Track additional information for Purchase Orders by creating Purchase Order Fields. For example, some fabricators create PO Fields for "PO Contact" or "Cancel/Return." The Field is located in the Purchase Order Info section and can be shown on your printed Purchase Orders.  You can also add the new Filed to the Purchasing Page and a PO printable Form.

Warning: Deleting a custom field is permanent and any information entered in that field will also be permanently deleted. If the Field is no longer needed we strongly recommend making the Field Inactive. Historical data is maintained but the field will not be available going forward. See Related Articles below.


  1. Go to Settings > Inventory > Purchase Order Fields.
