AR-1080: User Defined Fields for A/R Customer Masterfile IM-1015: Extended Item Description As sales order line items are created, the item description and the extended item description are normally defaulted to the values in the Item Masterfile for inventory items and to blanks for non-inventory items. However, if the EDI Advantage program creates an item with an override description, the extended item description will be blank. During Invoice Processing, the extended item description in a sales order line will be copied to the invoice line. IM-1114: Increased Unit Price Mask This Extended Solution s Unit Price mask will be supported. Note that even while the Sage Software products support the Unit Price mask added by this Extended Solution, it is unknown by Sage Software, Inc., if the EDI Advantage product will support the mask.

SO-1014: User Defined Line Fields for Sales Order As Sales Order line items are created, the line UDFs will be initialized to their default values defined in Setup. Note that any Smart Processing Extended Solutions which affect the contents of the UDFs are NOT supported. If the DETAIL$ string is present (contact SUMA for details on the contents of this string), its contents, up to 6 characters, is loaded into the first 10 bytes of UDF data. No validation is done for content, field sizes or type (i.e., date, numeric, string); it is up to the EDI Advantage program itself to provide only valid data in the string. During Invoice Processing, UDF information in a sales order line will be copied to the invoice line. If the UDF information does not exist for a sales order line, the defaulting process described above will occur.
