Each business is unique, and keeps track of slightly different data. To allow for this, inFlow Inventory allows you to define your own custom fields in your Products, Sales Orders, Customers, Purchase Orders, and Vendors.

Some examples:

• A clothing manufacturer might want to keep track of the type of material for their products.
• You may want to keep track of the country of origin for your products.
• You may want to keep track of some extra information for your customers, like a credit check status, whether they should receive your newsletters, etc.

The custom fields that have been set up will then be visible in the main screen for the entity.

You can set up to 3 custom fields for Sales Orders and Purchase Orders, and up to 10 for Products, Customers, and Vendors.

Setting Up Custom Fields

 
To set up Custom Fields:

1. From the Settings menu, select Company Settings.
2. From the Company Settings dialog that will pop up, click the Customization button.
3. Select the tab of the entity you wish to create custom fields for.
4. Enter the custom field name to be displayed, and click the Show button next to it.

Your custom fields will then be visible to all users of inFlow in your company when they view the corresponding entity.
