Understanding Supplemental Data
Supplemental data consists of categories of information that you define to meet the unique business requirements. For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Management, you can use supplemental data to further define equipment or work orders in the system. After you set up supplemental data, you can use it to report on and track detailed information about equipment or work orders that is not included on the equipment master or work order master. For example, you might want to track supplemental data that is related to equipment maintenance, such as vibration readings and oil readings.
Typical types of supplemental information for equipment might include:
Capacity
Transportation notes
Vibration readings
Oil readings
Specification sheets
The demonstration data that comes with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Management includes predefined supplemental databases for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Asset Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation - Work Order. You can set up additional databases; but you should not alter the demonstration databases, particularly the key fields.
