Thank you for your reply, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that "Long Text Comment Box" is not editable on the screen. It just prints on the PO document? What is the purpose of it then? Is it just a place for people to handwrite on the PO? That seems odd.

Hi KimAEInc,

I'm happy to provide more information about the Footer section of a purchase order.

Yes, you're right. The footer texts of a purchase order template are not editable on the screen. You can only do that when you edit the template. On the other hand, the purpose of that section varies per business. You can enter something about your company or any information that applies to every purchase order you make.

If you want to add a message on a particular PO, you can utilize the VENDOR MESSAGE field instead.

I can see that GlinetteC shared an article about customizing templates. You may also check more references by pressing F1 on your keyboard and searching for the topics you like. 

If you have more questions related to customizing forms, just comment again. I'll be here to help.

Thank you again for replying. I understand now. I would prefer that field to be editable on-screen so that I could add more characters. 

Appreciate your help and quick response.
