I can't get 'Purchase Description' to show on PO's

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:38AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi,

I've spent hours trying to get 'Purchase Description' to show in printed pdf's. The pop up help says that this should print on Vendor orders but I can't find out how to do it. This field isn't available for selection in the 'Printing Fields/columns' tab when customizing the PO form.

I'm currently using the 'Vendor Name' field for the Vendors product code, and in theory using  the 'Purchase Description' for the..... erm.... purchase description!

I would be happy if the 'Display Name' could print on forms if the 'Vendor name' can't. It just seems strange that NS says that the Vendor Name appears on PO's, but I can't get it to do so.

Howdy, Stranger!
