Item description changes do not change item code

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Good day

We have a busy trade counter with users adding lines to quotes and orders.Users tend to search from the item description field in document lines.

If you choose an item and then go back and change the item by clicking the item description drop down, only the item description changes.

The original item code and price remains the same.

This is a huge issue for us and we run the risk of selling products incorrectly priced.

Ideally the item code should change if you change the item description from the drop down list.

OR the item description should be fixed.

How can I overcome this issue ?

Thank you.

    which version of BC are you working?

    I am able to see it working in BC 14 but not in BC 16.

    they have added a new check in BC16 because of that it is not working.

    May be you can customize using the publisher available in BC16.

    BC 14 Code
