These are used to build custom solutions around LedgerSMB.  They are
not intended to be accessible to the user.  You would probably want to
direct any further discussion to -devel.

However, as a brief overview:

The sql stored procedure create_custom_field() creates a custom field
which LedgerSMB can later find.

$form->run_custom_queries() can be used to load and save appropriate
fields.  See IS.pm for examples on how this is used.  Currently
invoices, orders, parts, and a few other things support custom fields
out of the box.

Once those are in place, you just need to add the UI elements to get it to work.

Chris Travers
