Understanding Constant Setup

To use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system in conjunction with your integrated system, you must indicate the parameters that the system uses to standardize information processing. You set up constants to indicate how the system should process information.

You must activate cost objects before using the costing features in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system. You must activate additional features for activity-based costing and define whether the system uses total costs or detail product costs for each branch/plant. Branch/plant constants allow you to customize the daily transaction processes for each branch/plant in the manufacturing and distribution systems.
