Using Commitments
In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system, commitments are records created in the Account Balances table (F0902) that track amounts that you must pay at a future date. You can use the records to determine your future cash needs. The records for commitments are for informational purposes only. You can view the commitment records by setting up and using the Job Status Inquiry- User Defined Columns program (P512000).
Setting up and using commitments is an optional task in the SPC module. You can set up your system to generate the commitment records when you enter purchase orders, applications, or certificates. If you choose to generate commitment records, you must set up SPC constants, ledger types, and other information that the system uses to generate the records. You run the Subcontract Order Commitment Post program (P74U0416) to generate records for commitments after you enter a purchase order. You do not run a separate program to generate the commitment records for applications and certificates; the system generates those records from the application and certificate programs according to your system setup.
