Reporting on purchase invoice lines posted

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 92

When you create a purchase invoice and use G/L Accounts or items for the different lines on the purchase invoice, the description you see in your Chart of Accounts is the unposted Purchase invoice number and not the description you put in on the purchase invoice lines. Any idea how you can get the description from the purchase invoice line to appear in the transactions posted into the Chart of Accounts. 

Thanks,

Claire

    Hi,

    I think this is the option you need to switch on in the "Purchase and Payables Setup" page
