User-Defined Codes for Human Capital Management Systems

Many fields throughout the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management system accept only user-defined codes. You can customize fields in the system by setting up user-defined codes to meet the needs of your business environment.

User-defined codes are stored in tables that relate to a specific system and code type. For example, 07/PY represents system 07 (Payroll) and user-defined code type PY (Pay Cycle Codes). User-defined code tables define which codes are valid for the individual fields in the system. If you enter a code that is not valid for a field, the system displays an error message. For example, in the Pay Cycle field, you can enter only those codes that are included in user-defined code table 07/PY.

You can access all of the user-defined code tables through a single user-defined code form. After you select a user-defined code form from a menu, you can change the system code and user-defined code type to access another user-defined code table. The system stores user-defined codes in the User Defined Codes table (F0005). You can also print a list of all user-defined code tables to review.

Important: User-defined codes are central to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems. You must be thoroughly familiar with user-defined codes before you change them.
