A few members have contacted me and I agree that a seperate field for customs
forms numbers should be included on invoices. Thanks Darren

Agree - there should be a space on the "My notes on order" page for customs numbers.
(Not on the invoice, since invoice is sent before postage is purchased) But
yes, an extra field would be good to have to keep our records electronically
(as I stated in my previous post).

I'd vote "yes".

You could always use the tracking number field as it's a free text field. you
can add that to your orders received page http://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=r&viewFrom=O
and I believe it shows up on the order itself when the buyer/seller pulls it
up.

Hope this helps.

True! I have the field show up on my drive thru / thank you. I wish there were
other fields that had variables too ... I use the "my notes on order" field to
put in the package size / information ...

2 oz. 6" x 9" yellow envelope with bagged and bubble wrapped parts

... Unfortunately, there is no variable (macro tag) to have that automatically
placed on the drive thru / thank you form. I just copy / paste it manually.

I do that with the package description as well. One, it helps keep track of shipping
supplies, two, if you have to talk to a customer or USPS about a package, you
can give them even more info about it. One thing to say your package is lost,
another to say your 6x6x6 box, mailed out to Bob Smith on 3/3/2013 is lost.

Since the Customs Number can also be the Tracking Number in some cases, it would
be easier to choose the name of that line to be either "Customs" or "Tracking"
Number by a radio Button perhaps. In most cases, it will be the Tracking Number
by default.
