When entering sales, and purchase orders, you will be asked for a description to use when updating the ledger and the stock files. This description is (usually) used on the statement and remittance advice and to identify the transaction and the invoice documents in the ledger enquiry.
This option allows you to set a default description to apply as the sales/purchase update description and, if different, the stock update description. The default is applied on creation of the order and can be amended on order header input or document production (subject to configuration).

Enter the default descriptions to be applied on creation of a new order. Note that often the stock description will be ‘cross-referenced’ as the sales/purchase description in the database profiles – if this is so then you should only enter the default sales/purchase description.
