Supplemental Data for Human Capital Management

Supplemental data is any type of information that you want to track but for which the system provides no tracking. It can include information about employees, such as their educations or work experiences, or information that is unique to your business requirements, such as information about foreign languages spoken.

You can track supplemental data in these systems:

• Address Book

• General Accounting

• Human Capital

• Payroll

• Asset Management (equipment)

• Fixed Assets

• Work Orders (engineering orders)

• Inventory Management

The way that you set up and maintain supplemental data is the same for all of these systems.

With each of these systems, we provide one or more supplemental databases that can track related types of supplemental data. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation system contains supplemental databases for:

• Employees (E)

• Jobs (J)

• Applicants (A)

• Requisitions (R)

You can set up any supplemental database so that the information that you enter appears in the language of your choice.

When setting up supplemental data, you define the types of supplemental information that you want to track in each of the supplemental databases.

To simplify working with supplemental information, you might choose to make some types of supplemental data consistent across multiple databases. Making these supplemental data types consistent allows you to:

• Simultaneously search for both applicants and employees who have specific job skills.

• Transfer a hired applicant's supplemental data to the employee database.

You can also transfer supplemental information from one data type to another within the same database. You might need to transfer supplemental data in cases where you change the name of a data type or when you decide to divide the information in one data type into multiple data types.
