Change description of supplier invoice

[Remidiah]

In Purchases the sales description is the same as the first line of the purchase invoice ( which is always “product 1”). As all the supplier’s invoices start with the same item description how can I change it so that supplier’s invoice number appears on their purchase account?

What exactly do you mean by “on their purchase account”? If you just mean can you see the supplier’s invoice number in the list of purchases, you can click on “modify columns” in the top right corner of the purchases list view and enable the supplier reference column. Additionally, if you go to “advanced settings” and enable the option to “name invoices on creation” then you will be able to enter your own purchase (or sales) invoice names explicitly, overriding the default behaviour where the invoice name is the first line description.

Many thanks, you guessed precisely what I wanted – to see the supplier invoice number.

I had not see the light grey modify button. Now pressed and invoice number added

Thank you
