Understanding Hierarchical Logs

Log information is supplemental to the information contained in an order. Checks and balances are put in place during the progress payment function to enforce compliance with the logs. Log information is typically specific to the vendor and not on a contract-by-contract basis. However, bonding can be at a job or contract level. Logs can be entered and modified at multiple hierarchical levels. Log details can be added at an individual contract level or at global levels, such as company, subcontractor, project, or job. These individual levels can then be activated or deactivated based on the business process.

Entry of logs is available from contract entry as well as any time during the project. The logs and hierarchies are maintained in the Log Master table (F4305).

See "JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management Reports" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Subcontract Management Implementation Guide.

Note: If you currently use the Log Master Revisions program (P4303) for single-level logs at the contract level, you can run conversion programs and use the hierarchical logs feature.

Note: You can use either the Log Master Revisions program (P4303) or the Logs Entry program (P4305) to create and maintain log information. You cannot use both log programs in the system.
