From what I can tell, creating an inventory item that has a suitable description for both sales and purchases is not achievable.
If there was a tick box under the item details tab for:
'i...
Your suggestion is a good one, and would work for products where you can order without the need for technical details in the description.
In our case we need 2 different descriptions because of important details.
All MYOB would need to do is fit another similar size window to the Item details tab and select tick box option use item description on sales & purchase for 1st window /or use item description for sales only,
when this option is selected - a window could show called purchases item description, and a check box: use item description for purchases
In our case we have to create n item for selling the item, and another item for buying the item. So to look at buying history & selling history of a product we have 2 items we have to print reports on, and when looking at profitability of an item.... guess what it doesn't work in MYOB reports because the buy and sell items are not the same item.
Also we have to buy in one item, build to the sell item to make a sale.... So is a lot of extra steps when it could be so much simpler and require a lot less management.
