As you build up the BOM, the description will copy perfectly from the Item Card, but if you change text on the Item Card afterwards, descriptions on the BOM remain unchanged.
We suggest some routine to maintain synchronized description/texting from the Item Card down to the BOM Components.

I can't believe this is still an issue after seeing threads 4+ years old complaining about this problem. I can't even imagine a scenario where a company would NOT want their BOMs to reflect current descriptions.? At the very least MS should add an option for automatic updating of these descriptions. Just as a user can "CALC STANDARD COST" a user should be able to "UPDATE ASSEMBLY DESCRIPTIONS". Just because people aren't upvoting the issue doesn't mean it should be ignored. It's a flaw in Business Central and should be repaired immediately.

Hello, this would be great. The same problem is when using function Copy item and then you change the description, but on the price lists it is not updated.

Hello, Quite few of our clients are facing the same problem. Would be nice to have a function, which will update item descriptions in the production BOM, after it is changed in the item card.

We also needs the same functionality for pricelists (sales and purchase)

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
