@poncho1234: This may not be tenable this way as the checkbox for Editable Description can be changed independant of the specific transaction at any time. However, if it is implemented by checking f a change in standard description from the one used in the PO, then any inadvertent change there may get reflected in the Supplier Invoice without notice - hence a prudent way was sought in the current implementation where a human re-check is envisaged before finalisation.

Retested - with item set to 'Editable Description' all now working - @joe thank you for your time and patience in explaining this.

I 'expected' as did the OP, that just adding the Supplier Purchasing Data would be all that's necessary; would it be possible to make this less prone to user error or lack of user knowledge?
Maybe:-
Remove the requirement for 'Editable Description' when using Supplier Purchasing Data description.
Or
When supplier purchasing data for an item is added, check if item is 'Editable Description' if not change it?

If not possible for 2.4; perhaps something for 2.5?

@poncho1234

I have now tested this in both php7.1 and php5.6 and I can not reproduce your issue.

I have went through every aspect in both Sales and Purchases and everything is handled as intended on my environments, Windows 10 Wamp.

Are you sure that you have set the item you are testing to 'Editable Description' in the Item form?

If you have followed the instructions, then please illustrate every step taken. Thanks in advance.

But that's not what is happening, in the GRN the original item description is being shown

Hello Guys,

The rules are as follows:

The local Item description is shown on the local Purchase Order Line. When printing the Purchase Order the domestic desctiption and ev. conversions is shown from the Suppliers purchase data on the Purchase Order.

The reason for doing this on the local Purchase Order is that most users only knows our own item description.

When receiving items for the Purchase Order, the Suppliers item description is shown. If the Supplier has changed his description then you can override it here and the Supplier Purchase Data is updated.

Please, @apmuthu, update the Wiki with this information too.

@joe: If this was the original intended functionality, then it must be changed.

When a PO is raised and the Description is edited, then it must persist through to the Supplier Invoice.

I have tried PHP 5.6.x

The actual issue is:-

When you receive the goods, in the GRN the original item description is displayed, not the edited description that was entered in the PO.

So to keep the edited description you have to change the GRN item description - is this the intended functionality?
And if you do not change the item description in the GRN the original item description is written to the Supplier purchase data.

Please follow the steps all the way through to the GRN in post#2 above and you will see the issue.

To rule out PHP/MySQL versions being the cause, check it out on say PHP 5.3.x with MySQL 5.1 and see what gives.

You will have to logout and clear browser cache and then login again.

State which version (and date) of FA you are using and what is the server platform and PHP/MySQL versions and browser type and version used.

Hello Guys,

The Editable Description should be marked in Items Form to use this feature.
