How are Item Description changes carried over to the related Bill of Material?

Resolution

Select Bill of Materials, Setup, Bill of Materials Options, Sync Bill Description and Item Description
Select an option to determine whether changes to the Description 1 field in Bill of Materials Maintenance and the Description field in Item Maintenance are synchronized.

Select Yes to synchronize the bill description and the item description. If the two fields contain the same value, a change made to one field will automatically update the other field.
Select No if you do not want to synchronize the two fields.
Select Prompt to receive a message when you update one field asking if you want to update the other field.

This setting applies only to items that do not have an extended item description entered in Item Maintenance. If the Require Bill Revisions check box is selected, the description is synchronized for the current revision of the bill only.
