Description2 (Desc2) shows on the Expanded tab of 1the Sales Order.

Desc2 is the third column of Item information displayed on an Item Listing and may appear with a custom name, such as "Manufacturer", "UPC", "Unit of Measure" or some assignment specific to your needs (Go to Item Prefs to assign).

Desc2 is displayed directly below Desc1 on the second tab of the Sales Order (Order with Expanded Line Items tab). The following tips may be helpful:

- You can select "Order with Expanded Line Items" as the Default Entry Tab so that Sales Order automatically open to this Tab. This Setting is found in Customer Prefs (at the end of the Customer Toolbar) in the Sales Order Preferences (click the Sales Order button), and is the "Default Entry Tab" setting. This setting applies to all Users.

- Access to Description2 is especially useful for Commenting. After selecting a Line Item, you can Comment Desc1 and Desc2 using the commenting character ` (key above Tab key), telling Big Business to skip the item lookup and to add a comment.

- To see more Line Items, automatically, select a larger Default Window Size in the User Preferences found in the Notes Prefs (at the end of the Notes toolbar, or type Command-U or Ctrl-U). The default setting (for a 640x480 screen) shows three Line Items. The 1024x768 size shows eleven Line Items. This setting applies per User.
