Building an Organizational Structure Using Tiers

Access the Address Parent/Child Revisions form.

Parent Number

Enter the address book number of the primary level in a hierarchy, or reporting relationship. A parent in one hierarchy can be a child in another hierarchy. A hierarchy can be organized by business unit, employee, or position. For example, you can create a hierarchy that shows the reporting relationships between employees and supervisors.

For each child of the parent specified in this field, complete the Address Number, Begin Eff Date, and End Eff Date fields.

Address Number

Enter an address book number. This number identifies an entry in the JD Edwards Address Book system, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location.

To continue to build the organizational structure, use the child specified in this field as the parent of other children, then another child as the parent of other children, and so on.

Begin Eff Date (beginning effective date)

Enter the date on which the address number appears in the structure. The Beginning Effective Date field prevents the address number from occurring in the structure until the beginning effective date is the same as the current date.

If this field is left blank, the address number always occurs in a structure unless an ending effective date exists.

End Eff Date (ending effective date)

Enter the date on which the address book record will cease to exist in the structure.
