I am looking at SuiteAnswers 84605 and I am trying to do something similar adding the Vendor Name field from the item record to the Picking Ticket Advanced PDF. I have followed these instructions precisely and the field still does not show on my picking ticket. What am I missing?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

It sounds like you're having trouble adding the Vendor Name field from the item record to the Picking Ticket Advanced PDF. Here are a few things you might want to check: 1. Field Visibility: Ensure that the Vendor Name field is set to be visible on the form. You can check this by going to

Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Item Fields > Vendor Name

and checking the 'Display' subtab. 2. Field Source: Make sure that the Vendor Name field is being sourced correctly from the item record. If it's a custom field, it should be sourced from the correct field on the item record. 3. Template Code: Check your Advanced PDF/HTML Template code to ensure that the field is being referenced correctly. The field ID should be used in the template code, not the field label. For example, if your Vendor Name field ID is

custitem_vendor_name

, it should be referenced in the template code as

${record.custitem_vendor_name}

. 4. Form Assignment: Make sure that the correct Advanced PDF/HTML Template is assigned to your Picking Ticket form. You can check this by going to

Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms

, find your Picking Ticket form, and check the 'Printing' subtab to see which Advanced PDF/HTML Template is assigned. If you've checked all of these and the field still isn't showing up, it's possible that there's a script or workflow interfering with the form display. You can check this by going to the item fulfillment record and checking the 'Workflows' and 'Scripts' subtabs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

Here is the scenario I am trying to complete and the steps I have completed, which have thus far been unsuccesful. Scenario User wants to Join Fields Like {item.item.xxxxx} however does not work on Advanced PDF/HTML Templates for the Picking Ticket Solution In the Advanced PDF/HTML Layout, the Vendor Name from the Item Record needs to be sourced in the line item table. To achieve this, {item.item.vendorname} is used in the template, but only one value is being printed across all line items and it is the value of the first line item. This is a standard behavior that only one value will be used in the PDF as join fields only work for the first line item. 1. Create Transaction Line Field 1. Navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Line Fields > New 2. Label: Enter Label Example: Enter Vendor Name 3. ID: Enter ID Example: Enter *_*api_item_vendor_code 4. Type: Select Free-Form Text 5. Store Value: Remove Checkmark 6. Click Sourcing & Filtering Source List: Select Item Source From: Select Vendor Code 7. Click Save 2. Edit Advanced PDF/HTML Template 1. Navigate to Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates 2. Click Edit beside the preferred Advanced PDF Template Example: Edit Custom Picking TicketPDF/HTML Template 3. Locate {item.item.vendorname) 4. Replace with *{item.custcol_api_item_vendor_code}* 5. Click Save

Thank you for your feedback

It's a limitation in advance pdf. you can't use multi level join. if you want to do so, you have to develop a custom pdf template. i can develop a custom pdf for you. even i can show you samples which i developed previously
