Understanding UDCs

You can define most standard information in UDCs. Generally, you define these codes for the business purposes. Many of these codes are set up by the system and are included when you install the system. When a UDC is referred to as hard-coded, you should not change it. Programming has been defined to work with hard-coded UDCs. If you change the UDC, the programming will not work correctly.

Each system has its own UDC types. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation is system 39. It also integrates with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, such as the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system. UDCs are referenced by the system number and type. Therefore, 39/OD indicates that OD (Outgoing Doc Types) is a UDC type for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation system.
