Introduction

User-Defined Field (UDF) Type codes provide a listing of codes that appear on the User Defined tabs in Master Data for Chart of Accounts, AFE’s, Cost Centres and in the User Defined Info popup on Business Associates . They can contain such codes as tax codes, pool codes, area codes, cross reference codes, etc. There are 10 UDF type codes available for Chart of Accounts and 30 UDF type codes available for AFE’s, Business Associates and Cost Centres.

The User Defined Code Controls screen must first be populated before data can be added to the individual User Defined Field (UDF) Codes.

The User Defined Code Controls screen defines the Name and validation flags for the code whereas the User Defined Codes screen defines what values go in these codes.
