Dev - How do I extend OrderHeader entity?

[Lei Gao-2]

Hello there,

Is there a good way for me to store customer specific data, which will be associated with an OrderHeader entity? They are one to one relationship, and I want to try to modify the code as less as I could(Surely the GUI need to be changed).

Thanks in advance.
Lei

The comments fields already has been used. There are three more fields I need to allow the customer viewing and editing them before the order is completed. One billing term field, one agent id(company party), another one is for sales person id(sales person party). I saw there is an OrderAttribute entity, can I use that?

in webtools
Entity Reference & Editing Tools [Static Version]
you will see the relationships for order header.
see if those might satisfy your requirements.

Lei,

Yes, it is always good to be specific. Without details an answer is often impossible or at best of little value.

Parties associated with the order should be associated with it in the OrderRole entity. You should look in general at the Party and Role (and the RoleType with its seed data) to understand how these are used and what they mean.

Billing terms are usually associated with a BillingAccount which is an alternative to an actual PaymentMethod in the checkout process denoting that an invoice will be sent when ready.
