User-Defined Info Subtask
Use this subtask to assign values to the user-defined fields for each item within Product Definition.
The labels for these user-defined fields must have been established previously on the Manage Item User-Defined Labels screen.
Set up this screen when initializing information for the goods ID, and after you have established the Manage Item User-Defined Labels screen. Maintain this screen whenever you need to modify or add data in the Values field.
