Sometimes, while doing business on large scale with global customers, you may come across a situation where the Item description should be in the terminology which is used by customers with same price list code to whom you are selling your product. This description will occur on the order and invoice you are entering for the customer. That means you can translate the description for Orders, invoices and price list to different languages.

In Sage 300 ERP, in inventory control module you can set the Description for item according to their price list. Go to Inventory Control–>I/C Items and Price list–>I/C Item Pricing.

Item1

Let’s take an e.g. if your organization is selling Item “A1-650/0”  and you want that for Customers with Price list code “USA” and  Currency “USD”  Item description should be “Highlighter U650” then you need to set the description for the same in Item Pricing for that item.

Item2
 
Item3
Now when you will enter the sales order for Item “A1-650/0” and Customer with “USA” price list then item description will be overwritten with Item Pricing description set.
Item4
Note: The Finder in Inventory Control and Order Entry always uses the description from the ‘I/C Items’ screen and not one which is set for Price list code.
This way, you can set item description for inventory item as per the customer’s price list in sage 300 ERP.
