Hi
Our cross-reference descriptions are pulling onto our documents (sales + purchase). I understand that this is default Nav functionality as highlighted in the below text that was pulled from Business Central documentation.
If you set up a cross reference between the item description that you use for an item and the description that the vendor of that item uses, then the vendor's item description is automatically inserted on purchase documents for the vendor when you fill in the Cross-Reference No. field. The same functionality applies for customer item numbers on sales documents.
I'm looking for a way to change it so that the description will always pull from the item description and not the item cross-reference description.
If we add products using the Vendor Item Catalog table then the vendor item cross-reference description gets automatically populated with the current item description
We always want to leave our item cross-reference descriptions null. I've been clearing the item cross-reference descriptions using config. packages but I am looking for a more permanent solution.
Currently, users are adding items using the Vendor Item Catalog table. The problem is that we often update our item descriptions but not our item cross-reference descriptions.
When we update our item descriptions the new data is not reflected on sales + purchase documents if the item cross-reference descriptions are populated.
So I'm looking to
1) Have the item description instead of the item cross-reference description pull onto sales + purchase documents
2) Prevent the cross-reference description from auto-populating when adding products using the Vendor Item Catalog table
RTC screenshots to illustrate
J-1111 test product. Description = "Test"
J-1111 Item Cross Reference Entries.
Purchase order lines. Description auto-populates when I enter in J-1111
