Add Extended Text

You can extend the description for items, stock-keeping units, general ledger accounts, and resources by adding extra lines as extended text. You can also set up conditions for use of the extra lines.

The following section describes how to add extended text to a description of an item. But the same steps apply to stock-keeping units, general ledger accounts, and resources.

To define extended text for an description

1. Open the card for an item that you want to add extended text to, and then choose the Extended Text action.
2. Fill in the Code and Description fields.
3. Choose the New.
4. Fill in the Language Code field or select the All Language Codes check box if you use language codes.
5. Fill in the Starting Date and Ending Date fields if you want to limit the dates on which the extended text is used.
6. In the Text field, write the extended text.
7. Select relevant check boxes for the document types where you want the extended text printed.
8. Close the page.

You can now add this extended text to documents. The following procedure explains how to add extended text to a sales order, but the same steps apply to any other document that you specified for the extended text.
