Overview

eXtendMultiFulfillment uses a transaction line field to store Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) on sales order line items. By default, this value is stored in eXtend Multifulfillment UUID (custcol_extend_multifulfillment_uuid).

That default field is configured as View From Order Only. The UUID can display on the item fulfillment, but it is stored only on the sales order. It is not stored on the item fulfillment record and cannot be queried from item fulfillment saved searches.

If you need the UUID stored and searchable on item fulfillments, configure eXtendMultiFulfillment to use a different transaction line field through UUID TRANSACTION LINE FIELD ID on the eXtendMultiFulfillment Setup page.

Configuration

Create a custom UUID transaction line field

  1. Go to Customization → Lists, Records, & Fields → Transaction Line Fields → New.
  2. Create a free-form text transaction column field for your UUID values.
  3. Apply the field to Sale Item and Item Fulfillment).
  4. Save the field and note the field ID (for example, custcol_my_multifulfillment_uuid).

Note: Do not modify the bundled eXtend Multifulfillment UUID (custcol_extend_multifulfillment_uuid) field. That field is intentionally configured as View From Order Only for eXtendMultiFulfillment. Future application updates can reset its settings. Changing it can cause data loss or unexpected behavior.

Point eXtendMultiFulfillment to your custom field

  1. Go to eXtendTech → eXtendMultiFulfillment → Setup.
  2. In UUID TRANSACTION LINE FIELD ID, enter the field ID of your custom transaction line field.

  3. Save the setup page.

After this change, eXtendMultiFulfillment uses your custom field to store line-item UUIDs instead of custcol_extend_multifulfillment_uuid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why can’t I query custcol_extend_multifulfillment_uuid on item fulfillments?
A: That field is configured as View From Order Only. The value displays from the sales order but is not stored on the item fulfillment, so it is not available in item fulfillment saved searches.

Q: Can I uncheck View From Order Only on the bundled eXtend Multifulfillment UUID field?
A: No. Do not change the bundled field. Application updates can restore its default settings, which can remove stored values or break expected behavior. Use a custom field instead.

Q: Where can I learn more about UUIDs in eXtendMultiFulfillment?
A: See What are UUIDs or Unique Line Item Keys in eXtendMultiFulfillment? and Configuring eXtendMultifulfillment Setup.
