Invoice Description issue.

Hi Team,

I have to put a table, something similar to below, in Description while invoicing.

Whenever I copy paste system creates multiple billing line. I don't want that, I want to have it in single billing line.

Is there an easy way to do it., One or two line is manageable manually but, if there are multiple entries in table then not practical.

Code Project Amount
437-P30123 Project Phoenix - Market Analysis 5890
437-P31234 Ad-hoc: Leadership Workshop 3120

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Nauman.

Hi Nauman,

Have you tried to use delimiter (like ; ) to avoid creating several lines on billing type. You need to remove shift line to avoid creating several lines.

Example:

437-P30123;Project Phoenix - Market Analysis;5890;437-P31234;Ad-hoc: Leadership Workshop;3120

Invoice Description issue.

Hi,

To address the issue, you may want to consider the following steps:

Use a Single Line Description:

Ensure that the Description field is set up to accommodate a multiline entry. If the system is creating a new line for each line break, try entering the entire table in a single line.

Delimiter Usage:

Consider using a specific delimiter (e.g., a comma or semicolon) between the entries in the table. After pasting, you can then manually split the information into separate fields using the delimiter.

Custom Development:

If the standard functionality doesn't meet your needs, you might need a more customized solution. This could involve development work to parse the pasted content and organize it into a single billing line.

Best regards,

Kevin
