Use Case

  • Copy the item description from a sales order item to related dropship purchase order or special order purchase order records.
  • Copy the description added on the Setup line item(s) of the sales order record to related dropship purchase order or special order purchase order records.

Configuration Details

In some cases, users need to display the description of the same items on dropship/special order purchase order records as specified on their linked sales order records.

When using eXtendOrders, you will always want to show the setup and other charge items' descriptions as specified on the sales order record. This ensures that the descriptions are copied over to the generated dropship/special order purchase order with the necessary decoration details for the purchase order vendor.

By default, NetSuite generates purchase orders with the default purchase description specified on the item record. To override this, enable the "COPY FROM SALES ORDER" checkbox present on the item record. Doing so will copy the description specified on the sales order to the linked dropship/special order purchase order.
