Separate G/L Entries for Each Purchase Invoice Line in Business Central even with same dimensions

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 51

Hello Community,

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, we are observing that when a Purchase Invoice contains multiple lines posted to the same G/L Account, the system creates a single summarised G/L entry after posting. This happens even when multiple invoice lines exist and all lines have the same dimensions.

Example:

Purchase Invoice Lines

  • Line 1 – G/L Account 6000 – Amount 10,000

  • Line 2 – G/L Account 6000 – Amount 5,000

After posting, the General Ledger shows one entry:

  • G/L Account 6000 – Amount 15,000

Our requirement is to have separate G/L entries for each purchase line, even if the G/L account and dimensions are the same.

Is there any standard setup or configuration in Business Central to prevent this summarization and post line-wise G/L entries?

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,Yes you can prevent this summarization with a standard setup. Go to Purchases & Payables Setup and enable the “Copy Line Descr. to G/L Entry” toggle. This posts separate G/L entries for each invoice line (even with identical accounts/dimensions) and copies the line descriptions to them.  If descriptions aren’t needed, you could use general journals instead for more granular control.Hope this helps you !

    Why do you need to split the lines?
    If the dimensions are different, the system will automatically split the lines.
     
    Thanks.
