Add a new field to store value

[tijojoel]

Hi,

I want to add a new field to store value that will be common to all products. For example I need to increment all product quantity with some value that I configured in the admin end. Can anyone give a solution where, how to add this new field so that admin can configure  this value and all products will get affected.

It really depends on what needs to be done, each function needs something specific. For the example you mentioned, you would need to get a list of products and run the stock manager, but other things will need different snippets.
For the value, I would say try with a basic module that saves a config entry in the database. What's your ps version?

prestahop 1.6.12 is the version. I am creating a module for this but can you tell me where I can add the field ?

You can use the module's config page actually, the getContent method will be fine (or displayForm)
Then use the module's postProcess to run the script that updates quantities, based on that field
