Coding of vendor invoices from a purchase order

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

If I post a vendor invoice from a vendor purchase order how does NAV know what general ledger code to post the cost to?

    Normally it should be present. Check if it is not hidden - press "show more fields" on the order header on the General pane. If it is not present, you can easily add this field from the Object Designer in Development environment to the Purchase Order page (50). Check if your rights and license allows this, or contact a developer with such request: "Please make visible Posting Description field in the header of Purchase Order"

    Thank you Alexander. I don't have the Posting Description field in my order header - do I need a developer to add this for me?

    Order X is transferred to posted transaction by default. You can change the Posting Description field in the header of the order. It will be transferred to G/L Description field.

    Thank you for your help. I have managed to post the purchase invoice from the order (I loaded the purchase order then clicked on post  and ticked the invoice option), but when I view the invoice in the general ledger, the description is displayed as order x. and the purchase line description is empty ie I have no idea what the cost relates to . Is there another way to post the invoice which enables me to retain the information about the items purchased ie the item description and preferably to enter more information about the purchase?

    In the Item card, you have Inventory Posting Group and General Product Posting Group; those would define the settings for your G/L entries when you post an item.

    In the Vendor Card, there is Vendor Posting Group that defines the G/L account for vendor.

    HI,

    System Does that posting based on Gen. Bus. Posting Group in Vendor Card & Gen. Prod. Posting Group in Item Card if you are selling item..
