I just learned an interesting different between Acumatica User-Defined Fields and Attributes.

You can control access to User-Defined Fields using Field-Level Security. But you can't use Field-Level Security with Attributes.

I guess it makes sense that extra functionality would be available with User-Defined Fields since they are newer and cooler than Attributes.

 

Here is a UDF on the Sales Orders (SO301000) screen:

And here is the UDF in field-level security:

On the flip side, when using grouping in a generic inquiry, Attributes will display on every line, but UDFs will not. Not sure why they would set it up like that.
