Purpose: Use the Enter User Fields Screen in Order Entry to capture any type of additional information about the customer.
For more information: On setting up user-defined fields for customer classes, see Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF)
How to display this screen: At the Work with Order Screen enter a new or existing customer and, based on the settings of these system control values, the Enter User Field screen opens:
• User-defined Field Prompting for Existing Customers (D33)
• Customer Class for User Defined Field Prompting (G04)
These two system control values work together to determine if:
• the system prompts for new and/or existing customers, or both
• whether the prompt is restricted to a particular customer class
• whether the Enter User Fields Screen continues to prompt until the user-defined information is supplied
