Custom fields

Using individually configurable fields, the SMACC tool offers enormous flexibility. As a user, you can manage common data sets such as cost centers within the individual fields function, or create internal company data fields. Individual fields can be created on document level as well as on accounting record level. There is the possibility to store fixed values, which can be selected in the document in the form of a dropdown, or to create a free text field in which users can make entries.

Note: If these values should be included in the data transfer, this should be coordinated with your accounting software beforehand. In addition, the values should be maintained in both systems if there is no direct connection.

Most common use: Cost Centers, Cost Objects, Dimensions, Project Numbers, Department, Country, Customer, Purchase order numbers (P.O. Number)
