In this blog, we are going to discuss custom fields data flow from one transaction to another in Sage Intacct. Sage Intacct provides the feature for Adding Custom field to standard objects as per our requirements.
In our previous blog, we have already demonstrated the steps to add the custom field on any Screens of Sage Intacct.
So considering a scenario we have created a custom field ‘FOB point’ on Sales Order (order entry transaction type) and need the same value to be pass on to Sales Invoice document (order entry transaction type). Here we will need to setup the same custom field on both objects i.e. Sales order and Sales Invoice. Note; keep the field id and data type same.
Follow the below steps to setup the custom field for both objects:-
