Line Type "Description" not available in the sales order lines


Good morning, Acumatica community:

When creating a sales order, we need to be able to add descriptions, just like we do in the Purchase Order lines.

As of now, we have created a customization to have non-stock items marked as “comments”, however, this also create other issues, as having to modify the reports so that comments do not show quantities, etc.

Is there a way to add the “Line Type” description in the sales order lines? 

Thank you,

Hi @ElizabethPleitez,

Yes, this is possible by doing customization. I have checked on test tenant and it is working.

Editable Line type Field
  1. Select Screen in customization editor and go to Line Type field and in Attributes section, Click on Customize Attributes. (You need to change field length from DAC level as well as in Database Script as you need to use this field as description or Notes. Currently it is accepting 2 fixed length values.)
DAC level changes

 

  1. Make sure to change Enabled = true as per Screenshot.

My suggestion is you can create new Custom user field same as Line Type and use it as per your requirement as existing field contains some logic behind this by Acumatica core.

Hi @ElizabethPleitez ,

Have you checked the Column Configuration of SOLine Grid for LineType field?

Add LineType to SO

You can add Line Type field from Column configuration. Add this field from Available Columns to Selected Columns and can arrange it by using up-down arrows to display it.


Hi @Dipak Nilkanth, we have the Line Type field already exposed in the sales order. However, it does not have a drop-down option, but rather this field populates only when stock items, non-stock items, or miscellaneous items are selected in the inventory ID column. 

In the purchase order, we have a drop-down menu with several options including the “Description” field. 

 

Therefore, we would like to have this description field available in the sales order so that we can add descriptions or notes, or comments, rather than using a “non-stock item” as comments.

Hope this clarifies our request.

Thank you.
