How do you Disable Account Description Autofill for Purchase Documents? (Invoice, Quote, Order)?

Hi all,

I asked this question previously, although, perhaps too narrow: (10) How do you Disable Account Description Autofill for General Journals? - Dynamics 365 Business Central Forum Community Forum

While this works great for General Journals, our Purchasing team is frustrated by the same issue when entering Purchase Quotes/Orders, as well as Purchase Invoices. It seems the Omit Default Descr. in Jnl. toggle only works for General Journal entries. Is there something similar that can be done to disable this autofill function on Purchase Documents?

Thank you!

I do not think there is any out of the box functionality for that. So if you use a lot of G/L Account in your purchase documents you will have to get a customization around that. You could also submit this as a product idea.

Following this thread - has there been a mod for this fix at all? If not it would be a very handy improvement. We have non-finance users checking invoice coding and when these are updated to the correct account, the description auto-fills with the new GL code description. Bit of a nightmare to be honest.

You have to do a customization to achieve this, we don't have anything in standard BC.

As several other experts have mentioned, only customization can do it.

Hopefully the following similar questions can give you some hints.
