Custom Product Fields ( or 'User Defined Fields') are 10 flexible fields (UDF1–UDF10) that lets you store additional information for products in Mintsoft.
These fields are fully configurable, so you can use them to capture any extra details your business needs that aren’t included in the standard product fields.
