Default descriptions not working

Posted on by 975

Hi there,

Please advise why my default descriptions cant be seen on the following screens:

1. All vendors > Vendor > Transactions
2. Open vendor Invoices

I have set them up as below.

When I create the purchase invoice. I fill in the invoice description field. It doesnt show up.

Thanks,

Shaun

    Hi Shaun,
     
    do you have the default describtion for Purchase order - invoice, vendor with same setup as Purchase order - invoice, ledger?
    On you screens it's missed. Then you should get your default invoice description in vendor transactions.
     
    Regards,
    Pawel.

    Hi there.

    Can we confirm that the default descriptions is only for the voucher?

    I am trying to see it in this screen and I think it doesnt show there.

    Hi Shaun,

    Can you please try the following:

    1) Instead of entering %4 in the text field enter "%4 - test text". I would like to see if the "test text" part will be shown in the description

    2) Can you check that there is no issue with the language setting en-US and the language used for the vendor and your purchase order?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi there,

    Any new one I create, there are no descriptions.

    Hi Shaun,

    Did things work as expected with your new PO invoice or are the descriptions still missing?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    I created a PO, did receipt and then did an Invoice.

    Thanks,

    Shaun

    Hi Shaun,

    Did you post the invoice in an invoice journal?

    I am asking because the default description that you selected is related to a purchase order and not to an expense invoice that you post in an invoice journal.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
