Understanding Profit Management User-Defined Codes

Before you can use the features of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system, you need to define the critical information that the system uses for processing.

Many fields throughout the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system require user defined codes. You can customize fields in your system by setting up user defined codes to meet the needs of your organization.

The User Defined Codes program (P0004A) allows you to establish and maintain a table that defines codes for various types of information. Codes are categorized by system and code type.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system uses the following user defined codes:

Code Type

Description

Driver Category Codes

You can set up drivers to identify the cause of a process or how costs are assigned. Use the following user defined code tables to set up category codes for drivers:

  • 16/01

  • 16/02

  • 16/03

  • 16/04

  • 16/05

Activity Attributes

If you use activity-based costing, you must set up activities. An activity is an aggregation of actions that are performed within your organization. Use the following user defined code tables to define attributes for activities:

  • 16/06

  • 16/07

  • 16/08

  • 16/09

  • 16/10

Activity Category Codes

If you use activity-based costing, you must set up activities. An activity is an aggregation of actions that are performed within your organization. Use the following user defined code table to group your activities by category code:

  • 16/11

  • 16/12

  • 16/13

  • 16/14

  • 16/15

Cost Pools

(16/CP)

Set up cost pools to identify groupings for cost elements that have a common driver.

Cost Object Types

(00/ST)

A cost object is the final level at which costs or revenues are calculated or tracked. Set up a cost object to identify the type of managerial analysis.

Edit Rules

(16/ER)

When you enter cost objects, you can use a value from this table to identify a rule, which determines how the system edits or formats a cost object.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has predefined values for this user defined code table. If you change the values, unpredictable results might occur.

Cost Object Rules Setup Method

(16/SM)

When you enter a cost object edit rule, you must specify the method by which the system edits or formats a cost object.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has predefined values for this user defined code table. If you change the values, unpredictable results might occur.

Cost Management Method

(16/TF)

You can set up the functionality type in the user defined code (16/TF) and the enabled tables in the Enabled Functionality by Application program (P1690).

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has predefined values for this user defined code table. If you change the values, unpredictable results might occur.

Driver Calculation Method

(16/CM)

When you set up drivers, you can define how the system reassigns costs to activities. Use this user defined code table to identify whether the system calculates the driver automatically or manually.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has predefined values for this user defined code table. If you change the values, unpredictable results might occur.

Driver Result Type

(16/RT)

When you set up a driver calculation method, use this table to identify the resulting volume type, such as number of transactions or amount.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has predefined values for this user defined code table. If you change the values, unpredictable results might occur.
