User-Defined Info Subtask

Use this subtask to define user-defined information when creating a sales order.

You must have already established the labels for these user-defined fields on the Manage Order User-Defined Labels screen.

You can also use this screen to view validated text and labels that were entered on the Manage Order User-Defined Labels screen.

You must set up the labels or validated text for user-defined fields on the Manage Sales Order User-Defined Labels screen before they display on this screen. Although you can set them up at any time, for more complete sales order information, you should set them up before entering any sales order.
