What we have learnt so far about Versions

q VERSIONS are primarily used to customise the way the T24

applications look when used online

q VERSIONS allow us to manipulate the way some fields in the

application work (No Input, No Change etc)

q Routines that are required to be executed at various stages

can be attached to VERSIONS

q All T24 core mandatory fields must be present in the version

q Number of authorisers can be set, if version is for authorising,

OVERRIDE field must be present
