External Developer Considerations for Menus

External development is the process by which developers who work for organizations other than Oracle, such as consultants, create custom applications for specific clients. You must use caution when you name a menu so that you can distinguish between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects. When you create a new menu, use the naming convention Gxxxxyy, where:

G = The menu prefix.

xx (second and third digits) = Use a number between 55 and 59, to indicate that it is a custom menu.

xx (fourth and fifth digits) = The system code.

y (the sixth digit) = The display level or skill level. Use this digit only if you need multiple custom menus for each application.

1 - Basic, such as daily processing

2 - Intermediate, such as periodic processing

3 - Advanced, such as advanced or technical operations

4 - System administration, such as system setup

y (the seventh digit) = An additional character that differentiates between two menus of the same system with the same skill level.

For example, the menu name G550911 consists of:

G = The menu prefix

55 = Custom menu

09 = The system code

1 = the basic skill level

1 = The first menu of multiple menus
