Understanding Product Data Management Setup

Before you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system you must set up:

• User-defined codes (UDCs) and standard procedures for the bills of material.

• Manufacturing constants and decimal settings that are unique to the branch/plants.

• Company work days and shifts by month and year.

You must set up manufacturing information that is necessary for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system. This information includes decimal placement for quantities, manufacturing constants, and calendars. If you want the system to display quantities with the decimal set to something other that zero, you must change the decimal setting. You can change the manufacturing constants to record bill of material changes, perform online component and parent validation, and retrieve information from the master routing when attaching the routing instructions. You define workdays and shifts for the branch/plants by month and year by using the shop floor calendar.
