Adding fields

[SkipDever]

I have the need to add a field to the Invoice entity.

I would like to do it externally to the entitymodel.xml in Accounting, i.e.
an entitymodel.xml in the hot-deploy folder that would be additive?

Is there a way to do this?

Yes, you can. Use <extend-entity>. You're going down the right path, to try your best to build on
top of OFBiz, rather than change its core. OFBiz has many tools for doing just that, for
customization work.
