In this recipe, we will set up the procurement document type by setting up UDC 00/DT with the values that you use to indicate the document types to be used for procurement. For example, OP indicates a purchase order.
When you enter a value in UDC 00/DT, the system identifies this as a document type. UDC (00/DT) also indicates the origin of the transaction. The EnterpriseOne system has reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets, which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries are not self-balancing when you originally enter them). These document types are defined by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and should not be changed. When you create an order detail line, the system verifies that the document type exists in UDC 40/CT, that the line type has an inventory interface of A, B, or C, and automatically creates commitments and encumbrances. When you want to define a new Order Type, you first need to set up the Order Type in UDC 00/ DT. After that, it is necessary to clear the server cache in order to use that document type in further set up activities.
These are predefined prefixes for document types, and these should not be changed:
If you enter a document type, the system displays only the orders of the document type that you specify. You can create different versions that correspond to the different document types that you use.
