I have received a request to associate a long description with the venddeliverydate on the poline table so that notes can be added regarding why the date was updated.
It is easy enough to add the long description, but is there a way to get the long description lookup as well as the date lookup in the application?
More important is how can I get the long description to be editable without having to create a revision of the PO...

I have received a request to associate a long description with the venddeliverydate on the poline table so that notes can be added regarding why the date was updated.

I can't say I've tried it, but it sounds achievable.
1. Go to DB Config, check the box so that it's a long description owner.
2. Run configdb.bat
3. Go to Application Designer, PO app design.
4. Replace the existing control for VENDELIVERYDATE with a Multipart Textbox control. The lookup for the first part is DATELOOKUP and the lookup for the second part is LONGDESC.

If on 7.x you could probably do it with Conditional Expressions. On 6.x, there's no out-of-the-box way to do it other than to set the PO back to WAPPR (or a synonym of WAPPR), make your changes, then change the status back to INPRG or whatever it was at. (Or there's always the option of custom coding or a third-party add-on product.)
