Q13739 - INFO: Purchase Orders Entry, User Defined Fields Tab

Tab allows you to enter User Defined Fields (UDF) within Purchase Orders Entry. These fields can be used to track any additional information about the PO that you require. For example, you may want to track the cost center for the order. You simply need to rename the User Defined field to Cost Center and enter your information.

Double click on the field caption to rename the field or use User Defined Field setup to rename and setup a list of values for the field.

When you rename a User Defined field, you change the caption for that field on ALL PO records, in other words it applies to all records not just the one you are on. The text you enter in the associated field will be unique for each PO-IIM record.

FIELDS:

9 Inactive Fields: Enter up to 50 characters of label/caption for the field.

Note: The information you enter is plain text – similar to what you might type in the Notes Tab. However, you cannot enter as much info as you would in the Notes Tab, you have a maximum of 50 characters in the UDF.

1.     In the Purchasing Entry UDF Tab double-click on the word “Inactive”.

2.     The “Set user define Caption” window opens. Enter the label/caption for the field. An example might be “Cost Center" if you would like this field to track the cost center for the PO.

         NOTE: The caption is limited to 25 characters, including spaces between words.
