Address Book

Address Number

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

Alpha Name

Enter text that names or describes an address. This 40-character alphabetic field appears on a number of forms and reports. You can enter dashes, commas, and other special characters, but the system cannot search on them when you use this field to search for a name.

Long Address Number

Enter the user-defined name or number that identifies an address book record. When you set up suppliers using a long address number, you can access the supplier number more quickly. For example, when you enter a voucher, you use the long address number preceded by the special character assigned to long address numbers in Address Book constants in the Supplier Number field. The system converts the long address number to the supplier number.

Tax ID

Enter the identification code required by various tax authorities. For US employees, the Tax ID is a social security number. For Canadian employees, the Tax ID must be a valid and unique Social Insurance Number (SIN).

Search Type

Enter the user-defined code (01/ST) that specifies the kind of address book record to search for. This value must be PA for partner.

Business Unit

Enter the alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant. You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department. Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.
