Posted on by Johnson_Patrick 102

Hi,

Fellow NAV/BC Developers, I hope your all doing good. 

I have a requirement were I want to sort and display the dropdown for the Item Number on the Sales Line based on the Description from A-Z.  

Right now, it gets sorted and shown on the dropdown by Item No. I want to change that to Description.

    Hi Johnson,

    To achieve need to do development, please ask your development partner to develop functionality for it. Like when user open item look up page it's default apply filter on Description. 

    Without development. User can follow below process. 

    1) On Sales Line click on Item no. field. on item selection page, user have click on description field down arrow. On this User need to select Descending.

    Hope this will help.

    Many Thanks,
    Manan

    Hi Johnson_Patrick

    you need to create "Item Lookup" page extension and write some code for the sorting as below.

    {

        trigger OnOpenPage()
        begin
            Rec.SetCurrentKey(Description);

        end;
