:

  • Adjustment Reasons (48/AR)

  • Condition Codes (48/CC)

  • Component Codes (48/CM)

You can use other user defined codes, such as Contract Status (52/CS) and Category Codes (52/01 - 05, 52/11 - 15) for informational and reporting purposes.
