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.
From April 2025, users will be able to use the following additional columns.
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.
Ship-to Name 2 field
You can add the Name 2 field to pages for all sales, service, projects, purchase drafts, and posted and archived documents.
Work Description field
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.
Description 2 field
You can add the Description 2 field to simulated, planned, firm planned, released, and finished production orders.
Routing Link Code field
The Routing Link Code field is added and visible by default to the Routing Versions Lines, Routing Lines, and Prod. Order Component pages.
Location Code field
The Location Code field is visible by default on the Prod. Order Components and Planning Components pages.
