Business Central – Add More Columns

Different businesses and users need different information to complete business processes. Personalisation is a powerful tool that lets people tailor the information that pages contain by dragging fields or columns from a list to the page.

Based on feedback from our community, Microsoft have added more fields and columns to choose from on several pages.

Note that not all of the following will be available in the Essentials Business Central License – some will require the Premium license depending on the module related.

You can add the Name 2 field to pages for all sales, service, projects, purchase drafts, and posted and archived documents.

The Work description field is added to the Sales Quote Archive and the Sales Order Archive pages. The field displays by default.

The information in the Work Description field adheres to both the archive and restore process, and the procedure for copying documents.

You can add the Description 2 field to simulated, planned, firm planned, released, and finished production orders.

The Routing Link Code field is added and visible by default to the Routing Versions Lines, Routing Lines, and Prod. Order Component pages.

The Location Code field is visible by default on the Prod. Order Components and Planning Components pages.

You can add the Order Line No. and Cap. Unit of Measure Code fields to the Capacity Ledger Entries page.

You can add the Concurrent Capacities, Status, Efficiency, Needed Time, Needed Time (ms), Operation No., Routing No., and Work Center No. fields to the Prod. Order Capacity Need page.

You can add the Posted Output Quantity, Posted Scrap Quantity, Posted Run Time, and Posted Setup Time flowfields to the Prod. Order Routing page.

The Status, Unit of Measure Code, and Starting Date fields are added to the Prod. BOM Version List page. The fields display by default.

The Status and Starting Date fields are added to the Routing Version List page. The fields display by default.

The Item Reference No. is added to the Service Quote Lines page. The field displays if at least one item reference exists.
