About Optional Fields in Accounts Receivable

You can edit invoice detail optional fields on the A/R Invoice Entry screen.

To change the optional fields for a document detail:

  1. Open Accounts Receivable > A/R Transactions > Invoice Entry.

  2. Display the batch and the invoice you want to edit.
  3. Select an invoice detail.
  4. Click the information displayed in the Optional Fields cell for the detail (Yes or No), and then click the Finder that appears.

    An Optional Fields screen appears, displaying any invoice detail optional fields that are marked for automatic insertion.

  5. On the Optional Fields screen, add or delete optional fields for the detail. You can add any optional fields that are defined for invoice details.

    You can change the default value that appears for an optional field:

    • If the optional field is validated, you must specify a value that is defined for the optional field on the Optional Fields screen in Common Services.

      Note: If the optional field allows blanks, you can leave the value field blank.

    • If the optional field is not validated, you can enter any value that is consistent with the type of field (such as yes/no, text, number, date, or amount), providing the value you enter does not exceed the length permitted for the field. You can also leave the field blank.

    When you specify a value that is defined on the Optional Fields screen in Common Services, the description for the value is also displayed.

  6. Close the Optional Fields window to return to the A/R Invoice Entry screen.
