Business Central Vendor Deferral Entries

Posted on by 40
Hi all,
 
Our team is using the Deferral Module in Business Central to defer prepaid entries via Purchase Invoices. 
 
We've encountered a couple issues here, namely, the fact that Business Central does an /in and out/ entry (Dr & Cr expense account for the prepaid addition), as well as the Invoice # as a description for the /out/ portion of the entry to the expense account (which makes it confusing as to what that entry relates to). I've posted a screenshot below, GL 6502 is our expense account, 1521 is the prepaid account (deferral account). In this example scenario I'm trying to defer $100 of expense over the 3 month period of Oct - Dec 2023.
 
I have 2 questions: 
 
1. Is there any way to prevent Business Central from doing an /in and out/ entry in the posting month? Line 1 & 3 are unnecessary as they net out and just create extra transactions. 
2. If there's no way to prevent this behavior, is there any way to change the description on Line 2 & 3 (aside from using the Edit function after it's posted)? I'd like them to have the same description as Line 1 but instead it seems to default to what the assigned Purchase Invoice # is. This way it will be clear that these 2 lines net each-other out in GL 6502 (while the balance nets out, it's not clear that these 2 entries are related to each-other based on description). Relevant screenshots below.
