Issue with displaying Inventory ID in mobile app using a custom GI

Question

This question was asked 4 years ago. I have the same issue. However, I think the solution provided in this topic is frankly unacceptable. Unless of course, I’m missing something obvious.

Issue with displaying Inventory ID in mobile app | Community

In my GI, I am displaying the Inventory CD. Looks great when viewing on the site.

Per the link above, when the GI is displayed on the mobile app, the Description field is shown, not the inventory CD “by design”. Well, that doesn’t seem like a good design.

If I follow the old link, I have to uncheck the Expose to Mobile App and basically, rewrite the entire GI as a new mobile screen.

By exposing the GI to the mobile app, it is doing everything we want except for actually displaying an inventory id (cd).

There HAS to be some way to modify the GI results grid to show the Inventory CD in the mobile app without recreating the ENTIRE page on the web app.

Has anyone else figured a workaround for this?

EDIT: I meant to create this in the Develop Customizations forum. I can’t find a way to move this to that forum. :-(

You should just be able to put a schema field on the Inventory CD field that formats it as text instead of a selector.

​@DrewNisleyThanks for that. I still need to have the original selector in my GI so that it can be used for a select in the mobile app. If I try to add the same field in the results but set the schema for that field as desc, it only displays one field. It must see them as duplicate and only shows 1. I ended up adding InventoryItem to the GI again with an alias of InventoryItem2. I joined InventoryItem to InventoryItem2, then added the InventoryCD field from InventoryItem2 and set the schema as desc.The view on the Mobile app ain’t pretty, but it works to at least show the inventory CD value. This seems so unnecessary. I’m sure Acumatica has a good reason for it, but after all these years, you’d think it would have been addressed by now.
