A user-defined table (UDT) was created to store information about General Ledger projects, including project codes, project descriptions, and project supervisors. All General Ledger projects have a 10-character project code, which was used as the key field to the table. UDFs for the project description and supervisor were added to the UDT.

In the User-Defined Table Maintenance window, the project codes are entered in the Project Code column. The corresponding project descriptions and supervisors for each project are entered in the Description and Supervisor columns, as follows:
