it is simple.
1.go to the settings - custom fields,
2.click custom field in sales Order
3.click new custom field
4. name it as what you want “LPO#”
thats is you have it.

you have to try positioning the field where you may want to it display.

Hi @ismail,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have already tried it out using Custom Fields but the field positioning is the issue where it displays at the bottom.

Any idea how can i position the field as marked in the above snap shot?

Thanks.

I am sending you a direct message, i will share with you through email a template that sends custom feilds above the items table, it maybe of help to you.

Study it and use the knowledge

Search the forum as solutions have been provided before and read the Guides.

Hi Abeiku

Could you also email me that template that places the custom fields at the top, i’d be most grateful.

11

I can, inbox me your email. Warning, it doesn’t put it at the top among the serial number, date etc, it put it above the items table like in the picture below

I copied it from someone who shared it here and modified it for a client.

As you can see, the custom field is not appearing below the items table which many users wish for

12

I am sure if you really know HTML you may be able to put fields just by the Reference number, date etc.

I got the template from here

You may contact the guy who provided the original template, maybe he can help.

@Abeiku

Create a custom field with label “LPO” (set it to show on printed documents) and then place the following code just above </td> of “field in fields”.

{% if title == 'Sales Order' %}
{% for field in custom_fields %}
{% if field.label == "LPO" %}
<div style="font-weight: bold">{{ field.label }}</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">{{ field.text }}</div>
{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% endif %}

Then scroll down to find and just after {% for field in custom_fields %} insert the following code.

{% if title == 'Sales Order' %}
{% if (field.label == "LPO") %}{% continue %}{% endif %}
{% endif %}

@sharp,
thanks for reply, i was off 2 days. just tried again. it works. :thumbsup:. the custom field now appears in the search area of sales order, get printed in sales order on top at desired position. But in the data entry level, the new field appears as last cloumn at bottom. Is that so by default? or can we change that position too?
