Customizing Request Type Fields - Free: Amount
Customizing Request Type Fields - Free: Amount
Introduction
You can configure up to five Free: Amount fields in a
request type. The fields are useful if you want to calculate or record monetary
or numerical value of up to two decimal points for your custom data interpretation.
The fields can be used to automatically perform mathematical operations based
on the data from two other fields, which include values from Free: Number,
other Free: Amount, Amount, Amount (Realized), Amount
(Pricelist), and Amount (Realized - Pricelist) fields.
Description
The following describes only the settings specific for the Free:
Amount fields. For more information on the menu path, roles and rights,
buttons, and other settings available in most request fields, see Customizing
Request Type Fields (Main Document).
- Search keyword: Type "free" in the Name
box and click Refresh. Click a Free: Amount field to add and
configure the field in the request type. You may have to click
Next
at the bottom of the fields selection page to find the field.
- Automatic label: In a generated request form, the
automatic label is the same as the field name. Since free fields are for
custom data where the interpretation of the data is according to your
preference, consider customizing the Label section to enable users
to understand the purpose of the fields.
Default section

Default
Type the default amount from 0.00 to 9,999,999.99
to be entered in the Free: Amount field of a newly-created request. A
user can change the default amount unless you have disabled the editing of this
field for a relevant status of the request in the Edit section.
If the Calculation section is configured, the default
amount will be replaced with the calculated amount once the request is posted
to the system such as by submitting or saving the request. The user can also click
Calculate
to calculate the amount from the two source fields selected in the Calculation
section and the calculated amount will replace the default amount.
Calculation section

Field 1
Select Free: Number, Free: Amount, or Amount
as the first source field for the amount calculation.
Note: You can select the same Free: Amount you
are configuring as the first source field. In this case, when the user click
Calculate,
the system will use the current value in the amount field as the first source
field to perform the calculation and replace the current amount with the
calculated amount. However, if the current Free: Amount field is blank,
no calculation will be performed even if there are values in the second source
field.
Field 2
Select Free: Number, Free: Amount, or Amount
as the second source field for the amount calculation.
Note: You can select the same Free: Amount you
are configuring as the second source field. In this case, when the user click
Calculate,
the system will use the current value in the amount field as the second source
field to perform the calculation and replace the current amount with the
calculated amount. However, if the current Free: Amount field is blank,
no calculation will be performed even if there are values in the first source
field.
Operator
Select the mathematical operation to perform on the values
from the first and second source fields:
- Plus (+) - Select this to add the source value in Field
1 with the source value in Field 2.
- Minus (-) - Select this to subtract the source value
in Field 2 from the source value in Field 1.
- Multiply - Select this to multiply the source value
in Field 1 by the source value in Field 2.
- Divide (/) - Select this to divide the source value
in Field 1 by the source value in Field 2.
- Field 1 * (Field 2/100) - Select this to multiply
the source value in Field 1 by the percentage of the source value
in Field 2.
- (Field 1 / Field 2) % - Select this to calculate
the percentage of the source value in Field 1 to the source value
in Field 2.
