Codes and coded fields provide several advantages. First, they ensure that information is entered consistently and accurately. (Typos are eliminated.) Second, they let you define the valid options that users can choose from. For example, users cannot order items from just any vendor; instead, they must choose from a list of approved vendors. Finally, coded fields cut down on repetitious data entry. You enter information about a vendor only once—on the vendor record. When the user enters the vendor on the purchase order, Horizon automatically supplies the order with the vendor’s address and other vendor information from the vendor record.
