To create and modify EDI keywords. It can also be used for the deletion of inactive EDI
keywords.
EDI keywords are used by formulas throughout the EDI system. When you use an EDI keyword
in a formula, the value in the file and field specified for this keyword is used as part
of the formula. Essentially, they are the "building blocks" of a formula.
Keywords are aliases to their corresponding dictionary fields. In the example shown above
the keyword INVADDCA represents the database field invoice-add.amount.
Using keywords makes for more compact formulae and also allow you to define words that
mean something to you. These keywords can then be used as part of a formula within a
mapping relationship.
We provide a number of keywords with the payroll module; you may add them as needed. Here is a list of the keywords that are installed with the module. More information on how formulas work can be found here.
