Changing description of Product Receipt transactions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 104

Hi All,

Currently all Product receipt transactions are reflecting with standard description as "Vendor Product Receipt" in the Ledger accounts.

How can I customize this through "Default Descriptions" to include PO text or description or Procurement Category that is on the Purchase Order.

I have currently used these fields and none populate the PO description or text

    one of the variables seems incorrect

    remove all extra characters and try with simple variables like

    Hello Grace,

    The 'purchase order - product receipt, ledger' default description that you selected and shared should do the job and ensure that the default text is replaced by your selection.

    Please also try making a similar setup for the 'invoice' default description.

    Once you have that, create a new PO, post the packing slip and the invoice and check the voucher texts.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello Grace,

    Those fields you required to add to the description are all in line.

    From the point of my view, the voucher is summary for product receipt. If there are multiple lines, system can not record those fields. That is why lines table could not be found in the reference table.

    Thank you Ludwig. Please see the descriptions I have chosen and the Voucher text it has produced. I still cannot description. My concern is when Product has been receipted , there is an accrual journal posted in the Ledger account with description "Vendor Product Receipt" which is difficult to analyse what those costs /vouchers are for .

    Hello Grace,

    If I have a look at the voucher then I cannot see a problem.

    Here is what I see and understand:

    Element 1: AU05-0000173

    This must the be result of parameter no 4 and should hold the purchase order number.

    Is that right?

    Element 2: VENDDoveta

    This looks like the vendor account/tax invoice account that you specified in parameter No 5

    Element 3: Purchase order

    This is the purchase type that you specified in parameter no 8

    What it is that you would have expected in the description field?

    To me this looks good.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    I have seen them working for PO and vendor account

    why would you need purchase type?

  • Grace1609 Profile Picture

    Hi Ludwig, thank you for your time. I am happy with Element 1 & 2. I am looking at populating the Purchase Order text/description

    For Eg : User raises PO for acquiring some MS Licenses and the PO has description as "MS Licenses" with Unit price, qty etc.

    When Goods has been receipted, i want the description on the journal to be

    "PO Number (Element 1) - Vendor Name (Element 2) - "MS Licenses" (Element 3)"

    Now my question is how do I get the Element 3 (which the text/description on the actual Purchase Order).

    Why i need this : While reviewing ledger accounts, the current description for Goods Receipt transactions are "Vendor Product Receipt" which gives me no details on what it relates to, hence the need for more detailed description.

    Thank you !

    Grace

    Hi,

    As i said previous, those fields you required to add to the description are all in line but the voucher is summary for product receipt.

    Please consider adding the generic detailed information to PO header.

    without customizing just get PO header/generic fields and suggest if our response helped
