How do I transfer a custom field from a sales order to an invoice?

You cannot transfer a custom field from a sales order to an invoice. However, by creating the custom field in both the Sales Orders and Invoices modules, the data in the sales order will be auto-populated in the invoice when you convert the sales order to an invoice. Ensure that the Label Name and Data Type are same in both modules.

To create a custom field:

  • Go to Settings on the top right corner of the page.
  • Select Sales Orders or Invoices under Sales.
  • Click the Field Customization tab.
  • Click + New Custom Field on the top right corner of the page.
  • Enter the required details.
  • Click Save.
