Enter a 20-character, uppercase alphanumeric UDT09 code. Each code must be unique.

Note: The number of characters you enter cannot exceed the size that was set up in the Configuration screen for UDT09.

Enter up to 30 characters for a UDT09 description. You should make descriptions as short as possible and properly capitalize them because they are used in drop-down boxes and as column headings for reports and inquiries.

Enter a unique abbreviation for this UDT09.  It can be up to 20 characters. If, in the General Configuration screen, you have configured the system to use abbreviations, this field is optional. If you do not enter an abbreviation here and try to save a record, the system will display a warning that says: "UDT09 abbreviations are turned on and you have not supplied an abbreviation."

This field will display only if you selected the Costpoint Multicompany checkbox in the Miscellaneous tab of the General Configuration screen. See the "Costpoint Multicompany" special topic for details on this feature.

Use the drop-down box to select the Costpoint company that you wish to associate with this UDT09. For a new UDT09, the first Costpoint company in the list is the default value.

Select this checkbox if the UDT09 is active. The default value for this checkbox is checked.
