Posting the Invoice Description onto the G/L Entry description

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

We would like to copy the Invoice Line Description to the G/L Entry description when you post an invoice.

Anyone have any ideas how this could be done?

Thanks

    This is tricky to copy Invoice Line description as there might not be one-to-one relation between G/L lines and Invoice Lines (in G/L invoice lines can be combined into one line). That is, better either to stick to the standard Sales Header option as Saurav mentioned, or (strongly not recommended) re-design the posting procedures the way that there will be more G/L entries created (with one-to-one relation to Sales Invoice Lines).

    (One option to achieve this without significant modification is to create a "technical" dimension and fill it with "technical" values, and then use each different dimension value in the line of the Sales Invoice - this would result in separate G/L entry for each line with its own dimension value combination code when posting the invoice. Then modification of posting routines would be not that drastic).

    Hi Lewishh,

    This is how standard NAV does. The system will add the description in G/L Entry from SalesHeader."Posting Description".

    If you want to modify that then you can change that in Codeunit 80.

    The process goes like this - Gen. Journal Line is created from sales Invoice and then Gen. Journal Line is then posted and becomes G/L Entry.

    If you update the description in Gen. Journal Line it will post same in G/L Entries.
