Issue is the user must enter the description twice which makes no sense at all and has the potential that the PO is posted without user realizing that the Location ID has overwritten their details and post the PO with Item Description instead that then causes issues for the Finance team when they have to report on or have to provide details of a particular purchase. 

 

Also, this is affecting a 3rd party integration with BC PO. The third-party app (iPOS) sends PO data to BC. Client users use iPOS to enter their purchase requests with PO line details and get it approved within iPOS. When this data is then integrated into BC as "Released PO" due to the Location ID validation as you have noticed, the PO line description that iPOS sent get overwritten by the Item Description and that force the Finance team to chase the purchase officer to get the correct description which add delays to process and is inefficient. 

 

What we request is to confirm:

  1. is this a desired behavior of the system (based on my experience with other systems, updating Location ID should not overwrite the PO line description).
  2. This is also against the standard flow of data enter when entering PO line i.e. you would start from entering Item code, its description, location and quantity BUT NOT Item code, Description, Location, Description, Qty etc. 
  3. Or is this a bug and can be fixed in upcoming updates?
