We have a custom Purchase Order report to see open POs line by line, and a very important piece of this is that we need to see the PO Line description field. Within the field selection area for a custom PO report, there is no description option under the "line items" category. Although there is a description option under the Product/Service category, however this description comes directly from the preset description added to this Product/Service and does not mirror a manually typed in description from the PO.
For example: We have a Product/Service named "Tooling", whose preset description is empty. We have thousands of different types of tooling we purchase on POs, so at the time of creating the PO, we select the Product/Service named "Tooling" then type the specific type of tooling in that line's description. However, on the custom PO report we will only ever see the description as empty, since the only option is to show the description of that Product/Service and not what the description is for the actual PO line.
Prior to this week, the PO report brought in the actual PO line description used on the PO, and now pulls it from the description stored with the Product/Service. Please fix this!
Let's see what we can do about this, Andrulis.
