Hello, i have a generell issue. We place a Purchase Order to our supplier. Then the next step is also to make a Sales Order to our client. So normaly each Purchaser Order is also linked to the Sales Order. So how or what i can do to see or get the info, which Purchase Order is linked or related to the Sales order. f.e. I place a PO to supplier - #PO15123 - then I place a Sales Order to client #SO15321 - so now i want to see on the Sales Order that the related Purchase order is #PO123. ---

It’s not possible to link these documents. I do want to make it possible though. I have several ideas how to approach this but it’s not something I’m going to add in upcoming weeks. Possibly in a few months since there are many related feature requests (e.g. job costing) and this will be part of the larger feature rather than quick fix. ---

Ok understand. But would be in then meantime a possibility to add a field which can be use to put “manual” the information inside? This would be already helpful at this time. ---

You can create custom field under `Settings` tab → `Custom fields` to capture this information. ---

What column? Also this is a thread that is over 5 years old so not particularly helpful as it may not reflect the current software. Please read the guides on using custom fields ---

Hi, Im using Manager for two different business and in the Purchase orders, one has ‘unit’ column and the other doesn’t. Can you help with this to have it in the other too? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/7/d/7dbf833c9744dc3a7a410e6a402fc0bce5730684.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/c/1/c112b2e1f6be468de97523488460a1f6154b1edc.png) ---

You compare screenshots of edit screens of 2 different businesses and their Purchase Orders. Check the custom fields settings for Purchase Order for each Business. I bet you that you have created a custom field called “Unit” for the business that shows that column. ---
