Topic: Bug in Print Purchase Orders report

When I enter supplier invoices, after selecting and adding an item, I will frequently edit the item name.  In some cases our items are general item categories, so it will often be the case where I will enter the same item multiple times, and then edit the description to distinguish them.

This works fine for data entry; however, the Print Purchase Orders report does not show the edited descriptions properly.  If I enter three of the same item, but edit each of the descriptions to make them unique, on the report I will see one of those edited descriptions repeated three times.  Interestingly, If I go into Void a Transaction and look at the Sales Invoice, I see each of the edited descriptions correctly (and is where I am currently printing from to get the correct descriptions).

Re: Bug in Print Purchase Orders report

The problem here is if you have a special Purchase Price and Description from the Supplier. The description will always be updated with the latest item line description when entering.
If you remove the purchase price and Description for the supplier from the Purchase Pricing (item tab), then it will always work.

This purchase pricing data is normally used when our description is different from the suppliers.
Internally our own description is shown, but when printing to the supplier the purchase pricing description will be printed.
It is also here we can have a conversion factor. Look in the wiki about this.

Ok.  I looked at the Purchase Pricing option and I guess I now at least understand what is happening, but it doesn't resolve the issue for me.  The items we are talking about here are service items and have no intrinsic price.  The descriptions and price are determined on the fly at time of entry.  For now I can continue to print from the GL transaction details view though which shows my entered descriptions.

Ok, in that case you can delete the purchasing Pricing data from the supplier. And you should be fine with that.
