There may be times that you need to note the dimensions of the cut-out in an appliance cabinet. Or, perhaps you need to tell the manufacturer which side gets the extended stile.  Maybe you need to note that the sink has not yet been selected, and this selection may affect the price of the countertop.  All of these things can be communicated through the use of product notes.

Whether you are using catalog items or miscellaneous items, you have the ability to add notes to the products.  To access these notes, simply click on the pencil in the “Action” column to the very right of the line item (remember, the pencil is the icon for edit) or right-click on the row of the line item and click Edit Line Item.
