Setting Up User-Defined Fields

PeopleSoft Receivables provides 22 fields in the Item (PS_ITEM) and Pending Item (PS_PENDING_ITEM) tables that you can use to track company-specific or industry-specific information that is not predefined on these tables, such as a shipment date. You define the value to use for each of the fields, and you can specify what to use for the field label. User fields include:

• USER_DT1 through USER_DT4, which store date values.

• USER1 through USER10, which store single-character values.

• USER_AMT1 through USER_AMT8, which store numeric values.

The USER1 through USER10 fields are one-character fields. You should modify the field length to meet the requirements of your organization.

Use PeopleSoft Application Designer to change the field labels and field lengths. For more information, see the PeopleTools: Application Designer Developer's Guide.
