User-defined Field Prompting for Existing Customers (D33)
Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the system displays the User Fields screen automatically during Order Entry for existing customers if no information has been entered previously on this screen.
Yes/no field: Select this field to display the User Fields screen each time an existing customer places a new order if no information has been entered on this screen; otherwise, leave it unselected. If you leave it unselected, the User Fields screen appears only for new customers.
About User Fields screen: Use the User Fields screen to capture any type of additional information about a customer during order entry. You use the User Defined Fields menu option to create this screen and link it to the Customer Sold To table (CST). You can include any type of numeric, date, or text fields in the screen. See Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF).
Customer class: The Customer Class for User Defined Field Prompting (G04) system control value also plays a role in determining when the User Fields screen appears in order entry.
