The fields that are activated will appear for data entry on the Vendor Custom Fields form.
Fields are activated by typing in a label in the text box to the right of the Custom Field that will be used. The data saved in these fields may be used for reporting purposes.
Here you may set up tables, which will provide the User with drop-down list of choices, money, text, date or check box fields. You may also define whether a field is required. If a field is checked as required, the User setting up a new Vendor or modifying an existing Vendor will be required to make a selection or enter information into any required fields.
You also have the option of defining what words will appear on the Custom fields tab of the Vendor record. This is entered in the Label field at the top of this setup form.
If you choose to use any of the Table type fields you will need to set up the choices that you would like to appear in the drop down list on the Vendor record. If you assign a label to Table 1, then you will enter the choices in the Custom Fields Table 1 (Vendor) setup table.
Only fields that have been assigned a name label will be available for data entry, otherwise these fields will be grayed-out on the data entry form of the Vendor Custom Fields.
