Extend PO products with custom properties


You can extend any product in the purchase order form with custom properties. A custom property can be anything, such as a variant comment, size, color, brand, etc.


How to add custom properties in the PO form

  1. Open a purchase order within the app and add products.
  2. Under each product title, you’ll see a button labeled Add property

Once you’ve added your first property, you can preview it by hovering your cursor over it, as shown in the screenshot:

The app does not share custom properties between different purchase orders. This means that if you add a custom property to a product in one PO, it will not be automatically added to future POs for that product. If you’d like the app to automatically add custom properties, please refer to the guide below.


How to configure the app to automatically add custom properties in the new PO form

If you don’t want to enter custom properties every time you create a new PO, you can configure the app to automatically preload these properties.

  1. Open the supplier in the app.
  2. Link products to your supplier. You can find a detailed guide about linking products [here].
  3. Next to the supplier product, click Add property and provide as many properties as you need.

  4. Click on the Update Supplier button.
  5. Open purchase orders page and click Add purchase order
  6. First, select a supplier for which you have previously added custom properties (1), and then add products (2). The app will automatically preload all properties into the PO form (3).
