The Commodity Extended Description page is accessed by selecting the Additional Extended Description action on the Commodity tab of RQ, SO, PO and MA Transaction Types or by selecting the More Extended Description action on the Catalog Maintenance page. This page provides a larger scrollable text box for entering data into the Extended Description field. In addition, this page displays the Commodity Group and Commodity Line Item numbers of the current record if the source record is a RQ or a SO transaction. If the source transaction represents a PO or a MA transaction, the Commodity Line Item field is displayed on the page.
The Commodity Extended Description page has Cancel, Save, and Return to Line Item actions. The Cancel action allows you to cancel out of this page without saving any of the entered information. The Save action allows you to save the information on the page without returning to the transaction. The Return to Line Item action saves the information entered and returns you to the previous page. Once the Return to Line Item action is chosen the text is still visible in the Extended Description field; however, it can only be updated by selecting the Additional Extended Description action/More Extended Description, if larger than the area that can be captured in the Extended Description field.
