Validate Item in Sales Line, using Description field

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22
When you try to validate Item No, using the description field in sales line the total amount fields remain with a value of 0.
This happens when you try it on the new 27.1 version. On earlier version like 26.5 it works fine. 
When checking the validate code of field Description, on current version the xRec value is the same as Rec so it exits, while on the previous version xRec is empty and only Rec has value as it is inserting a Rec for the first time, so the code continues and the UpdateTotals is called.
I think is a bug
Has anyone else encountered it?

    I tested this in 27.1 in a clean sandbox. When I select the Description on the Sales Line, Business Central automatically fills the Item No., Quantity, Unit Price, Line Amount, and the totals at the bottom. Because of that, the behavior you are seeing (totals staying at 0) is not standard for 27.1. It is most likely caused by a customization/extension in your environment. Also, please double-check that a Unit Price is defined on the Item card. If the Unit Price is blank on the Item, the line amount and totals will remain 0 even though the item is validated correctly.

    If you can reproduce the issue in a clean CRONUS sandbox without any extensions and with a Unit Price set on the Item.

    @Khushbu Rajvi. Thank you for your response.
    I did try it on a clean environment. I even created a new Item myself and added the unit price, but still the same when try to validate Item Line from description. You need to select a new line or even add a new item in order for the total amount to get updated.
