Separate G/L Entries for Each Purchase Invoice Line (Item lines) even with same dimensions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 59

Hello Community,

We are observing that when a Purchase Invoice contains multiple lines posted to the same G/L Account, the system creates a single summarised G/L entry after posting. This happens even when multiple invoice lines exist and all lines have the same dimensions.

Example:

Purchase Invoice Lines

  • Line 1 – item 001  â€“ Amount 10,000

  • Line 2 – Item  001 â€“ Amount 5,000

After posting, the General Ledger shows one entry:

G/L Account 6000 – Amount 15,000

Our requirement is to have separate G/L entries for each purchase line (In case of Item lines not GL Lines) , even if the G/L account and dimensions are the same.

Is there any standard setup or configuration in Business Central to prevent this summarization and post line-wise G/L entries?

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated. Thank you.

    In Purchases & Payables Setup enable the option "Copy Line Descr. to G/L Entry".
