How can i add a formula field into a Opportunity Product Multi-Line Layout

I have a formula field on Opportunity Product which i need to show on the Opportunity product Mulitline Edit page. I cant seem to get the formulafield on the available Fields List.

I understand that we cant see a formula field on edit or new records and hence maybe these fields are not visible. Am i correct ?

Is there any other way we could get it displayed?

 

I would think VF page is the only option and override the standard page.

If this is the only way then i want to understand how do we capture the selected products from previous seach product screen.?

 

Any pointers would be of great help

 

Thanks

That's correct - you can't see formula fields when editing as they aren't available for edit, rather they are calculated by the platform when a record is retrieved from the database.

 

Unfortunately I don't think you can override just this aspect with visualforce - you'd need to override the product selection too.

Hi

   You are correct, Formula fields are like virtual fields derived during the run time so u may not be able to add these in standard edit layout or new layout. As you said VF page is an option....
