They auto-display when the ext. descr. is on the primary grid. Since updating a client to version 4.4 PU4 from PU1, the behavior has changed and ED's now pop up. Users get used to the descriptions and find the ED unnecessary. They want the description on the primary grid, just not pop-up the ED. It now slows down the data entry process by making them close the window and is an annoyance.

  • I believe this is a setting in the Role Maintenance under the Security tab for the Inventory Module.

  • In Role Maintenance it only hides from Inventory Maintenance. What about when in Sales Order Entry? User do not want to keep closing the ED window. v2013

  • This will be available in the 2024 Release, scheduled for April 2024.
    In Role Maintenance, the Inventory Management security option, "Allow Automatic Display of Full Extended Item Description" will suppress the auto-display of the extended item description when the item is entered in Item Maintenance AND when the item is entered on a line in data entry.

  • This feature has been added in the 2024 Release, available on April 18/24.
