Item variant description - ignoring it for sales/purchase documents

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

Is there a setting somewhere where I can make it so that a sales line/purchase line shows the item card's description and not the variant description? I don't see any toggles on the sales and recievables setup/purchases & payables setup so I am going to guess no?

    Hi, I tried to debug the issue. The current processing of the standard is that if the Item Reference exists, it is updated to the information of the Item Reference. If the Item Reference does not exist and the Variants exists, it is updated to the information of the Variants.
    This has no control setup, and can be customized if needed. (Using event OnBeforeEnterSalesItemReference(SalesLine2, ItemReference, Found, IsHandled);)
