Is there an easy way to get the item description from the purchase order? not from the item record, we have few generic items where we change the item description on the PO, I tried Memo but that didn't help.

you can get these value via "description" from item sublist on PO.

i am doing it on transaction search, i know where it resides on the PO, how do i extract that in search, description is not a field exposed

Hmm, you can use item join field.

i am trying to get this on the Item receipt search, I tried created from... memo and it seem to work, but it's not exactly the same, but I think it might be okay for now, Lets see what they say about this.

field is called Memo(line)

I don't see the Memo(line), I am only seeing Memo and memo (main)
