Order & Order Line Item Custom Attributes are used to store additional data related to an order or order item that may not be part of the standard data model.
These attributes are configurable in the Order Management System (OMS).
Order & Order Line Item Custom Attributes can be defined at client level.
These can be created or updated by various systems such as the ERP or Marketplace.
They can be used to fulfill feature requests relating to adding some attributes in inward/outward order every now and then.

Property | Inward/ Outward Order Attributes | Inward/ Outward Order Line Item Attributes |
