Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Extended Texts

Extended texts in Dynamics 365 Business Central can be used to create item descriptions as well as to add some extra information to the sales order lines in the shopping cart.

For more information about how to add item description in Dynamics 365 Business Central, see "Item Description".

Extended texts used for the items allow to add some extra information which will be shown in the shopping cart under the sales order line. You can use extended texts for an item if, for example, you sell an item at a special price for a limited period. Thus, you can add this information to notify a customer.

To add extended text to an item to be shown in the shopping cart under the sales order line:

Step 1: Open the item card and on the Navigate tab click Extended Texts.

Step 2: On the General FastTab select a language code if you want to add extended text for a specific language available in your webshop, or you can use All Language Codes checkbox to add extended text for all languages.

Step 3: You can use the start and end dates to determine when extended text should be visible in the webshop.

Step 4: On the Lines FastTab add information which should be shown in the shopping cart under the related sales order line.

You can add several lines of text. Each line will be shown in the shopping cart one under another.

 NOTE

If you select the Visible in Webshop checkbox on the Sales FastTab, extended text will be shown not only in the shopping cart under the related sales order line, but also on the product details page as a product description, if product description is not present in Sana Admin. Thus, if you want to add extended text only as an extra information to the sales order line, the Visible in Webshop checkbox should not be selected.

Step 5: In the item card window, on the Inventory FastTab, select the Automatic Ext. Text checkbox.
