Committing in Proof and Final Mode

You can commit in either proof or final mode by setting a processing option. After you commit in final mode, you cannot make any changes to the subcontract or contract information in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Change Management system.

To prevent accidentally committing in final mode, you can set the processing option in the Change Request Entry program to one mode, and set the processing option in the Subcontract Details/Commit or Change Request Revenue Details programs to the other mode. For example, you can set the processing option in the Change Request Entry program to commit subcontracts in proof mode and set the processing option in the Subcontract Details/Commit program to commit in final mode. If you set the programs to different modes and always use one program for committing in proof mode and the other for committing in final mode, you minimize the chance for error.

Committing in proof mode from the Change Request Entry form is recommended because you must make any necessary changes to the account from the Change Request Entry program. After you make any necessary changes, such as updating the detail status code or updating monetary amounts, you can commit the subcontract or contract information. When you commit, the system generates a report that you can review to verify that all amounts and accounts are correct. You can then re-commit and review the new report. When all entries are correct, you can commit in final mode from the Subcontract Detail/Commit or Change Request Revenue Details program.
