UDC Sharing

With UDC sharing, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides the ability to control, or regulate, how organizational data among different business units is shared. UDC sharing enables you to define a subset of UDC values for a business unit. You can share multiple UDC values among multiple business units.

For example, a company's customer service department may provide support for appliances, consumer electronics, and sporting goods. Typically, a representative would choose from an extensive list of values to specify the repair code for a particular type of product. However, with UDC sharing, the company can associate a subset of the repair code UDC values, such as for appliances, to a business unit. As a result, the representatives associated with the business unit would only have to choose from a list of repair codes relevant to appliances.

Note: UDC sharing can impact system performance because of the time it takes the system to determine the UDC values that are associated with each business unit.
