Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Goods and Services Receipts work center.
  2. Go to Receipts and Returns view.
  3. Go to Show by Documents subview.
  4. Search for ABC (ABC is the Goods and Services Receipt ID).
  5. Click in Edit button.
  6. Navigate to Items tab.
  7. Navigate to Notes subtab.
  8. You can see the Notes related to the item level here.
  9. Navigate to Notes tab.
  10. You can see the Notes related to the header level here.
  11. Navigate to Document Flow tab.
  12. Click in the icon corresponding to the Goods and Services Receipt's Journal Entry.
  13. In Line Items section, click in the line related to the Item of the Goods and Services Receipt.

You can see that the field 'Item Text' does not have the text maintained in the Notes.

Cause

The 'Item Text' field maintained in the Journal Entry of the Goods and Services Receipt has the same value of the 'Product Description' of the item. So if the Product Description of the Item is 'XYZ', the Item Text field will have the value of 'XYZ' as well.

We have screenshots of our internal system to illustrate this scenario. All the data informed is fictional and not related to reality.

The first screenshot shows the Goods and Services Receipt document and the item's Product Description:

The second screenshot shows the Goods and Services Receipt's Journal Entry. You can see that the 'Item Text' field has the same value of the 'Product Description' field shown in last picture:

Resolution

This scenario is the system's excepted behavior.
