Understanding Job Cost Integration
Depending on the company's business requirements, you can select to integrate the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order. You can use the features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost to perform profitability analysis and to use the service and contract billing features that you can access from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system. Using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order systems together might be particularly beneficial in a complex manufacturing environment that includes long-term projects.
You need JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost integration to perform financial commitments for manufacturing work orders. To make financial commitments for manufacturing work orders, you must set up the manufacturing work order document type in the Commitment Document Types UDC table (40/CT).
To enable project-specific accounting, you use the Special Handling Code field in the Project Accounting UDC table (31P/AI) to set up these AAIs to include project-specific accounts:
3110 (Inventory/Raw Material)
3120 (Work in Process)
3130 (Subassembly/Finished Goods)
3140 (Project Contra)
4310 (Inventory)
4315 (Non-Inventory)
To activate the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system when you set up the attributes for a project, you select the Interface to Job Cost option in the project attributes. To use the features of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system, you must define a GL class code. Next, you must create a record in the Extended Job Master table (F5108). The business unit from the extended job master record becomes the default business unit for the project header and tasks. You must add a chart of accounts that provides the subsidiary accounts that you assign to the project and the tasks. If job cost integration is activated, each task in the work breakdown structure requires a subsidiary.
