JosephKaufman asked a question.
Comments no longer a field in Business Data One-Off Purchase Upload
If you had a comments field in your one-off Purchase upload it was able to populate the Purchase Order Line Item Comments field. This was helpful when you wanted to add a means of tracing a purchase to the specific line number in the source document. Uploading Comments no longer seems to be an option in Flexera One. When was this removed and why?
@JosephKaufman - I don't recall if and when the 1-Off Purchase Template contained a Comments field.
If you wish to create Purchases within ITAM that include Comments on the PO Line, then you can use the Business Importer/Adapter that is part of the Beacon. The Comments field is available here for importing with a Purchase Order Line.When was this functionality removed from the one-off upload? I used to use it there.
It was not part of the template. But the upload used data in the field if you added it and uploaded it. I used it many times.
I've looked at the built-in process for doing one-off uploads of purchase data back to around the 2014 timeframe, and can find any evidence that this upload process has ever supported importing comments on purchase order lines.
