Header Tabs are used to separate and organize Header fields on Transactions and Master Files. They are used for several reasons including:
- Where properties need to grouped together with similar properties. For example, the Shipments tab on a Sales Order transaction contains all the properties related to Shipments.
- Where User Security and/or visibility needs to be controlled for similar properties. For example, a User may have rights to change an Item Description but not the GL Accounts that are updated when sales and inventory transactions are posted.
- When there are so many properties it is easier to organize them on Tabs. For example, a Fish Ticket has over 50 header properties, showing these all on one record view would be cluttered and overwhelming for users.
