Changes to OITM Item Name replicate to RDR1 Dscription on open order lines

Question

Hi
A quick question, does anyone know if it is practical to have changes to an item's Item Name field replicated to sales orders RDR1 Dscription field on orders which have open lines for that item?
Scenario we face is when an item is made 'obsolete' standard practice is to mark it inactive and edit the OITM Item Name field to contain 'Obsolete'.
We may have sales orders with lines open for this obsolete part which we need to be automatically updated if the original data changes.
Thanks in advance for advice or guidance.

Hi Marli,
Try this:
IF $[RDR1.U_Label] = '2'
SELECT Case T0.U_UPCChoice
When 1 THEN T1.U_UPCRetail
WHEN 2 THEN T1.U_UPCLoc
WHEN 3 THEN T1.U_UPCItem
WHEN 4 THEN 'Look at Attachment'
END
FROM dbo.OCRD T0, dbo.OITM T1
WHERE T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0] AND T1.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
Thanks,
Gordon
