User Defined Tables

On this page:


Use this option to set up and maintain tables for verifying fields in userdefined vendor pages created in the Fund Accounting Profile. User-defined pages are created by your site to track vendor information not otherwise stored in the baseline PowerSchool ERP software.

If a user-defined page has any fields designated as table-verified, then you need to create the table and records to use for validation in the User Defined Tables page. For information on user-defined vendor pages, refer to the Vendor List.

Each record in a table includes three fields. The first identifies the table itself, while the other two are used for entering records consisting of a code and a description.
