Understanding Commitments
In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system, the Lot Start process creates the majority of on-site commitments by using a combination of bids and takeoffs to generate purchase orders in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system. However, you might need to create commitments independent of the Lot Start process. For these situations, select an option to manually create commitments:
Run the Generate Homebuilder Commitments program (R44H7113) from the menu.
Create commitments manually on the Work with Lot Start Workfile form.
Create lot commitments from extra purchase orders.
Create lot commitments from external purchase orders.
Create non-lot-related commitments by creating subcontracts in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system.
Use subcontracts for all non-lot-related commitments, such as due diligence, engineering, land development, and potential marketing costs.
When commitments are generated in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system, records are also created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system, specifically in the Purchase Order Header (F4301) and Purchase Order Detail File (F4311) tables. The system also updates the Procurement fields, such as Original Document, Document Type, Original Line Number, and so on, with the corresponding information from the bids or takeoffs.
