Process

These processing options specify information such as the unit of measure, line types for stock and nonstock items, the blanket order type, and how the system calculates the requested date.

1. Transaction Unit of Measure

Specify the unit of measure for the system to use as the default for the Transaction Unit of Measure field. This unit of measure is associated with the quantity that is being purchased. Values are:

Blank: Use the Purchasing Unit of Measure.

1: Use the Primary Unit of Measure from the F4101 table.

To review the values for the Primary Unit of Measure and the Purchasing Unit of Measure, select the Weights and Measures tab on the Item Master Information form.

2. Stocked Line Type

Specify how the system processes lines on a transaction. The line type affects the systems with which the transaction interacts (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable from Oracle, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management). The line type also specifies the conditions for including a line on reports and in calculations. Some examples of values, which have been defined on the Line Type Constants Revisions form, are:

S: Stock item.

J: Job cost, subcontracts, or purchasing to the general ledger.

B: General ledger account and item number.

N: Nonstock item.

F: Freight.

T: Text information.

M: Miscellaneous charges and credits.

W: Work order.

If you specify a line type for this processing option, the system uses the line type for purchase orders that the system creates for all items that are processed using this version.

Do not specify a line type for both this processing option and the next processing option (Line Type for Non-Stock) on the Process tab. If you do specify a line type for stock items and nonstock items, the system uses only the line type that you specify for this processing option (stock).

3. Non-Stocked Line Type

Specify how the system processes lines on a transaction. The line type affects the systems with which the transaction interacts (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management). The line type also specifies the conditions for including a line on reports and in calculations. Some examples of values, which have been defined on the Line Type Constants Revisions form, are:

S: Stock item.

J: Job cost, subcontracts, or purchasing to the general ledger.

B: General ledger account and item number.

N: Nonstock item.

F: Freight.

T: Text information.

M: Miscellaneous charges and credits.

W: Work order.

If you specify a line type for this processing option, the system uses the line type for purchase orders that the system creates for all items that are processed using this version.

Do not specify a line type for both this processing option and the previous processing option (Line Type for Stock) on the Process tab. If you do specify a line type for both stock items and nonstock items, the system uses only the line type that you specify for stock items.

4. Blanket Order Type for Release

Specify the order type that is associated with blanket purchase order processing. If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not perform automatic blanket order release processing.

5. Requested Date

Specify how to calculate the requested date. Values are:

Blank: Do not add lead time to the order date. If the requested date is blank, the system uses today's date.

1: Add lead time to the order date to produce the requested date.

The system retrieves lead time information from the F43090 table in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system.

2: Add lead time to order date to obtain the nearest future working day.

The system retrieves lead time from the F43090 table and then calculates the nearest future working date to be the requested date. When the calculated date is not a working day, the system also displays the warning message “Moved requested date to next working day.”

6. Use Minimum Order Quantity in SOQ Calculation

Specify whether to use the minimum reorder quantity in suggested order quantity (SOQ) calculation. Values are:

Blank: Use the minimum reorder quantity when the suggested order quantity is greater than zero.

1: Use the minimum reorder quantity when the suggested order quantity is equal to zero.

Note: Minimum reorder quantity will be used in SOQ calculation, only when SOQ is less than minimum reorder quantity.

7. Suggested Order Quantity Rounding (Release 9.2 Update)

Specify whether to allow rounding of the Suggested Order Quantity (SOQ). Values are:

Blank: System allows rounding and Suggested Order Quantity is rounded to a whole number.

1: System does not allow rounding and Suggested Order Quantity is calculated based on the decimal value of data item QTYINV.
