Custom Fields

Record additional information in your business transaction documents using Custom Fields.

Q1. How do I create a Custom Field?

  • Go to Settings > under Configurations > click on Custom Fields.

  • Click on + New Field to add a custom field. This will bring up the New Custom Field screen.

    • Print on documents: Toggle this on/off to enable printing the custom field on relevant documents.

  • Custom Fields can be applied in the following activities:

    • Invoices and Bills

    • Contacts

    • Customer & Supplier Credits

    • Fixed Assets

    • Items

    • Payments

    • Purchase Orders

    • Sale Orders

  • After creation, you will see the newly created custom field, and the business activities that the custom field can be used in.

Q2. How do I make use of a Custom Field?

  • After creating a custom field, it will appear as an input field in the activities it applies to.

    • For Invoices, Bills, and Credit Notes, custom fields appear in the function tab on the right (or press F while in edit mode).

    • For other activities such as Contacts, they appear as a regular field.

  • Click the field to input values.

  • If the Print on document has been toggled off, the custom field will not be printed on the transaction document headers. However, you can still enter a value for the custom field.

    • For example, the Internal Sales Code custom field shown below has an eye icon with a strikethrough, indicating that this custom field will not be printed on the transaction document header.

    • However, the value SALES-001 can still be entered and saved, which can be viewed internally.

  • If Print on document has been toggled on, the custom field will also show up on the transaction document, and you can enter it directly from the document.

  • For example, the Sales in Charge custom field will be visible on the transaction document headers.

Q3. How do I edit Custom Fields?

  • Go to Settings > under Configurations > click on Custom Fields

  • Click on the menu icon (3 dots), and choose Edit Custom Field.

Q4. Will changing the Custom Field affect existing data?

  • Changing the custom fields will not affect the main transaction data. A custom field is a field you can add as additional information for a transaction.

Q5. Why is a Custom Field not appearing when creating a business transaction (invoices, bills payable, customer credit, or supplier credit)?

  • Ensure that Print On Documents has been toggled on.

Q6. How can I delete a Custom Field?

  • Go to Settings > Under Configurations > click on Custom Fields

  • Click on the menu icon (3 dots) > Delete

Q7. Will deleting a Custom Field affect existing data?

  • No, it will only affect the future transactions you create. The custom field will be selectable for future transactions.

Q8. What are the available field types in custom fields?

  • Field type determines the nature of the custom field being created.

  • Juan supports 3 field types -

    • Text: Enables the creation of a custom text field.

    • List: Allows creating a custom field with predefined options in a list.

    • Date: Provides a date picker to select a specific date.
