preventing vendor number from overwriting item number

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

Hello, I'm brand new here...

I have a series of items, many have vendor part numbers, but most do not. 

When creating a purchase order, I need those orders to show our item numbers, and I added a field to the purchase order report to show the vendor number also (I need both to appear). But, I then realized that any time I have a vendor number it automatically over-writes the item number. I don't have any cross-references set up, so why is this happening, how can I stop it? Thanks!

    Any recommendations on how best to do that? It doesn't appear that it can be changed through standard layout/field changes (tried that), so its deeper than that.

    Yes, the standard report prints vendor item no. if the vendor item no. has a value on the item card, you need to customize the report to remove that condition.

    It over-writes on the purchase order when printed.

    Can you please provide more information, where it over-writes? on the report or on purchase order
