No descriptions or details in GL Trial Balance in Microsoft Dynamics GP

Posted on by

My problem today is that whenever I run a detailed trial balance there AREN'T details for anything I have posted using the "General" option to post my Journal Entries. When the transactions come from purchases or sales it displays the vendor and customer names but whenever the audit trail is "GLTRC#####" (General Entry) the transaction is just blank even though I've put in detials into the comments. Is there a way to set it up so that these comments show up in my trail balance / reports? Or is GP designed to always leave these "comments" out?

For example if the audit trail was PMTRX the distribution reference would be from purchases, original master number would be the invoice # and original master name would be the vendor / customer name.

But when it comes to the general entry, the line remains blank except for the date, Journal entry number, audit trail, and the amount debited or credited.

    Which field on the TB are you referring to, what's it labeled as in the report?

    Which field are you referring to in the General entry window, the one that you're trying to put information into and get it to appear on the report?

    "Detailed TB by Period for 2018" - I'm referring to the "Orig. Master Name" field. I'd expect that field to display the detail of the General Entry.

    The "originating" fields are purely pulling information from the sub-ledger they were posted from. By definition, entries posted in the GL don't have this information in those fields.

    Are you looking for the Reference & Description fields to be displayed? By default I believe the GP Trial Balances show the "Description" field which is the line item description for that GL account line entry but not the Reference, which is the journal entry description most people use. You could modify the report to add this field in to your report.
