ID Number

   Information and features vary according to the user groups to which you belong and the permissions associated with those groups. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

An ID Number can be up to nine digits in length (e.g., 123456789) and is associated with the name of a person, organization, or location. The ID Number is used throughout J1 Desktop to locate that entity.

Additional Names

Users with the appropriate permissions can view and manage legal name information. To view legal names, hover over the name field. If the legal and campus names differ, you'll see a pop-up window. Example

To add or update legal names for an individual, right-click in the ID or Name field and select Additional Names??? The Additional Names window appears.

Name Entity Window

On the Name Entity window, you can create and assign your own ID Number to a new name entity. When you create a new ID Number, you will receive the following message: "This is not a valid ID Number. Do you wish to add a new ID Number and Name?" Choose Yes, and you can continue entering information. Click Save to accept the information and new ID Number. Also, when you enter a new name and Save, the system will automatically generate the next available ID Number.

Action Detail Window

Clicking the browse button beside the ID Number column on the Action Detail window opens the Name Search window.

Inventory Window (PO)

If the Populate inventory code drop-downs with vendor specific inventory codes checkbox is selected on the Purchasing Module Setup window, the Vendor ID Number column on a new row in the Inventory window (PO) is editable and the drop-down data window is populated with values where NAME_TYPE = 'VEND'.

If the Populate inventory code drop-downs with vendor specific inventory codes checkbox is cleared on the Purchasing Module Setup window, the Vendor ID Number column is never editable. The value of 999999999 will always default into a new row.

Requisitions Window (PO)

If you save the Detail tab that has line items attached to inventory codes and if the Populate inventory code drop-downs with vendor specific inventory codes checkbox is selected on the Purchasing Module Setup window, the Vendor ID Number column on the Requisitions window (PO) is not editable. If you attempt to edit the column, the following message displays: "You have already created detail line items with inventory codes from another vendor. If you wish to create a requisition with another vendor, please create a new requisition."

Purchase Orders Window (PO)

If you save the Detail tab that has line items attached to inventory codes and if the Populate inventory code drop-downs with vendor specific inventory codes checkbox is selected on the Purchasing Module Setup window, the Vendor ID Number column on the Purchase Orders window (PO) is not editable. If you attempt to edit the column, the following message displays: "You have already created detail line items with inventory codes from another vendor. If you wish to create a PO with another vendor, please create a new PO."

Users Window (TL)
