Specification on Pages

Purpose:

The Specification on Pages feature allows users to extend core Business Central tables (such as Item, Vendor, Customer, and various Document tables) with up to 24 custom fields. These fields are dynamically linked to the Information Entry table and are displayed directly on the related pages (e.g., Item Card, Vendor List, Sales Order).

When you add a field to a table using the Specification on Pages feature, that field will automatically appear on all the related pages for that table. This means you can view and edit your custom fields directly where you work with your data—such as on the Item Card, Customer List, Sales Order, and many more.

You can see the full list of related pages here

Key Features:

Dynamic Field Extension:
Users can add up to 24 fields to selected tables and pages. These fields are based on Information Codes and reflect underlying Specifications tied to master or document data.
Real-Time Synchronization:
Any changes made to these fields on the page are automatically synchronized with the Information Entry table, ensuring data consistency.
Editable Fields:
Users can directly edit or add values in the Specification fields on the page, and the changes will update the corresponding Information Entry record.

Field Types Available:

You can add up to 24 fields in total, and they come in different types depending on what kind of information you want to show:

Field Type	How many?	Used for
Text250	10 fields	Free text like notes, names, or descriptions
Date	3 fields	Specific dates like delivery or expiry dates
Decimal	3 fields	Numbers with decimals, e.g. weight, price, percentage
Integer	1 field	Whole numbers like quantity or ranking
DateFormula	1 field	Calculated dates like “+3W” for 3 weeks ahead
DateTime	1 field	Exact date and time, e.g. timestamp of an event
Boolean	5 fields	Yes/No or True/False values like “Is Active” or “Requires Approval”

⚠️ To use a non-Text250 field, the Information Code must have a matching Data Validation Type.

Usage Scenarios:

Display custom specifications like Material Type, Delivery Date, Warranty Period, or Is Certified directly on the Item Card, Vendor List, or Sales Order.
Enable users to view and update these specifications without navigating away from the main page.

Handling Multiple Values:

If an Information Code allows multiple values, and you want to display it multiple times on a page:
- You must add multiple lines for the same table in the Specification setup.
- If displaying the Value or Description, the Information Value must be specified for each line, as it forms part of the primary key in the Information Entry table.

Technical Summary:

The feature acts as a bridge between the main table (e.g., Item, Vendor) and the Information Entry table.
It enables custom field injection with full read/write capabilities.
Ensures data integrity through validation and synchronization mechanisms.

How it works

With the Specification on Pages feature, it’s possible to add up to 24 new fields to a range of tables and the related pages. The fields that can be added are new

When deleting an Information Code the following happens:

Deletion in tables

Related Information Values (SCB Information Value (6082570))
Information Entry (SCB Information Entry (6083266))
Specification on Pages (SCB Replicate MDI on Page (6083427))

Remains in tables

Master Data on Document (SCB MDI On Documents (6223230))
Master Data Archive Entries (SCB New Master Data Arc Entry (6083299))

Information Setup and Master Data on Documents are similar functionality. Both are the possibility to enhance data with extra information, but the primary difference between the two, are where the data is setup.

Information Setup Is specifications added to master data, such as Items, Customers, Vendors, where as Master Data on Documents are specifications transferred from the master data to a document or specifications added to the document manually.

The Specification on Pages functionality makes it possible to show these specification directly on the page for easy access.
It's possible to add up to 24 new fields on each table. The possible field types are:

10 x Text250
3 x Date
3 x Decimal
1 x Interger
1 x DateFormula
1 x DateTime
5 X Boolean

For more information about how to setup and use this, please see more here
Specifications, Texts or Files are added to specific Master Data Records - Dynamics 365 Business Central

For more information about field types, see the release notes from BC25.4

The purpose of this article, is to give an overview of where Information Setup, Master Data on Documents and Specification os Pages is applicable in the system
