Comment lines on contract invoices
In a Business Central standard customer subscription contract, comment lines serve as internal notes and are not transferred to contract invoices. DYCE Feature Suite for Subscription Billing extends this behavior with the Attached to Line No. field, which allows comment lines to be linked to a specific billable contract line (of type Item or G/L Account). When an invoice is created, attached comment lines are transferred to the invoice alongside the contract line they belong to, preserving the visual context for the customer.
Attaching a comment line
The Attached to Line No. field appears as the last field on the contract lines subpage and is only editable for comment lines. For all other line types (Item, G/L Account), the field is read-only and cleared automatically.
To attach a comment line to a contract line, use the lookup on the Attached to Line No. field. A selection page opens listing all contract lines of the same contract with a type of Item or G/L Account. After selecting a line and confirming with OK, the Attached to Line No. field is set to the line number of the selected contract line.
When a new comment line is inserted directly above or below an existing Item or G/L Account line, the Attached to Line No. field is set automatically to that adjacent line. This reduces manual effort when adding context-specific comments to billing lines.
Invoice transfer
When a contract invoice is created, comment lines with a value in Attached to Line No. are included in the invoice and positioned relative to their parent contract line.
Comment lines without an attached billing line (i.e., Attached to Line No. is empty) are not transferred to invoices.
