Understanding Task Set Up

To design and manage your system, you work with tasks, which are units of work that you use to build essential business processes. Tasks can be interactive programs, batch programs, workflows UDSs, and so on. You work with tasks in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer task view, which is a collection of related tasks that are hierarchically grouped in parent-child relationships and illustrated graphically by the task view menu. These task groups usually represent the steps in an essential business process such as Procure to Pay.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a large selection of tasks that are already grouped in relationships within different task views. You can modify already existing tasks and their relationships. You can also create new tasks, task relationships, and views.

Within a task view, you insert new or existing tasks and arrange the tasks in logical sequences. You create or revise tasks on an ongoing basis, and then insert them in a task view as necessary to build and enhance your business processes. The processes are fluid; that is, you can drag and drop tasks and task relationships to change the relationships and the order in which you perform tasks.

The system stores each task in a task view in the Task Master table (F9000) and assigns a unique ID to each one. Each task is a reusable object that you can insert into an existing task relationship, or you can use as a basis for creating a new task relationship. After you have inserted a task in a task view, you can move it, revise it, write documentation for it, set up processing options, set up versions, and locate it. You can accomplish any of these functions in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer task view by launching interactive programs or using features and functions that are included in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer.
