Understanding Subcontract Logs

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Change Management system automatically creates a log when you commit a subcontract to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management system in final mode. A log is a record that the system creates so that you can track information that is supplemental to the information in a contract.

The system includes general information in each log, such as log type and log status. A log can also contain either of these types of information to refer to a document or activity:

  • Supplier address book number.

  • Contract number and contract type from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management system.

Logs can also include other information relevant to the contract, such as meeting dates, notes, and so on.

You can create logs manually or modify logs that the system creates. You can include information such as:

  • Submittals. A submittal is information that you need to receive from a subcontractor, such as proof of insurance.

  • Transmittals. A transmittal is information that you need to send to a subcontractor, such as permission to proceed.

You can also add descriptive text about the document or activity.

Log revisions are stored in the Log Master table (F4303). Descriptive text is stored in Media Objects.

You can select either the Logs Entry program (P4305) or the Log Master Revisions program (P4303) to work with logs. To use the Logs Entry program, you must enter a value of 04 in UDC 40/VF. You must also specify which log program you wish to use in the processing options for Change Request Entry (P5310) or Change Request Subcontract Details (P53301).
