 Custom stock fields are a useful way of tracking your stock. You can think of them as providing stock tags or categories which can be seen wherever stock is viewed throughout the system and can be used for filtering reports.
 There are 8 custom stock fields available. The first 4 are free text (the user can enter any text they like) and the final 4 allow the user to select values from preset lists defined by you.
+===== Setting them up =====
 You turn them on in the stock tab of File > Preferences. See [[preferences:general#stock|here]] for details.

+===== Using them =====
+Now that they have been set up, when you receive goods in on a supplier invoice the enabled custom fields will appear on the supplier invoice line detail window. Enter the values in there as you receive stock into mSupply. The values will then appear wherever you see stock in the system e.g. on the stock tab of an item's details window.
+The fields will also be available for filtering on when you are running any of the stock based reports.
