The Description field in Payables Transaction Entry doesn't allow enough room for an adequate description, particularly when we have a freight invoice that is for multiple customers.
This becomes important because we run Smartlists that pull this description in and that impact certain rebates that we pay (freight for some customers is excluded).
Sometimes, AP will just note the customers, if there's room (sometimes there's not, depending on how many customers are on one invoice), which still involves having to pull the invoices to see the amount that applies to each. Other times, the Description is just left blank when there's not enough room to adequately note everything.
I thought perhaps entering each amount on a different line would solve the problem; but, I do not see any other options for entering descriptions - just the one on the first screen of Payables Transaction Entry - so, that does not solve the issue.
Please refer to the attached document for a pictorial view of what I'm trying to accomplish - in a nutshell, when an invoice is entered, being able to adequately show individual amounts and customers making up the total.
This could be useful in breaking out other invoice amounts; but, this is one that continually delays our close process when we have to pull invoices to calculate rebates.
Is there a way to add additional descriptions?
Thank you.
