Print Item Name/Number in the Item column even when there is Vendor Name for the Item

For field level help of Vendor Name/Code at the item level, the vendor's name for this item prints in the Item column of purchase forms.  If the user does not enter a vendor name, the item name prints in the Item column of purchase forms.

• If the item doesn't have a Display Name/Code AND Vendor Code, the Item Name/Number prints.
• If the item has a Display Name/Code there is no Vendor Code assigned, the Display Name/Code prints.
• If the item has a Vendor Code, the vendor code prints. Vendor Code supersedes Display Name/Code.
