Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book

The Address Book system is the foundation for other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems. The Address Book system contains name, address, and phone numbers for customers, suppliers, companies, and so on. This information is stored in several database tables to create a central repository of information. Other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems retrieve up-to-date name and address information from the Address Book system. For example, the Accounts Payable system uses address book information for supplier payments and the Accounts Receivable system uses address book information to generate customer invoices and statements.

With a central repository of information that integrates with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, you can effectively manage your address book information. The Address Book system includes:

• Maintenance of complete information for employees, customers, suppliers, and so on.

• Notification of authorized users about special situations, such as credit warnings, hold messages, and other critical account information.

• Classification of entries by search type for inquiry and reporting purposes.

• Ability to retrieve information by name, address, phone number, and search type.

• Management of tax information.

• Ability to associate multiple addresses with a single address book record.

• Effective dates for address changes.

• Supplemental data for organizing and tracking information that is not included in standard master table.
