Cross-Reference Categorization

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne uses cross-reference object types to categorize cross-references. You use cross-reference object types to group together code, key, or AIS cross-references of similar type. For example, you can add cross-reference object types called countrycode, unitofmeasure, and purchaseordernumber. You associate each cross-reference that you add to the appropriate cross-reference object type, which serves as a category for a particular group of cross-references.

Before you add cross-references to the system, you should analyze the fields and data that you are cross-referencing and define a categorization system that you can use to group cross-references into categories. This categorization helps you manage cross-references so that you can readily review, modify, and remove cross-references as needed. You can set up all the cross-reference object types in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne before you add cross-references to the system, or add additional cross-reference object types as needed.
