SpendMap User Guide (v15)

PURCHASING > Setup system > User defined terminology and settings > User defined field names and terminology

 
SpendMap includes a number of user-definable fields.

This utility is used to change the titles of the primary user-definable fields. The titles that you enter here will be used on screens, reports and menus throughout the system.

Each of the fields has a corresponding Master File. For details on what each field is used for, see:

G/L Account Master File

Cost Center Master File

Request-By Master File

Project Master File

Job Master File

Tax Master File

Item Category Master File

 
In addition to renaming the fields on screens and reports throughout the system, if you are using one of the system's preconfigured form layouts (see references to the Printed Format field and the [CHANGE MY PO LAYOUT] button in PO Printing Settings), you can also specify different titles for the fields for your printed PO forms and other documents, using the adjacent fields.  For example, you might want to print "Acct." on your forms rather than "G/L Account" due to space limitations on the forms.

Finally, you can also select between USA and Canadian/British terminology, which will affect the titles and spelling of various fields and text throughout the system (e.g. zip code vs. postal code, color vs. colour, etc.).
