A reference is used to indicate that another instance of the field or group format exists in the data. Reference fields or groups have the same format as the original field or group, but you can change the optional setting and the occurrence setting for the reference field or group. For example, if you have a "bill to" address and a "ship to" address in your data, you only need to define the address format once. You can create the "bill to" address definition and create a reference for the "ship to" address.
Note:
References are given the same name as the original item. For example, the "bill to" address definition and the "ship to" address definition would be named the same.Table 14-1 Reference Detail Window – Reference Description
