Interacting with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost System

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system is closely integrated with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system. You can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system to review, analyze, and manage the profitability of a lot.

Each lot that is created during the Lot Start process in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system represents a job in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system. The Lot Start process creates accounts for items that are specific to the lot that is to be used in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system. The system uses information from the Sales Master table (F44H501) to create revenue budgets for the base house, lot premium, and selected options in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system. You use standard ledger types to manage budgets, commitments, actual costs, and projected final costs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system.
