Customizing SO Invoice Data Entry - New Tab - Adding Fields/UDF with Drop-Down Menus etc

SUGGESTED

Hi everyone, I'm using Sage 2013

I've added a new tab to the Sales Order module in Main > Invoice Data Entry

I've added fields/UDFs (some are already ones that existed), but I'm unable to add to anything in this tab or figure out how to get some of these working as drop-down menus. 

Some of this information is being pulled from the Sales Order that was created.

I'm also hoping to be able to generate a document based on this information, which will have an option to Preview (like when you're able to preview something in other areas of Sage), before generating a PDF that will be emailed to different email-addresses, usually to my customer and maybe another address like an accountant or sales person.

Will I be able to copy a script from another part of Sage that will help with the Preview and Send functions?

Can anyone advise me a bit in getting the fields to allow data entry that will make its way onto the PDF that's generated, as well as getting the interface to show a drop-down menu in place of certain fields?

Thanks in advance

    Set up a data flow from the SO tables into the invoice tables.

    Set up UDF validation (list or UDT) for the fields you want to have a lookup list (then remove and re-add them to the panel).

    Use Paperless with a customized invoice form code to make your life easier for the printing / emailing.

    Thanks - I'm not exactly sure what's meant by setting up a data flow and the other processes referred to here. Is there anything you can refer me to, like a document or video? I'm just learning this to fix some stuff in our system.

    I'll see if I can get anywhere with Paperless, but really don't have much to go on here.

    Thank you
