Initialize

Although processing options are set up during JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation, you can change processing options each time you run a program.

1) Enter a date to be used as the Effective Date for all history records. Blank will default the date when each employee record was last changed.

Specify a future date when all changes will take effect or the date when the changes went into effect. If you do not enter a date in this processing option, the system uses the current date as the effective date.

We recommend that you enter an effective date for this processing option. The effective date should be a day prior to the date of your first date for reporting turnover. The system considers employees active as of the initialize effective date.

2) Choose what files to initialize given the following choices:

Specify the files that the system initializes. Values are:

H: Initialize History file only (default).

T: Initialize Turnover file only.

B: Initialize both History and Turnover files.

3) To clear records from the indicated file(s) before initialization, enter one of the following values:

Specify which files are cleared before initialization. Values are:

1: Clear the entire selected file(s).

2: Clear History/Turnover records for the selected employees only.

Blank: Do not clear records. (Default)

4) Enter a change reason for initial turnover and history records. A blank will default a change reason of '001'.

Specify a code from UDC 06/T to indicate the reason for changing an active employee record, terminating an employee, or recommending a change in salary or rate.

If you are reactivating an employee, the code must be numeric. The code for new hires is the default reason code.
