Defining a Configured Item Segment
Access the Configured Item Segments Revision form.
- Req (required or optional)
Enter a code that specifies whether a segment is required or optional in a configuration, or whether the system must calculate it to specification when you enter an order. Valid codes are:
R: Required.
O: Optional.
C: Calculated. You define the calculation with assembly inclusion rules.
- Default Value
Enter an initial value on the data entry screen for the associated data item. Usually, the default values that are set up produce a valid configuration in order entry.
The value that you enter must be the exact same length as the data item size.
Place single quotes around the value if it contains any embedded blanks. The keywords *BLANK and *ZERO can be used as the default value. When you enter a numeric data item with default values, the system suppresses all leading zeros when it redisplays the data item.
Caution: If a blank entry is allowed, do not use default values.- Display Order
Enter a number that establishes the sequence in which the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system asks questions about features and options during order entry.
Because new segments should always be entered at the end of the list of existing segments to maintain the integrity of the configuration information, this field is used to reorder the segments that appear on the Configured Item Revisions form at order entry.
- Common Attribute
(Optional) Enter a code that specifies a common attribute. A common attribute is a trait or characteristic that is shared by several segments in a configured item. When you enter an attribute value for a common attribute during order entry, the system updates the answer field for all segments that are associated with that common attribute.
- Code Num (code numeric)
Enter a value that indicates whether the system edits a segment answer as numeric or alphanumeric during order entry. Values are:
Y: The answer is numeric and should be right-justified.
N: The answer is alphanumeric and should be left-justified.
- Lower Limit of Value
Enter the lower allowed value of this specific segment to specify a range of acceptable values. If you enter a value here, then you must also enter an upper allowed value.
- Upper Limit of Value
Enter the upper allowed value of this specific segment to specify a range of acceptable values. If you enter a value here, then you must also enter a lower allowed value.
If you define a calculated segment, you do not need to define range checking.
Note: When using a range of values, the entire range of values from the lower limit to the upper limit is acceptable. You cannot limit the answer to, for instance, even numbers, two decimal places, 1/4 inch, and so on. Any value within the range of values is a valid answer.- D C (derived calculation)
(Optional) Specify the number of positions to the right of the decimal that a derived calculation should be rounded.
For example, if the result of a derived calculation is 2190.123456789, enter 0 to round to the whole number 2190.
Enter 4 to round up to 2190.1235.
Leave the Derived Calculation Round field blank to avoid rounding.
The system rounds up by one any digit followed by 5 through 9. The system does not round any digit followed by 0 through 4.
- Save Seg (save segment)
Enter a UDC (32/YN) that specifies whether the segment value is significant enough to make the configuration unique. Values are:
0: Not significant.
1: Significant.
If the configuration is unique, you must store the item in a separate location in inventory.
- Updt CC (update category code)
(Optional) Enter which work order category code will be populated with the segment value during order entry.
To control the printing of configured item information on sales orders, purchase orders, and work orders, complete these fields.
- SpB Nbr (number of spaces before) and SpA Nbr (number of spaces after)
Enter the number of spaces that should print before or after the segment information in the user-defined format.
- Return and Start New Line
Enter a UDC (32/YN) that indicates whether the system starts a new line after it prints the segment information. Values are:
1: Start a new line after the segment information.
0: Continue printing on the same line.
If the system does not start a new line, it prints the Configurator segment delimiter from the Configurator constants.
- Print Segment Number, Print Segment Description, Print Segment Value, and Print Segment Value Description
Enter a UDC (32/YN) that specifies whether the system prints the segment number, segment description, segment value, or segment value description on the order paperwork. Values are:
0: Do not print.
1: Print.
For a sales order, the system prints the segment number, segment description, segment value, or segment value description on the pick slip and the printed invoice. For a work order, the system prints the segment number, the segment description, the segment value, or the segment value description on the printed parts list.
Note: You can select the format for displaying configured item text. You can display the system-generated configuration information or use the detail area to create custom text that prints on sales orders, work orders, pick lists, and invoices.
