Custom Fields on Additional Customization

Hello, 

 

I have several company files, and I want to have the same options in the invoice module for all.

 

On my main company I have many more fields, with the only one that matters: Industry

Custom Fields on Additional Customization

I too used the customer additional information for my customers in desktop.  My issue is that I switched to the online version and none of the custom fields for my customers transferred over to the online version.  I own a mechanic shop and all our invoices, estimates & sales receipts need to have this information printed.   I have been trying to figure out where I can add additional custom fields in the QBO version.  I was able to add the fields to my templates (estimates, invoices & sales receipts), but that information is not retained in the customer record that I can see.  Plus, I do not see the new fields in the customer details to add the VIN:, PLATE:, & LITERS: of each vehicle.  I hope you understand what I am saying.  Thank you for your help in advance.
