Understanding AAIs for Equipment/Plant Maintenance and Equipment Billing

AAIs define the rules by which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger interact. When you define AAIs, you establish how the system processes transactions for various programs. For example, AAIs set the rules by which general ledger transactions can post to Equipment/Plant Management.

You set up AAIs by company, based on account numbers and, in some cases, ranges of account numbers. The system includes predefined ranges. You must specify the business unit and object account for the AAIs as necessary. Additionally, you must specify subsidiary accounts for certain AAIs.

The system uses single AAI values to find individual accounts and AAI ranges to find account ranges. When you set up AAI ranges, you must observe these guidelines:

• You can set up a maximum of 49 account ranges for a single company.

• The maximum number of account ranges that you can set up for all the companies combined is 200.

• Do not skip AAI ranges.

  For example, do not set up FX range 01 through 02 and FX05 through 06, leaving FX03 through 04 blank for later use. If the system searches the AAIs for an account and finds a gap in a range, the search is stopped.

• You must set up the AAI ranges in numerical order.

  However, you are not required to set up the object accounts in numerical order.

These guidelines pertain only to AAIs relevant to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Maintenance and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment Billing.
