Configure Terminology

Use these to set naming conventions that are familiar to your business. Once set up, they are used throughout Sage 200 on entry windows, enquiries , reports and so on.

For example, the user reference you use is actually the employee number, so you want it to be referred to as that. A timesheet may be more usually referred to as a job sheet by your staff.

For each Field name, change the Caption to the term that you use in your business.

For example, you might call a Timesheet User an employee instead of a resource.

Note: Enter the singular version of the term; the plural version will be used automatically where appropriate.

Field	Caption
Resource Hierarchy	Hierarchy
User Reference	Works Number

Timesheet User	Resource

Expense transaction	Expense Claim

Click OK to confirm the changes.

Note: You will have to restart Sage 200 before the terminology changes will take effect.
