Custom Fields
Starting from the Professional edition of MRPeasy, the Settings -> System settings -> Custom fields page allows you to configure additional database fields in your MRPeasy database.
Demo video: "Custom fields" functionality.
- Max. 15 custom fields can be added.
- Custom fields provide additional opportunities for searching and sorting but not for calculations.
- Custom fields are hidden by default in the tables; click Choose columns to make them visible.
- The custom field can be a free text, number, date, or a drop-down with pre-defined options.
- A custom field can be marked "Required," so the user must fill the field.
- For drop-down type custom fields, it is possible to add multi-line text for PDFs as one choice by using "\n" as the line-break character (e.g., "Line1\nLine2\nLine 3" for three separate lines within one option).
- In the MRPeasy user interface, you will still see the text as a single line with line-break characters ("Line1\nLine2\nLine 3"); the text will only be on separate lines on generated PDFs.
Custom fields can be added to the following objects:
| Object | Comments |
| Customer orders | |
| Customer returns (RMAs) | |
| Customers | |
| Invoice | |
| Manufacturing orders | Custom fields for MOs can be shown in My Production Plan. |
| Procurement invoices | |
| Purchase orders | |
| Purchase terms | |
| Shipments | |
| Stock items | Custom fields for Stock Items can be added to several PDFs. By editing the layouts with the PDF editor, these fields can be included in other documents besides invoices and POs. |
| Stock lots | Custom fields for Stock Lots can be "Persistent." This means that custom field values will be transferred to a new stock lot, created automatically due to a transfer order or rejection during an inspection. |
