Understanding the Supplemental Database

You might need to store information about a contact that has no place reserved for it in the standard master tables. We refer to this additional information as supplemental data. Each supplemental database is identified by a code that is specific to a system. For example, for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system, the supplemental database code is AB. Depending on what kinds of supplemental data you maintain, you can set up more than one database for a system.

If your company is multinational, you can set up a language override code that allows you to write and view supplemental data in an appropriate language.

Supplemental database code information is stored in the Supplemental Database Setup table (F00090).

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system does not require you to use supplemental data.
