English Overrides

JD Edwards forms can be reused in multiple systems. In these cases, developers apply English overrides to data dictionary items and enter alternate descriptions. Developers can apply English overrides to specific forms but not to entire systems.

For example, when a form is called from system 30, a text field might be described as Customer Number. When called from system 31, the same text field might be described as Address Book Number. When you translate the forms in system 30, you will see only the description Customer Number.

When an English override exists, the translation is automatically overridden.

Note: In the FDA Translation Tool, you can view the items that have overrides. Items that have overrides have a check mark in the Text Overridden check box.
