Order entry description, on occasion, can be really long. Our products are remanufactured, and sometimes the description of what is being sold is, well, a short novel.

How can I conditionally display, say, on an invoice, the detail behind the line item? Most line items are under 30 characters, and fit fine, but the occasional one either needs to support a really long description, or the attachment of a descriptive note.

The other alternative, which poses a similar problem, is the invoicing of the top line of a bill of materials, with the bill of materials displayed below it.

I'm thinking that a sub-summary report might solve both issues, but other ideas would be welcome.

Portal are not intended to be used in reports. They are a window to the data in a related file or TO. Make up your report in the related file, and you will find it a lot easier to adjust your data to fit your needs.

Not using a portal - the entry was mistakenly entered in the wrong topic.....

Topic moved from Portals.

The field that you enter data into can not be resize dynamically, for priningt purposes, use the sliding feature of FM to shrink spaces on the invoice.
