Exporting OE comments

SOLVED

Is it possible to export OE comments? We have been storing serial numbers in the comments filed until we get an optional field set up and I am unable to find where in the script I can get the comments.

    I can export Comment at Invoice level, but not line item.   I do not see that field available for export on the script. for Invoice_Details. And the Invoice_Comments_Instructions tab, although I selected all for export, is blank.

    I don't know what "script" you're referring to, but comments definitely export.

    This is a list of the fields that I can select to export.  There is no box to select to export the line item Comment.

    I can only export the Invoice level comment, which is not what I need.

    I have no idea what you just pasted and posted, but I repeat, line comments (and instructions) export.

  • 0 in reply to Jay Converse Acumen

    I'm sorry if I am being unclear, but I still would appreciate some guidance on exactly where I choose to export those comments, because I have tried unsuccessfully many times.  Can you please be a bit more specific?

    If you are not getting anything in the export file then there are not any detail line comments.

  • 0 in reply to Ettienne Schwagele

    I am providing a screenshot of an invoice entry where 3 of 4 lines all have comments.  Also below is a view ofn export file for this particular invoice entry and you will see that everything is blank for comment export fields.

    if you have comments in your order before you invoice it, then they will be there.  Comments = line type 1 and instructions are line type 2.

    you could also just use crystal to export using the table OECOINI linked with OEINVH and OEINVD.

    Probably a hell of a lot easier/faster than using the Export function.

    I don't know what to say, it always works for me, and always has.

  • 0 in reply to Jay Converse Acumen

    Did you drill down into the comments field to see if there was actually some comments or instructions?  Just because the field says 'Yes' does not mean there's definitely a written comment.

  • 0 in reply to Dana B. Stidsen

    Yes I have done that.  I see the comments when I click on the column heading.
