Acumatica ERP provides simple options for customization as per the user’s need to ease out the working environment. Acumatica has a set of pre-defined labels\/display names of the fields based on the ERP terminologies. These names are not specific to the business process and there is always a need to change them to make the user comfortable with existing terms used in their daily process instead of learning the standard naming conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we will learn the process of changing the display name of a field. Acumatica<\/a> provides multiple ways to overcome it and rename the labels. We will look at each of them separately considering Acumatica version build 21.205.0063. The steps should be the same for most versions but can differ based on changes implemented by Acumatica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Set Customization Attributes as \u201cAppend to Original\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Update the PXUIField<\/strong> attribute to have a new Display Name. i.e., change the value of Display Name from \u201cDate\u201d to \u201cOrder date\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Save the changes and published the project<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
