UDT - System vs Module - Can someone clarify for me? I was under the impression that UDT's were applicable for all companies and that the distinction was that module UDT's only worked within that module (for all companies) and system UDT's were applicable to all companies and all modules. With that in mind, I set up a UDT for the AR module but it appears that it is only active for the company that I set it up in, NOT all companies (i.e. that table data only appears in the company it was entered in). Or is this the same with SYSTEM UDT's in that you have to set the table up for each company?

Well, it appears that system tables are ALL modules and ALL companies while the module tables are just for that module and just the table for the company it was entered for..... Live and learn!

Instead of having the client rekey all 105 lines in the UDT (they didn't have VI to import), I created a system table with the same field names and sizes, then copied and renamed the AR UDT to the MAS_system folder. The table was maintable so I then modified the UDF code in AR to validate against the system table. All is well. Good lesson at the school of hard knocks....

Well done!!

Just last week I had something similar. Needed to make a copy of a MAS company which had a JobOps related UDT, so after I did the copy via Company Maint, I then manually copied the UDT .m4t file via Windows Explorer.
