Custom & Standard Field Overview 

Custom and standard fields provide additional detail for your customers and invoices. They allow you to segment your views and make informed decisions based on the necessary information. 

Custom Field Types 

Retrieve Custom & Standard Fields: Users can pull up to 10 fields for the customer (or project) and the invoice (20 total) from NetSuite & Sage Intact.

Centime Custom Fields: Users can create and maintain custom fields in Centime. This is ideal for any process or detail not required in your Accounting System.
