Customer Name 2 Source vs Invoice History

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Elofly 175

Hello everyone!

We cannot manage to identify where one field is coming from...

In CUSTOMERS profile, we can see that we have 2 names for the customer (we use one for invoices and another one for commercials):

I have added field in POSTED SALES INVOICE so we can manage better lookup:

But Name 2 is different now: ex. CVC Brasil instead of CVC.

I cannot manage to understand how... there are clearly 2 different sources for this but I cannot see where both are coming from.

The first one is in the CUSTOMER PROFILE under Name 2.

The second one appearing in posted sales invoice, I dont know...

Please help!

Thanks!

    Name 2 and Bill to Name 2 are 2 different fields.  You can go into a Sandbox in Design mode to pull the actual Name 2 field over to the Posted Sales Invoice page. Once you exit Design mode you will give the Extension a name and check the box for Download Code.  When you exit the window it will download a file that you will pull into Visual Studio code and then publish to your tenant.

    The first one is Name 2 from the customer card and the Bill-to Name 2 is based on the Bill-to Customer No. on the invoice, so that customer no. could be different. Please check on that Invoice if the Sell-to Customer No and Bill-to Customer No. are the same or different.

    Hi

    Thanks but the Name 2 is not available in Design/Sandbox:

    This is why I used the other one.

    Am i missing something?

    Thanks

    Thanks Suresh, now I understand where this field is coming from and can advise the team.
