3. Open with Easy Form Editor and select and add the field. i.e.Field Name: CustomerInvoice-ReferenceBusinessTransactionDocumentID.
4. Save it and later Publish and Close.

Step 2:

1. After completing Step 1, again select the Form and Open it in LifeCycle Designer.
2. Select the field which you added in Easy Form Editor as mentioned in Step 1.
3. You can change the Name (for eg: to External Reference).
4. Once done, you need to maintain the binding with value(Binding path is) :-$.CustomerInvoice.ReferenceBusinessTransactionDocumentID.
