Data Dictionary Items

The data dictionary item defines the text portion of the level break message as it appears in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Center. Before you create a data dictionary item, you should review the existing level break messages to determine if one meets your business needs.

When you create a custom level break message data item in the data dictionary, define it as a glossary data item. The alias that you enter for the data dictionary item is a unique identifier and cannot be changed once the data item is saved. It is recommended that the alias begins with LM. Level break messages are not error messages; they are defined as glossary group Y, PPAT Level Messages.

This description of the level break message data item appears in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Center. If this is a text-substituted message, enter the description using ampersands and sequential numbers to hold positions for substituted variables. For example, Batch &1 is out of balance by &2. The system replaces &1 with the actual batch number while the system replaces &2 with the amount that the batch is out of balance.

All message data items must include a cause and resolution. Begin by entering the text Cause: and then enter the cause of the message. Then, under the cause, enter the text Resolution: and then enter how the user should resolve the issue. For text-substituted messages, enter the data item description in the text area just above the cause.
