GL transaction description shows 'Supplier invoice' for all PO trans

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Are there any settings anywhere to change what description is recorded when posting invoices from Purchase Orders into the GL?  Our transactions show the description entered upon posting for journal entry invoices, but for all invoices created from PO's they just say ;supplier invoice'.  This gives us no info at all and is no use for analysing the costs on any one GL for example.

Our support partner want to charge £x for amending each report in which we want to see the description entered upon invoicing for PO invoices rather than 'supplier invoice', whereas I would have expected the actual transaction data captured to be amended, so any report would show that.

Any ideas?  Surely other people have got around this somehow?

thanks

    Hi AXFinance,

    There is a setup where you can add some placeholders to this text like Invoice number, Vendor number and transaction date, but the description of the invoice is not possible in standard AX.

    More info about the transaction texts: technet.microsoft.com/.../jj677363.aspx

    A customization to take the Description as priority over the Transaction Text setup would be possible. Then the transaction text will be filled with this description. I wonder if you then have many reports needed to be customized... It could be not that much anymore...
