Understanding Media Object Attachments for Configured Items

You can attach media objects to configured Item Master records, segments, and UDCs to use within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system. This feature of the system enables you to include a visual cue of configured items, configured item segments, and UDC values, which can be used for segment answers within order entry. Media objects can be photos, graphics, files, or text documents, including information that might initially exist on a paper document.

Note: The media object is attached to the Item Master through the Internal Attachment option on the Row menu, not to the Item Branch/Plant.

The media objects that you define appear on the Configure Item form at order entry. As you select a configured item from the Item Filter option, the media object displays the image from the Item Master for the related configured item number. The segment or segment-answer user-defined code displays the media object when a row is selected.

The display of media objects at order entry is controlled by the processing options for the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210). The Media Object Display processing option controls whether an attached media object appears on the form during order entry. The Media Object Display Order processing option specifies the order in which media objects appear on the form if more than one media object type is attached to a configured item, configured segment, or UDC segment value.
