Changing Views on the Body Screen

On the Sales Order Entry Body screen, you can select any of several columnar views to display specific information about an order. For example, if a salesperson wants to see the commission percentage for each item on the order, he or she could change to a view that includes that information.

The views you can choose from depend on your authorization in the system. For example, views that show sensitive pricing information are not available to everyone. Some custom views are also set up in User Maintenance. If you need a view that is not available to you, see your system administrator.
