Why don't you work around it by using the foreign language
functionality? Just pick some obscure languages, place a different
description in it and change that customer to use that language



Or



Add a customized fields, then add that to your forms instead

As a small OEM manufacturer we do our best to limit how much of our
supplier information gets to our customers to avoid them going
direct. Our problem to solve is to deliver multiple part descriptions
throughout the software. Anything that goes to our customers (sales
orders, quotes, invoices, etc...) we would like a generic part
description. Internally we would like a more detailed part
description. Two possible solutions would be to either use the
foreign language description or spare character user field. Does
anyone have any better solutions?

By design on orders you have Customer Part Number which displays on
packing slips and invoices. The Part Number and Part Description is more
for internal reference or part numbers. Look at the fields on your
crystal forms for controlling exactly what you want your customers to
see.

You'll need to describe what "internally" means for your organization. Do you
want the description printed on reports/screens and if so, which ones? The
situation you describe sounds like the Part Memo field because Memo fields
(system-wide) are never viewable on customer facing documents. However, you
may want the description on the Job Traveler or Order Suggestions or ??? There
are other options like user-defined fields as well but you'll need to be more
specific.

BTW, I believe someone mentioned previously that you have to have a certain
module (currencies?) if you want to use the multiple language fields.

We use a Sales Kit (new in 8.03). That gives us 2 separate part
numbers, a detailed one which is what we purchase and inventory, and
a second part number used for Sales which is not stocked, but picked
from the same location as the purchased part. We use this
extensively for Filters, where one purchase part can be sold for many
different Sales parts under different Part Numbers and possibly Prices.
