Missing Fields in Form Settings

[Former Member]

This is probably a two part questions - but it is related.

I have added a user defined field to my documents - but it does not show up on a AP Credit memo in form settings.

More specifically, I added the vendor part number as a user defined field so purchasing and AP can see it in the form. It shows up on the purchasing, good receipt, AP invoice but I cannot added it to the AP Credit Memo.

I also need to add the 'free text' field to an inventory transfer. I can see the field in the database but it is not available in Form settings. I would prefer to add an existing field instead of adding another user defined field.

Is there any way to make the form settings aware that an existing field can be added through form settings?

To answer your first question-make sure you did the following to set up your user-defined field

Tools>Customization Tools>User-defined field management

drill down under marketing documents

highlight row (level) and then click add

enter your user-defined field and update

this will show in all marketing documents on the row level and in the form settings as the last field.

This fnew Vendor field also showed up on the inventory transfer- so you can do the same as above

except add a free text field. Then in the form setting set it visible and active to the documents you want it to be visible on

I added a UDF to the marketing row about 3 month ago.

I have used this field to display the BP cross ref number on P.O. good reciepts and invoices using a format search for about the same length of time.

I cannot add the field to the ap credit memo Form. I see the contents of the field when I do a sql query against the AP Credit memo Row (I don't have SAP up and running at the moment, I think the table is RIC1? )

The same is true of the 'FreeText' field on a inventory transfer, I can 'see' the field in a SQL query, but I can not expose the field in the Inventory transfer form.

You don't need to add UDF to the form setting. In fact, you can not add them. What could you see in the table field list?

I believe you add those UDF in the line level, right? In that case, it will be available for all marketing documents. If that is not the case, something must be terribly wrong. Please double check your form setting. All UDF should be in the bottom to select with. You have to restart B1 to get the new update of UDF. Also make sure you add UDF when nobody connect to the database.
