Is it possible to change what description posts to the General Ledger when you post from the Payables Module? For example, in other systems I have worked in, you could choose to have such things as the Vendor Name, Invoice Number, and even line item description post to the general ledger, as opposed to just the PP document number? Our Financial Team would like to see more relevant information in the General Ledger posting lines. The PP document number means nothing to them at a glance.
