Unlocking Acumatica's Potential: Tailoring Your System with User-Defined Fields

This video demonstrates how to leverage the power of user-defined fields in Acumatica Cloud ERP to capture and analyze critical business data.

Challenges:

Many businesses face the challenge of tracking data points that are unique to their operations and not captured by standard ERP fields. This can lead to:

  • Limited Visibility: Key performance indicators (KPIs) specific to the business might not be easily trackable or reportable.
  • Manual Workarounds: Relying on spreadsheets or other external tools to manage data outside the ERP can be inefficient and prone to errors.
  • Siloed Information: Data stored outside the ERP can lead to a fragmented view of the business, hindering informed decision-making.
  • Difficulty in Analysis: Comparing performance across branches, departments, or other custom segments can be challenging without a centralized way to track this information.

Solution

Acumatica’s robust customization capabilities, particularly user-defined fields, offer a powerful solution. These fields allow you to:

  • Capture Critical Data: Extend the functionality of existing screens, such as the Journal Transaction screen, to track data points that are essential for your business.
  • Improve Data Accuracy: By integrating this data directly into Acumatica, you eliminate manual processes and reduce the risk of errors.
  • Gain Deeper Insights: Analyze custom data using Acumatica’s powerful reporting tools, such as Generic Inquiries, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business performance.
  • Streamline Decision-Making: Access to real-time data and customized reports empowers you to make more informed decisions.

Benefits of User-Defined Fields:

  • Tailored to Your Needs: Acumatica adapts to your specific requirements, capturing the data that matters most to your business.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Eliminate manual data entry and reporting processes, saving time and resources.
  • Improved Data Accuracy: Ensure data integrity by integrating all critical information into your core ERP system. 
  • Better Insights, Better Decisions: Leverage customized reports and dashboards to gain a deeper understanding of your business and drive strategic decision-making.

This video showcases a practical example of how to implement user-defined fields within Acumatica to enhance the Journal Transaction screen. It covers:

  • Creating custom attributes to define the data types for the new fields.
  • Using Value IDs to provide predefined options for data entry.
  • Customizing the screen layout to accommodate the new fields.
  • Entering data efficiently using tools like the Statistical Ledger.
  • Retrieving and analyzing data through Generic Inquiries.
