I guess I started this post -- but after many months now of creating 2 Item Cards (both have to be set up as inventory items - even if you don't stock them - and the builds hve to be done either ahead of sale or at ponit of sale).

Is a pain at sale if the item hasn't been built...... to the sale Item. The staff curse it everyday. We have procedures but when the pressure is on there is always mistakes made - this causes friction, is costing us a lot of wasted time then also in cross checking.
If there is onething that will make me go to xero/quickbooks or other in 2017 it will be this.
Why can't a simple option be set up as mentioned? (2 Item descriptions on the same Item Card: 1 x sale desciption, 1 x purchase description)
I think it unprofessional to have all this messy thousands of extra Item cards, journal entries, and procedures to cope with a simple inadequacy.....................
If MYOB want to mke there product really usefull to small manufcturing / jobbing shop clients - they would put a tickable 3rd optional desciption in called Internal Sale Description: here the business can put notes about processes, special QC details, even machine details about the Item to be Made - it would simply print a page called a Production Order / or Job Sheet. Watch your sales go up then...................................
