Alternatively, if you’re in the **Items** module, you can directly go to Item Preferences by clicking **Preferences** under _More_ in the top-right corner.

### Set a Decimal Value for Item Quantity

The decimal rate for item quantity comes into play when you are creating transactions (like invoices). By default, this rate is two. You can select any decimal rate of your choice.

### Allow Duplicate Item Names

Enable this option if you want to create multiple items with the same name in Zoho Invoice. To enable this option, the SKU [custom field](/ke/invoice/help/items/items-preferences.html#custom-fields) should be made Active and Mandatory.

Once this option is enabled, the item’s SKU will be used to uniquely identify the item.

### Custom Fields

Custom Fields are fields that you can manually add to the item creation page to store additional information about the item.

Let’s take a look at how Custom Fields can be helpful with the help of an example.

**Scenario:** David sells beds which are of different sizes to his customers. He wants to store their specifications along with the item. So, David creates a Custom Field to enter the different sizes. The custom field is displayed in the item creation form where David enters the appropriate size and stores the relevant information.

Like David, you might want to create Custom Fields in different circumstances that are unique to your business. By default, there are a few Custom Fields available, like SKU and Item Image, which you can enable if needed.

To create a Custom Field:

*   Go to _Settings_ from the top-right corner.
*   Click **Items**.
*   Select the **Field Customization** tab.
*   Click **\+ New Custom Field** at the top-right corner.

*   Enter the _Label Name_, _Data Type_ and other necessary details.
*   Click **Save**.
