The way to add and edit information in fields depends on the type of field.
When you enter information into fields, the system provides the format for the type of information that you enter in the following types of fields.
Date fields - accept only date parameters.
Number fields - accept only numbers.
Text fields - accept information in any format.
Code fields accept only predefined codes.
FlowFields display amounts and quantities calculated by the system, for example the Balance field for G/L accounts.
The system provides flexibility when you enter dates. It displays a calendar from which the user selects the required date.
