Hi

For some reason something changed, and the “Item” column on my printed PO, is actually listing the “Brand” or “Vendor Name” and not the Item Name.

I noticed that a new item that does not have a Vendor Name/Code populated is working fine, and all the older items are not listing the Item Name.

I looked under the customization of the form, it looks like under Printing Fields, it is pointing the right way.

Any suggestions ?

I am using a standard transaction layout.

Thank you

Nir

In the attached example, the first item (Expert) is showing fine, the rest list the Vendor Name/Code and not the items name.

Hi Nir,

Has someone played with / changed your PDF template perhaps? When you look at your Custom Transaction Form, take a look at what’s listed in the “Print Template” field, as well as what’s selected in the “Printing Type” radio button. This then tells you what PDF template is used to print your Purchase Orders. Maybe someone has edited your template. Let us know how you go with that.

Cheers,

Kirk.

Hi Kirk

I have checked that before posting this, I looked at it again, and it looks fine to me.

When I switch to Advanced (on the radio buttons) it prints the right name, but the rest of the form is not right. (does not have all the info I want)

I tried editing the advanced template, and I can’t find how to add columns, and point to the info I need.

Here is what the Custom transaction form screen looks like (attached)

Hi Nir,

Okay, so your screenshot seems to indicate the use of a Custom Transaction PDF, and the name of it seems to indicate that this may be ‘Shared’ between any number of transaction types. Is this correct? I’m just wondering then, if it is ‘shared’ among a number of transactions, then did someone make changes to the template for another purpose, which has now upset your Purchase Order template?

Either way, your set up looks fine (in the screenshot provided). I can’t spot any issues there. So in my opinion, you’ll need to make a decision: will you use the Basic or Advanced PDF template? Then depending on which you decide, you’ll next need to look at ensuring it has been correctly set up (and ideally set up exclusively for the Purchase Order – I would not recommend sharing a template).

Let us know if you need a hand with the set up.

Cheers.

Hi Kirk

I may have had to mention that before, we are using One World, and the the layout is shared between the two subsidiaries, so PO’s in both subsidiaries are sharing the same layout.

I would use the advanced pdf if i could edit it, I can not understand how to add a new or replace an existing value with a new one. (I would like to add the MPN and SKU to the columns part)

I’d agree that using the Advanced PDF template is probably the best way to go. There are a couple of ways to enter new fields – the easiest really, is as you said, to replace an existing column (something you don’t need to see) with something you do. To do this, you can try the following: You can use the Fields (the big plus sign) option to select the field you want.
Or you could enter the field’s ID directly. To determine the field’s ID, you can click on the Field’s label (whilst looking at an entry form, simply click the label of the field – note: you’ll need to have Home > Set Preferences > General > Show Internal IDs ticked). Alternatively, use the Records Browser: https://system.netsuite.com/help/hel…haseorder.html
If you know HTML, then click the “Source Code” switch and enter the code directly. Again, in order to do this, you’ll need to know HTML as well as the Field’s ID.

Take a look at the IDs already in the template to give you an idea of how to add new ones. Generally, it will be in the format: ${record.ID} or ${item.ID} (where ID is the Field’s ID).

Hope that helps.

Thank you Kirk

I have tried something along these lines, but it didn’t really worked, I was guessing though !

I will try it again, your examples might be exactly what I needed, I will keep you updated with the results.

Thanks again

Nir

Good luck Nir. Something I often do to help ‘test’, is I try a couple of field IDs together just to see which is the correct one. So I might do something like:

HTML Code:

1:${record.entity.id} 2:${record.entity} 3:${record.entity.companyname}

just to see which one returns the field I specifically want.

Anyway, if you need more of a hand, just let us know.
