You can change the label on any field in Acumatica or even translate it into a foreign language. Since Acumatica stores everything as NVARCHAR in the database, you have access to the full Unicode character set which includes characters for all languages (as far as I know), including Chinese and Japanese, not just languages with Latin characters like Spanish, English, and French.

Let’s say you want to change the label on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) screen from “Owner” to “Employee”. You can do it like this:

1. Go to the Translation Dictionaries (SM200540) screen
2. Select the Language you are translating into or just select your Language to change field labels
3. Select the Purchase Orders screen in the Show Used in UI field
4. Filter on the Source Value field for Contains Owner
5. Type “Employee” (or whatever your new value is) in the English field
6. After you save, the row will disappear. To make it appear again, click the Show Localized box on the top

 

This is what the results look like:
