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!

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

    It over-writes on the purchase order when printed.

    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.

    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.
