Overview

The eXtendOrderDescription feature lets you create a custom message from a blank goods vendor to a decorator vendor. This message is based on data fields in eXtendOrders' OIC records, helping the decorator know what items to expect from the blank goods vendor.

    1. eXtendTech → eXtendOrders → Order Description Setup.
  2. Specify Text and Fields:
    1. In the Description Config section, define the text and fields for the order description message.
    2. Refer to the end of this article for formatting, field references, and a sample description config.

  3. Configure Item Column Fields:
    1. Set up the item column fields where the description information will be stored on the sales order and purchase order records.
  4. Save Configuration:
    1. Click Submit to save your settings.

Description Config Field Reference & Formatting

The following fields can be used in your custom descriptions:
  1. {{item.fieldId}} - Fields of a blank item
  2. {{line.fieldId}} - Line item fields of a blank item
  3. {{po.fieldId}} - Purchase order fields of a blank item
  4. {{oic.fieldId}} - Order imprint configuration fields of a decoration cluster
  5. {{modal.fieldId}} - Modal fields for items (available: qty, description, cost, price, color)

Formatting Instructions:

  • Data specified before <<for>> will print only once.
  • Data inside <<for>> and <<endfor>> will print for each blank item.
  • To use a different field value when a field is empty, use <<{{fieldA::fieldB}}>>. The value of fieldB will be used if fieldA is empty.
Example:
On {{po.custbody_extend_v2vshipdate}} {{line.povendor}} will ship PO# {{po.tranid}} containing: 
<<for>> Qty: {{line.quantity}} of {{line.item}} in <<{{modal.color}}::{{item.custitem_extend_itemcolors_text}}>><<endfor>>
