introduction of visual clutter

Since installing Multi-Inventory (and Purchase Orders PRO at the same time, but I'm guessing this is Multi-Inventory related)

1) the New Order Notification emails have the characters (#) added at the end of every product description. I don't see anywhere to turn this off, and I don't see that it's performing any function.

2) the WooCommerce | Orders | (any Single Order Edit page) has an added column for Location which is populated with a - because I'm not using multi-location. I don't see any way to remove or relocate this extra column, and it's actually creating a lot of added keystrokes for me because my current workflow involves a lot of highlighting/copy/paste of the line item details: description + cost and I now have to manually remove that dash and its whitespace characters or make two separate copy/paste operations.

Any insight or workarounds would be appreciated.

Hi DanAtRainbowTomatoes

Are you sure this is related to ATUM? I'm thinking and I can't figure out where and why would we add that symbol to emails...
This Location column is not new right? I mean: it was not added after you installed the add-ons and it was already there before. As far as I know, that column is added by ATUM free plugin

1) pretty sure, the last email before installation of the two premium plug-ins didn't have the symbols added after the product description, and the first email after does.
2) that is possible, yes. I may not have noticed it right away because I was mostly adding vendor information at first, and the situations where it interferes occur with some frequency but not necessarily every single day. Is it possible to remove the column, or no?

Can you try to disable both add-ons and do a simple test in order to ensure this is only happening with our add-ons, please?
It isn't possible without custom coding. You can try to add this to your child theme's functions.php file:

add_action( 'admin_init, function() { 
    $hooks_instance = \Atum\Inc\Hooks::get_instance();
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_item_headers', array( $hooks_instance, 'wc_order_add_location_column_header' ) );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_item_values', array( $hooks_instance, 'wc_order_add_location_column_value' ) );
});

I haven't tried it but it should do the trick...

Best Regards,

1) I deactivated both add-ons, then placed an order for one item. Everything looks good. I turned back on only one add-on to try and isolate further. The first add-on I turned back on was Multi-Inventory. I then placed the same exact order. And the (#) has been added to the end of the product description.
2) That's unfortunate. What is the purpose of adding an unused column?

OK, we'll try to reproduce it and, if we find any issue, will fix it for the next version
Perhaps you aren't using it but I'm sure many other users will find it useful. We'll consider allowing to disable it from Settings for a future version but, for now, just try to add that snippet. What's the problem with that?

DanAtRainbowTomatoes

1) ok
2) sure

2) We implemented that code using the Code Snippets plug-in, as for us that's a much simpler way to manage these kinds of changes. At first glance it appears to work and solve the issue for me. Thank you.
