The CBS Code Label and CBS Item Label data elements are available as source strings, for Internationalization.

The following data elements are not available as source strings, for Internationalization:

CBS Code
CBS Picker
CBS Description

Also, the text "CBS Picker" is a system-defined string and not available as a source string, for Internationalization. If you want to change the text "CBS Picker," you can use the label name for the "bItemID" data element for the picker title. For example, if Cost Code" is the label name for the "bItemID" data element, then the picker title will be "Cost Code Picker."

Note: After you change the picker name, ensure that you do the same in the related column of the CSV, or Excel, import file to prevent import failure.
