Alternate Item number/Name on Sales order/Invoice?
Just like everyone our inventory items have a specific Item Name/Number. One of our biggest customers requires we use an Item Name/Number assigned by them on all of their transactions. So each of our items has essentially two names/part numbers. So each item has the standard field Item Name/Number and a custom field for the alternate item name number.
Is there anyway to get sales orders and invoices to reflect the alternate number from the custom field? We could use Display name/Code for the alternate item name/number but then ALL sales orders and invoices would reflect this alternate Item name/number.
