- When this data needs to be available as a choice in transactions, reports, filters, or settings.
- When existing data needs correction because policies, accounts, prices, contacts, or operating rules have changed.
Before You Start
- Make sure the user has access to this menu and the related reference data has already been prepared.
- Check required fields first, especially codes, names, dates, accounts, customers, suppliers, products, divisions, or departments.
- If the form uses active status, confirm the status before saving so the data appears in the correct selections.
