In invoices and smart processes, there are custom fields that work the same way as in other CRM entities. You can store information for which there are no system fields.
Create custom fields
You can create new fields in two ways: in the entity form and in the smart process menu.
The first way is no different from the process of creating fields in deals and contacts.
The second method can only be used in invoices and smart processes. Click the gear icon and select Field Settings.
In the slider, click the Create button.
Select the data type you want to write to the field.
