    I realize that this is almost surely not possible with Design Studio, the DS instructor mentioned that it may be possible with a code change. I'm at a loss on where to even begin looking for this, though...

    On AP20.1, if a user hits the search arrow next to "Remit To", the drill pulls back all of the vendor locations, presenting the location code, vendor name, city, state, zip.

    the problem is, the vendor name is the same for all, and if there happens to be the same city/state information as well, the user does not immediately know which to pick (obviously the user could do a search, and select to filter info, but I'm looking to reduce clicks)

    What they would like instead, is that the default drill pull back location code, Addr1 and Addr2, City, State.

    Where would I start looking to try to change what the drill pulls back?

      Here are a couple of posts related to modifications of DrillAround rules.

      Keep in mind that this is a modification.

        Perfect. That's what I was needing.
        Not sure if they'll ultimately want the change, as we've been trying not to make code modifications, but I like to show that it "can" be done.

          Just remember that "can" <> "should" :)

            I'm actually really lucky in that the end users fully understand the risk of making code changes, and have so far been reluctant to request any changes once they're aware it's a code level request. For that reason alone, i'm more willing to research what it takes to make the code changes (plus, being a brand new employee here, doing the extra legwork definately doesn't hurt).
            With that said, just as I start to think this all is making sense, I get a curve ball...
            Looking at the ctrl-alt-a properties of the drill around in question on AP20.1, it gives me this:
            title="Vendor Remit To Locations" id="AP-VLO-S-0006"
            So I assumed that in the AP.or file, I'd find something along the lines of "AP-VLO-S"? No dice. So how would I go about confirming that I'm looking at the right area within the .or file to make my changes?
