Object Specific Definition

Object Specific Definition lists the fields placed on one screen: for each, when it is shown and editable, its lookup list, and whether it is required, unique or must exist.

What it is for​

These are configuration screens: they change the product for every client that shares the configuration, so they are worked by ABS consultants, normally on the development system. Per-company changes do not belong here: use the Default Parameters of the module’s setting screen, such as Organizational Structure Setting.

If something looks wrong​

  • Save refuses because the code already exists. Codes are unique. Open the existing record from the list instead, or pick another code.
