Understanding Rules for Defining a Flexible Format

You can define only one subledger type for each cost object. Consider the following rules about flexible account numbers when you define flexible formats:

  • Each piece of information that you associate with a segment corresponds to a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne field.

    Each of these fields is hard-coded in a user defined code table that you access from the Enabled Functionality by Application program (P1690). You can view both the tables and fields for flexible rules. To use a field that is not included in these tables, you must use custom programming.

  • You can define a flexible accounting rule only for applications that have been flex-enabled.

    You can view these programs using the Cost Object Rule Setup Method program (P1691).

  • When the system searches for an account for an AAI, it searches the Sales Flex Accounting table (F4096), as follows:

  • The system checks for a flexible account number that has been defined for a specific AAI and a specific company.

  • If no account has been defined for a specific AAI and a specific company, the system checks for an account that has been defined for a specific AAI and company 00000.
