Completing the Distribution Preconversion Checklist

This checklist discusses the tasks that you must perform for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Distribution systems before you run the base currency conversion:

Preconversion Task

Description

√

Process all open and pending inbound and outbound electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions.

Complete this task to reduce the number of inbound records in the EDI tables and help improve processing time and performance during the base currency conversion.

Process billing for Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Container Management system.

Run end-of-day processing for the Container Rental Billing (R41186) and Container Deposit/Refund Billing (R41187) programs.

Identify orders that have items for which the unit of measure (UOM) conversion has changed.

If you change the UOM conversion factor for items on sales or purchase orders, you get unexpected results when you run the base currency conversion. The results of the conversion are based on the new (changed) UOM factor, not the original factor. The conversion does not support UOM changes, as described in this example:

A sales order for a stock item has a UOM conversion of 12 EA = 1 BX, a pricing UOM of BX, and a transaction UOM of EA. The conversion factor for the item is 12 to 1. You later change the UOM conversion to 5 EA = 1 BX, which changes the conversion factor to 5 to 1. The sales order is in the domestic currency only. Using this example, the following occurs during the base currency conversion:

  • The original domestic order becomes a foreign order with an EA to BX conversion factor of 5 to 1 and a foreign value of 12 to 1.

  • For the new domestic order, the quantity is converted based on the transaction UOM of EA. The extended price is converted using the current conversion factor of 5 to 1 (not the original factor of 12 to 1) to derive the new domestic value.

As this example illustrates, the base currency conversion does not support UOM changes. To convert orders that have items in which the UOM has changed, identify the purchase or sales order and change the UOM conversion for an item back to its original value before running the base currency conversion.

Post all transactions to the general ledger.

Run all active batches through to completion and verify the posting edit reports.
