Disabling item description mapping
Default behavior is to map the item description from a PID segment if one exists. If the item description does not match the item description on the purchase order, then this may cause errors and delay the receiving process. Item description mapping can be disabled using this Data Substitution record:
When Requesting Location Usage is run, the report shows the item descriptions from PurchaseOrderReceiptLine. When a receipt is created with an item description that is not the same as the description in the item master, the report is less usable. If the description is not in PurchaseOrderReceiptLine, then the description from the item master for stock and non-stock items is used.
- This process disables the mapping of item descriptions for all items in all 856 transactions from a specific trading partner.
- If the description is used in Receipt Interface, then it is not available.
- Received items not in the item master, for example, special X-type items, have no descriptions.
