Opening a Component Window
You can open a component window by double-clicking the component.
To open the window of a component
1 Double-click the component whose window you want to open.
For example, if the Order window is open and it has the component Row (s),
when you double-click the component Row (s), it opens the window of Row.
Note If a component is an item type, the item window appears. For information about
item windows, see the section Item Window.
Required and Optional Data
Sometimes, a certain data object is optional; it does not have to be present in the
data. For example, in purchase order data, there might be a billing address and a
shipping address. If the company wants the items shipped to the billing address,
the shipping address would not appear in the data. The shipping address would be
optional; it might not appear in the data.
