Using Detail Status Codes

You use detail status codes to indicate the approval stage of an account on a change request. Detail status codes are user-defined codes (UDCs) that define:

  • Which ledgers in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system to update.

  • The record type (cost, revenue, or subcontract).

  • The amount and quantity type of the line item (original, quoted, final, or best).

Different status codes often represent different stages of the process. For example, you might have codes for accounts that are submitted, rejected, committed to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management, and approved. At any time during the approval process, you can update the detail status code manually or by using the Global Status Update program.

When you set up detail status codes in the Change Request Detail Status Update Table (F53101), you associate each of them with an amount type (original, quoted, final, or best) and with a record type (cost, revenue, or subcontract). You also associate ledger types with some of the detail status codes. Associating amount, record, and ledger types with detail status codes lets you use the status codes to specify how the system updates account balance information at various approval stages.

Detail status codes update ledger information only if you associate a ledger type with the status code. When you update an account in a detail line with a detail status code that is associated with a ledger type, the system updates the appropriate ledger. You typically associate a ledger type with a status code that signifies that the detail line item on the change request is approved. When you attach a ledger type to a detail status code, you also specify which amount type (original, quoted, final, or best) that the system uses when updating the associated ledger.

You define detail status codes in the Change Request Detail Status Update Table.

Note: Do not confuse status codes that are defined in the Change Request Detail Status Update Table (F53101) with status codes that are defined in the User Defined Codes table (F0005). Status codes that are defined in the User Defined Codes table provide information for a change request and are informational only. They do not update ledgers.
