Manage Vendor User-Defined Labels

Use this screen to customize labels for the user-defined fields in the Vendor table.

You can use user-defined labels to enter and track more information about your vendors. These labels are optional, but if there is additional information that you want to capture about a vendor, you can set up labels in this screen.

Validated text labels make it possible to use lookups. You can create these labels in either of the following ways:

  • Select the Validated Text check box and use the Validated Text block to customize the information that displays when you use lookup on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendor screen.
  • Clear the Validated Text check box and click in the Costpoint Validation Field to select the Costpoint data table column that will be used for lookup on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendor screen.

Although you can set up labels or validated text at any time, for more complete vendor information, set them up before you enter records for any customers.

Note: If you delete a label from these tables, all references to that label are deleted from the vendor tables.
