But often the partcode gives this away also, hence the need to alter both. Also, you may call it an "rA123", but the customer might know that partcode as "flathead-screwdriver-12mm" > Apart from my original need to go to a Part record from an Invoice/Quote > (and for that matter the Goods Inward (Shipping->Receive) form), it > would be good if a change to the part number refreshed the whole line as > it's all too easy invoice for the wrong part at the moment. > I think since people clearly need both, that the answer is to show both *our* partcode AND the overwritten partcode on the same screen. I think there is space if we use a vertical aligned column. I personally think that the line item should be unchangeable once entered and you delete and re-enter if "our" code changes, but the customer viewable part code can be overwritten as often as desired. I think this should also be a small change in the code - one extra field which is fixed and unchanging.
