Subcontractor Purchase Order Item Description

REQUIREMENT / BUSINESS VALUE

Many companies dealing with subcontractors would like to send them detailed descriptions for the item to be produced. The standard behavior for this process is, that the description of the operation is transferred into the purchase line.
