How to add custom fields while bulk uploading accounting documents?

Every business has a unique way of invoicing. This means that while Refrens offers a variety of fields as default options for your accounting documents, you may still want to add more fields.

The good part? you can do this by adding custom fields to your document headers, footers, and additional charges area.



Let's see how you add this while doing bulk upload.

1. Adding Custom Fields to the Invoice Header



Custom fields in the header section can provide additional, specific details about your invoice. For Example, let's say you want to show a field called _Company ID_ in the invoice:



Here's how to add it:

Column Format
To include a custom field in the header, you need to add a column in your CSV file in this format:

Column Format
Use the format: footers.FieldName
Example

footers.Membership Status:



3. Adding Custom Fields to Show Additional Charges and Discounts





To specify additional charges or discounts  (as highlighted above), you can add custom fields under the Additional Charges section.

Here's how to add them:

Column Format
Add a column in your CSV file in this format: additionalCharges.FieldName
Example:
For fields like "Shipping Charges" or "Packaging Charges," add corresponding column names such as:
additionalCharges.Shipping Charges, additionalCharges.Packaging Charges.



Important Note: Enter these charges in absolute values only (e.g., 500), as percentages are not supported.

That’s it! adding custom fields while bulk uploading accounting documents is that simple.
