Moving an original Sage field to a different panel

SOLVED

I have created 2 new tabs within Item Maintenance and would like to move a couple of the original Sage fields to them. When I go to place the field in my new tab it says it already exists on another panel and I would have to remove it in order to place it on my new panel. When trying to remove the field from the original tab it is on I get the message "Items from the original Sage 100 ERP panel cannot be deleted.". This is an issue I have worked around before by transitioning the data we want to see to a UDF, placing that UDF on my new tab, and hiding the original Sage field. I can repeat that process if it is the only way to accomplish what I need but I was wondering if there was a better way? Thanks as always for any input.

EDIT: I am also wondering if there is a way to hide an original tab? We don't use the Cost Detail tab at all and I would love to make some more room in Item Maintenance.
