EQLink: Extra Data Fields

Extra Data Fields are set up only in EQ Link and are used to gather additional information from an on-line order either at the item or order level. These fields are downloaded into the DB/d Sales Order as message lines.

Per Order Extra Data fields generate as the first line(message) in the Sales Order. This message line is defaulted to NOT print on the Packing List. Override available.
Per Item Extra Data fields generate after the associated Item. This message line will always print on the Packing List.

Critical Note: EQ/l allows for 50-characters, DB/d allows for 40. Follow DB/d rules to ensure correct printing of data.
