Posted on by 15

Hi

Is there any way to have a free test field on customer cards that can be pulled through to picking lists and sales orders, but not show on final invoices?

For example, if a customer needs a specific packing configuration, or booking in procedure so it would show for the warehouse when picking

(please forgive the basic questions, I'm fairly new to the system - NAV2018)

many thanks

    Hi,

    For this use No. 2 field or if you length constraint, then Create New field in Item Table for achieving the requirement

    Hi, I suggest you add a new field to manage your specific needs.

    If you want to use standard fields, maybe Name 2 is a good choice, as this is not often used. But this field is not displayed directly on the page and also requires a small customization.

    You can also try other features, such as the Comment.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    You can use extended text connected to the items. In the extended text you can define what sales / purchase documents you want the extended text to be printed on. You might have to do some report customization to make it work 100% like you want to.
