Custom Fields

Functionality Description

The Custom Fields functionality enables adding additional fields to standard cards in Business Central for the following areas:

• Customer
• Vendor
• Item
• Fixed Asset
• G/L Account
• Sales Documents (Archive, Quote, Order, Invoice)
• Purchase documents (Archive, Order, Invoice)

For each area, 15 fields with different data types are available:

• 5 text fields (Text[100])
• 2 boolean fields (Boolean)
• 2 date fields (Date)
• 2 decimal fields (Decimal)
• 2 code fields (Code[20])
• 2 code fields with dictionary (Code[20])
• 2 long text fields (BLOB) - for storing long texts without character limits

Custom fields are automatically added to cards and lists in a dedicated "N24C Custom Fields" group and are visible only when enabled in the configuration.

Configuration

Enable the Functionality

Enable the functionality in CORE Extension Setup by checking "Custom Fields Enabled".

Field Configuration

Configure fields in N24C | Custom Field Setup page:

• Enabled - whether the field should be visible and active
• Caption - field label displayed to the user

Data Transfer (Sales Documents)

For sales documents, you can configure automatic data transfer from Item fields:

• Transfer From Area - source area (currently only Item supported)
• Source Field Name - click to select source field from Item table
• Transfer Data - enable/disable automatic transfer

The Source Field Name lookup automatically filters fields by data type, showing only compatible fields (Text→Text, Boolean→Boolean, etc.).

Note: When Transfer Data is enabled, both Transfer From Area and Source Field Name must be specified.

The Dictionary Count field shows the number of elements available for selection from the drop-down list (if the field is enabled). When clicking the field, a new page opens where the dictionary elements can be edited.
