Custom Fields Are Now Available for Purchases & Sales
We’ve just added a brand-new Custom Fields feature to Purchases & Sales!
Until now, you could only use predefined fields when creating an order. With this update, you can add your own fields—such as a contact person, their email address, account details, and more.
We’ve also improved the mobile experience by adding email and PDF export options for Purchase Orders (POs) and Sales Orders (SOs), making it easier to share order documents on the go.

Updates at a Glance
1. Add Custom Fields to Your Orders
If you often repeat the same notes when creating orders, simply add them as custom fields! This can include payment terms, tax ID, or customer account numbers.
You’ll see a new Custom Fields section at the bottom of the screen when creating a new purchase or sales order.

Once added, the fields will appear directly on the order.

When you email or print an order, your Custom Fields will appear directly below the order number and order date.

2. Save Custom Fields as Templates
You can save frequently used fields (like contact information) as templates.
Go to Settings > Orders > Custom Fields to create them. Once saved, the template will be automatically applied when you create a new order.

3. Add Contact Details Directly to the Order
Before, you entered the contact name, phone number/email, and notes in a separate pop-up.
Now, you can just add this information as Custom Fields when creating the order. If you're printing multiple copies of the same order, your saved contact details will already included.

4. Updated Purchase & Sales Order Layouts
To go along with the new Custom Fields feature, we’ve refreshed the layouts for Purchase Orders and Invoices. Both documents now share a cleaner, unified design for a more professional look.
