Posted on by 5

Hi

I am comlpetely New to business central and I already have a problem. 

Whenever I insert an account nummer on my purchase orderline to where i want my purchase orderline to be postede in my usiness central automatically enter the account name in the description field. How do I change that? 

I dont want business central to lock up in that field. I want the text imported from the seller. 

I imagine that it is some kind of standard setting that needs to be changed (it hoppens eberywhere I need to type my acvount numbers)

(Sprry if it is not the correct Words but I only know the corrcect danish Word for it. I Hope it still makes sence)

I have the same question (0)

    On sales invoices the description will default from the g/l account. It can be edited to the desired description though. Or you can add comment lines for more context.

    If you can post invoices through a journal then you can omit the description and that is a setting on the g/l account card

    Hi, Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no standard setting to modify this logic. A small customization is required if needed.

    If you are talking about G/L Account, you can refer to Josh's practice.
    If you are talking about Item No., you can use Item Reference to enter the Vendor's item description.
