In Sales Invoice Tab, Description Column always shows Invoice Description Entry,
regardless of whether Column - Description is checked or unchecked

can someone get some light into this ?

This is how it should work. If you do not have Column - Description checked then it doesn’t matter what is in those line description fields. It’s ignored. The question is why is this a problem, or what do you expect Manager to show instead?

If Column - Description is not checked, then I would expect the field in description column to be empty.
but it picks and shows information entered in the invoice description field instead.

maybe there is a problem with 2 fields labeled " description ".

But isn’t it better to show description for the entire transaction rather than nothing at all?

It might be confusing if you get global information entered in the invoice description field where you would expect item description normally ( if checked and available )

That’s the crux of it. But I’m intrigued to know what is it you find useful about keeping the description field blank?

@lubos , @Ealfardan thank you for clarification
I think I got it. In Summary Tab drill downs, description column is not limited to Line Descriptions / Item Descriptions.
