Custom Fields in the Code for Orders, Autoships, and Inventory Tables

As part of our never-ending effort to be fully extensible, we have added developer level support to extend the Order, Autoship, and Inventory tables.

From our Developers:

You can now attach custom fields to the code for orders, AutoShips, and inventory. This is a feature for service providers and developers.

There is now a way to track/store customer information on orders, AutoShips, and inventory. For example, when you make an order, if there’s an assessment ID that went along with that order, you can keep that assessment ID associated with the order. In the past, there was nowhere to store that. Now Submit Order has five blank custom fields that get written to tables in the database. For example, when you call GetOrder, it will return those custom fields. For orders during enrollment, if a client wants to ask a specific question (assessments, size, gender, etc.) when someone enrolls, the answer is stored. Then, in Reports and SQL queries, you call all Autoships or Orders, etc., and see values for the fields and export the report.
