Adding User Defined Fields in MYOB Advanced
Hello and welcome to our 'tip pf the month' for MYOB Advanced Users. Most projects we deliver often find they require the capture of certain data that is either specific to the client or the application or industry. This could be data on the header of the record or at the line level i.e. capture additional details on a transaction to allow for additional reporting, as an example. These are known as user defined fields which are not already accounted for in the Cloud ERP system.
An example could be: Updated or extended warranty terms for your items which the customer could have purchased.
