Setting Up Supplemental Data for Jobs

After you set up the job master record, you can enter a variety of supplemental information for a job. Supplemental information can include anything from ground conditions to legal considerations that can affect the progress of a job. You can use supplemental information to track, review, and report on the progress of a project or job. You set up and maintain supplemental information by defining supplemental data types and entering information appropriate for each supplemental data type. You can define as many supplemental data types as you need, for example:

• You review the details site workwork item and find that the clearing and grading work is one month behind schedule and 10 percent over budget. You can review the supplemental information related to the job and find information describing the adverse weather conditions that delayed the work. Then, you can adjust the site workwork item and any other affected work.

• You review the overall details of all of the jobs in a project and find that concrete is 10 percent under budget. The supplemental information explains that the price of rebar is lower than expected. You can adjust the budget accordingly.

Add data types when you need to categorize data using user-defined codes and when none of the existing user-defined code types are appropriate. For example, if you need to identify all jobs in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost that have ground conditions, you can add a search type of GR to user-defined UDC table (55/ST).

After you set up the appropriate user-defined codes and user-defined code types, you can add specific data types for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost that better fit the supplemental data requirements.
