Sales Item Description Limit in Invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by wytechnology 95

So, I have verified that in the sales order invoice for GP 10, there is a 100 character limit in the item description. However, when printing out the invoice to send to the customer, it cuts off the description after 40 characters. This is obviously causing some big time issues, when not able to have any acceptable length of item description. We would like to be able to at least get the invoice to print the 100 character limit, instead of cutting off at 40. What would be better is to find out how to lengthen the item description limit in sales order invoices, so we can be more descriptive, and also to get user defined fields that we have customized to be able to show up in an invoice as well.

    Can you provide me with a link to step by step documentation for this? This is not a road I have been down before. Thank you..

    I think you're using ver10, I have 9 but should be the same.

    Are you sure you made the changes to the SOP Blank History Invoice Form or SOP Blank Invoice Form?

    Also make sure that the user is pointing to the right report dictionary(Reports.dic). This is saved in Dynamics.set.

    Thanks, I have actually done that and it is not publishing. I saw your other post about where to go to make sure that the modified one is published or to make sure that the users can access. When you go to setup, security...there are three options...Security Tasks, Security Roles, and Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports. I went to the modified forms and reports. Under the default user ID, chose Dynamics GP for the product and Reports for the type. The SOP BLANK HISTORY INVOICE FORM did show up, and I changed from Dynamics GP to the Dynamics GP Modified report. Went to go print a new invoice after closing out of the program, and description still was the same size. Some of the options we had were different that what you mentioned ( we are on V 10.0). Are we missing something?

    You can definitely extend the field to the maximum chars in your invoice by just going to Report Writer then extending the field but you also need to adjust the other fields around it to fit the line.
