UDF question. Another consultant added 20 UDF's to the SO_SalesOrderDetail table. Now I would like to print some of those UDFs on the Sales Order form and the SO Invoice form. Can I create UDFs in the SO_SalesOrderWrk and the SO_InvoiceWrk tables that reference and contain the data saved in the 20 original UDFs? Can you create UDFs in one table from UDFs in another table?

Yes - keeps you from having to use linked tables.

Yes. In fact, that's the preferred method (at least for me). I'd also create the UDF's in SO_InvoiceDetail, and in invoice history. You'll need them when you reprint an old invoice.

And just to share - if it's a UDF on the HEADER, then it needs to go thru AR_TransactionPosting on its way to AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader

Be sure to link the AR_invoice history UDF's BACK to the SO_InvoiceWrk table or else they won't appear when you reprint the invoice from history.

As a matter of fact, you, Mr @JeffSchwenk, taught me that a few billion years ago and I've been the hero several times since then where other support folks forgot to set them up.

Incredible that we are that old...............

Thanks everyone. But just to make sure I'm clear (and maybe help someone else) If one of the UDFs on the SO_SalesOrderDetail table is a UDF called CASES. If I want to print that UDF on the Sales Order, SO Invoice and from AR History, I will need to add that UDF to 1) SO_SalesOrderWrk, 2) SO_Invoice, 3)SO_InvoiceWrk, 4) AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail and 5)AR_InvoiceHistoryWrk? @BethBowers are you suggesting that I also need to modify some posting routine to get the SO_Invoice UDF to write to the AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail table?

You have to add the UDF's to a couple of tables. I think from the SO_posting you go the AR_historyHeader table next. Then back to he SO_nvoiceWRK table.

Also include AR_TransactionPosting. I think @BethBowers was referring to going back and editing some of the work table UDF's to draw from invoice history (sample attached).

The attached should help out too @MichaelMcDonald

Oops, you're right @DanBurleson I was having problems with FireFox yesterday and attaching files and probably picked up the wrong one....here's the more current version
