7 Hide Data Fields on General Specifications

This chapter contains these topics:

• Section 7.1, "Hiding Data Fields on General Specifications,"

• Section 7.2, "Identifying Field IDs,"

• Section 7.3, "Adding Field IDs to the Field Suppression Table."

7.1 Hiding Data Fields on General Specifications

You can prevent data fields in the Item Master table (F1201) and Item Balances table (F1202) from appearing on the General Specifications screen when you create a new version or choose Display All Fields. Hiding fields reduces the number of pages that you have to roll through to select or assign sequence numbers to data fields. Hide only data fields that you won't typically need to select or assign sequence numbers.

This section contains the following:

• Identifying Field IDs

• Adding Field IDs to the Field Suppression Table

7.2 Identifying Field IDs

You hide data fields on General Specifications by adding the field IDs of the data fields to the Field Suppression user-defined code table (system 12/type FS). Before you add the field IDs to the table, you need to identify the IDs of data fields you want to hide on General Specifications. To view a list of the field IDs, use hidden selection 40 (File Field Description) from any menu, enter the table number in the File field and press Enter.

You can display data fields on General Specifications that are not currently displayed by deleting the field IDs on the Field Suppression user-defined code table.

7.3 Adding Field IDs to the Field Suppression Table

Navigation

From Fixed Assets (G12), enter 29

From Fixed Assets System Setup (G1241), choose User Defined Codes

From Fixed Assets User Defined Codes (G1242), choose an option

After you identify the field IDs, you add the IDs to the Field Suppression user-defined code table (system 12/type FS) to hide data fields on General Specifications. You can also display data fields on General Specifications that are not currently displayed. To do so, delete the field IDs from the Field Suppression user-defined code table.
