Understanding External Purchase Orders

You can upload purchase orders from an external scheduling or purchasing system into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system to create commitments. For example, superintendents might enter field purchase orders in a third-party system that captures basic order information.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management provides the After Start Purchasing table (F44H711P) to receive purchase order information from external systems. The system does not validate the purchase order information before it updates the F44H711P table. After you verify that the purchase order information on the After Start Purchasing Maintenance form is complete and accurate, you can upload the external purchase orders to the Lot Start Workfile (F44H711). The information then becomes available to all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system functions, including cost analysis, commitment processing, and accounts payable processing.
