Hi all,

to a large extent, we sell custom-made products for each customer. Mostly these products are based on a standard product that we have created as a product.template. (Usually it is only a matter of minor changes in the dimensions.)

In a sales order it is possible to change the product description. We use this possibility to describe the changes to the product. These text changes are also included in the order confirmation to the customer.

However, as soon as a purchase.order is created, the standard text from product.template is included there again. The same applies to stock movements.

Is there a possibility that the changed description from sale.order.line is transferred to purchase.order.line etc.?

Since these special products are usually only sold once, it is not an alternative to create each of them as a product.template.

If it should be relevant, we use the SaaS version and therefore cannot install any own software.

Thank you for any advice on how to deal with this challenge.

Hey Ray, thanks for your fast and precise answer!


After I have checked the "Variant grid entry" in the configuration, I can now select my attribute and enter a corresponding description.

This is great, thank you very much!

Best Answer

This is the purpose of Custom Variant Attributes.

From Sales --> Configuration --> Products --> Attributes, find the Size Variant and add a Custom option:


You can type anything into a Custom Attribute when the Sales Order is being placed:


So can your web visitors:


The text typed into the Custom Attribute box will show up on the Sales Order (and the Purchase Order if you configure MAKE TO ORDER) like this:

Ray, this almost works on fresh install of 13.0 The only thing that does not work is transfer of that custom text into PO. In the Notes there is the name of that the Custom value was chosen but not the entered string. Any idea what's failing here? Thank you.

But it seems to work on 14.0 Wonder where the difference is.

I would report this to Support if you see differences between versions on how a native feature works.
