Anybody know of a senario where making the Item Ledger Entry Description editable is dangerous?

Once in a while - we would like to Update or Clairfy a description - specifically for Positive or Negative adjustments. Somtimes there not so great.

Thoughts....

    Actually Harry, I am having trouble finding a scenario where it would ever be SAFE to set the Item Ledger Entry to editable. :wink:


    I assume you are thinking of adding Modify permission to table 32 Form 38 or table 32. I really would never recommend this. It could be deadly.

    I have had scenarios where a client need to modify added fields (50,000..99,000) int he ledger, and have created a function (similar to Cust and Vend Ledger edit) so they can safely change just those fields. But never modify the entire Table to be editable.

    You can put the code into a function in CU22 which already has the permission.

    Thanks for the suggestions
    This is a very rare occurance - So I'll just pass the word that's it's not the way to go.

    PS I just wanted to make the description field editable :D

    :oops: sorry I was multi tasking and didn't read close enough.

    The description field it self should not be a big issue, just do as I sad above an add a function in CU22 to allow it.

    Modifying description fields in ledgers is safe, although modifying ledger tables in general is condemned by Navision.

    Harry, you'll need a developer's license to make this possible.
