Add detailed, customized information to project planning lines for items, resources, standard text, and general ledger accounts. Use extended text to share information about special prices, terms, or instructions for your projects with your customers, vendors, and employees.
Feature details
You can extend the description for items, general ledger accounts, and resources by adding extra lines as extended text on purchase and sales documents. Now, you can add extra lines on project planning lines. You can have multiple extended texts, and you can automatically or manually add them to documents by using criteria. This feature gives you an extra capability to communicate important information to customers, vendors, and employees.
For example, you can automatically add a particular text, such as details about a special price, to project planning lines on all your German projects for a limited period.
