Task Types for ETO Projects

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order enables you to use several different task types as part of the work breakdown structure. Each task type represents a different type of activity that is related to the project that might require different actions on the part of the project manager and responsible project employees. You can use only task types that are set up in the Document Type Maintenance program (P40040).

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order includes two categories of tasks: production and nonproduction tasks. Nonproduction tasks include summary or detail tasks, equipment orders, and service orders. Production tasks consist of discrete manufacturing work orders that you use to build something. Production tasks are always associated with an item, whereas item numbers are optional for nonproduction tasks. All tasks in a work breakdown structure are work-order master records that are stored in the Work Order Master Table (F4801).

The task type also determines how the cost roll-up is set up and performed. For production tasks, costs are mapped by cost type and are stored in the Production Cost table (F3102). For nonproduction tasks, costs are mapped by account and are stored in the Account Ledger table (F0911).
