Is there a way to indicate that an employee is a Veteran?

We are in the process of converting to Acumatica and in the migration of existing employee data, we are not finding any existing systemic way to map employee Veteran status. We are surprised that the ability to indicate Veteran status does not show up within PR203000 -Tax Settings Tab. Are we missing something or do we have to create a custom field or attribute on employees to track this information?

Hi Jschindler,

There is not a delivered field for Veteran Status.  You can create an Attribute for the field.   

  • Click the Question Mark at the top right section of Acumatica.  
  •  Search on Attribute and you will find instructions on how to set one up.

I believe that the reason Veteran is not an option is because it doest have any tax implications. I would agree with Sonia and create an attribute to track that data.

Further to this, is there an inbuilt “Attributes Report” so this stored data can be viewed quickly?

Attributes can be added to any inquiry screen.

Thanks. How do I do that?
