It's a pleasure to see you in the Community, @johnbee.
I appreciate you providing the complete details of your concern and for the screenshot. I can share some information about adding a custom field to Build Assembly transaction/form in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise.
Yes, there is a way! All you need to do is to edit the assembly item and use the define fields option to add a custom field. Let me show you how:
1. Go to the Lists menu at the top and pick Item List on the drop-down.
2. Locate the assembly item and double-click to open its information.
3. Click the Custom Fields tab, then Define Fields.
4. Enter the name in the Label column and select the Use checkbox, then hit OK.
Once done, it should show on the build assembly template. All you need to do is to put a checkmark on Print/Screen so it'll show on the transactions/forms as well. Here's how:
1. Go back to the Lists menu and pick Templates on the drop-down.
2. Locate and Build Assembly template that you're using and double-click to open.
3. Click Additional Customization on the Basic Customization window.
4. On the Header tab, check the Screen and Print box on the custom field you've added, then hit OK.
After that, you should be able to see this in your Build Assembly transaction/form. For additional information, you can also check out this article that tackles using and customizing form templates in QuickBooks.
Please let me know how it goes or if I can be of additional assistance. I'm only a few clicks away should you have any follow-up questions. Have an amazing weekend.

Thanks for chiming in, @Gailc.
Do you want to show the Manufacturer's Part Number (MPN) as a header or column on the Build Assembly page? If so, here's how to do it using the Custom field option:
To add it as a header:
1. Go to the Lists menu at the top, then pick Item List.
2. Locate the Inventory Assembly item, then right-click and Edit Item.
3. Click Custom Fields, then Define Fields.
4. Enter the name (MPN) in the Label column and select the Use checkbox, then hit OK.
To add it as a column:
1. Go back to the Item List.
2. Locate the Inventory Parts, then right-click and Edit Item.
3. Do steps 3 and 4 above to add the Custom Field.
Once done, they should show on the build assembly template. All you need to do is to put a checkmark on Print/Screen for the Header or Column so they'll display on the Build Assembly page. Here's how:
1. Go back to the Lists menu and pick Templates.
2. Double-click to open the Build Assembly template.
3. Click Additional Customization on the Basic Customization window.
4. On the Header and Column tab, check the Screen and Print box on the custom field (MPN) you've added, then hit OK.
After that, they should now show on the Build Assembly page.
