Hi All,
Apologize in advance if this isn't the correct forum for this topic.
Like many have already uncovered, it's not possible to customize the price list item views. And, like many, this causes issues for us.
The main issues that I have with the price list item views are the absence of the following:
1) Product Descriptions
2) The inability to see a legacy part number (a field that exists on my product entity).
I'm curious as to what others are doing to combat the need for customized views with price list items?
One idea I've been contemplating is to create an additional lookup on my quote product/order product forms that looks up Products directly. Here I can obviously customize the view so that will/should eliminate both 1 and 2 above. On select, I can then ensure that product exists on the price list that was selected on the parent (quote/order) entity and if it is, set the lookup on the current "Existing Product" lookup. In theory I think it works, but involves quite a bit of work to ensure that the solution is 'tight' and doesn't leave a situation where "Existing Product" isn't set, etc.
In any case - I can't imagine that I'm the only one that's had to overcome the inability to customize the "Price List Product" entity so figured I'd see what other people are doing to make their lives easier.
P.S. I did up vote the current issue logged in Microsoft Connect for this problem.
Cheers,
Sean.
