User fields (BL/DST)

To collect additional information not already tracked, you can use user fields in the Lawson applications. You can attach user fields to various transaction categories. However, user fields do not have a specific purpose until you define the type of data that you can specify in the field. Examples of these data are Alpha, Date, Amount, or Numeric.

The Order Entry application has three categories of user fields with up to five fields per category. You can tag these fields along with transactions such as order, invoice, and ship-to. You can also inspect these fields.
