Understanding Order Line Types

Each purchase order that you enter must contain details about the items or services that you want to order. For each item or service, you must enter a line of detail information that describes the order, including the quantity and cost of the item or service. The system processes the detail line based on a line type.

The line type that you enter for a detail line determines how the transaction affects other systems, such as:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting from Oracle

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable

For example, you might create a line type for stock items. When you set up the line type, you specify that it affects item availability in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system. You also specify that it affects the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable systems. When you assign the line type to a purchase order detail line, the system:

• Increases the quantity of the item in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system (upon receipt).

• Creates ledger entries in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting system.

• Creates ledger entries in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system.

The line type for a detail line also determines the cycle through which the system processes the line (based on order activity rules). Examples of other information that you can specify for a line type include:

• Whether the detail line is subject to taxes.

• Whether the system applies freight charges to the detail line.

• Whether a receipt is required for a detail line (this setting can apply to either two-way or three-way voucher match).

• Whether the system edits the F4101 table for nonstock items.
