This field shows a description of the item on the BOM journal line.
The program automatically retrieves the description from the Item table when the Item No. field is filled in.
If the journal is a recurring journal, you can choose to let the description be updated automatically every time the journal is posted. (You can also choose to enter a fixed text that is used every time the journal is updated.)
To have the program update the description automatically, enter a code that represents the number the program will insert. You can choose from among the following codes:

|
