# How do I provide additional information about my item and display them on my invoices?

The default input fields you come across while creating an item such as the item name and price are designed to capture information that is common to all businesses. But, apart from the available fields, you would want to store additional information that is unique to your business. Custom fields for items will allow you to do that.

To create a custom field for items:

*   Go to _Settings_ from the top-right corner.
*   Select **Items**.
*   Select the **Field Customization** tab.
*   Click **\+ New Custom Field** at the top-right corner.
*   Enter the **Label Name** for your custom field. This will be displayed when entering data in the Items module.
*   Select the appropriate **Data Type**.
*   Enter a **Help Text** to describe the purpose of the custom field (optional).
*   Mark _Is Mandatory_ as **Yes** if this field should not be left blank.
*   Mark _Show when creating transactions_ as **Yes** if you want this field to appear while creating transactions.
*   Mark _Show in all PDF_ as **Yes** if you want the custom field to be displayed on the transaction’s PDF.
*   Click **Save**.

**Note:** Currently, only the **Text Box (Single Line)** data type is supported in Zoho Invoice, and you can create up to three custom fields of this type in each module.

Once this is done, you can add information to the custom field by editing the item from the **Items** module, or while creating an invoice.

To add information to items while creating an invoice:

*   Go to **Invoices** from the left sidebar.
*   Click **\+ New** and enter the customer name and add items which you wish to invoice.
*   To change the custom field data, click the **More** icon on the right of the item you wish to edit.
*   Click **Edit Item**. The edit item pop-up window will be displayed.
*   Enter or edit the custom field value and click **Save**.

The additional information that was added to the custom fields will be displayed as columns in the invoice PDF.
