Posted on by Antineus Daniel 77

Hi,

i want to change the description located in generalJournalAccountEntry.text field during invoice posting.

what i know that it is maintained in default description (organization administration -> setup -> default description), however it needs customization because using this default description is insufficient

any hint is appreciated

Thanks,

Antineus Daniel

    How is it insufficient?  What does the Text field need to include that it doesn't already?

    Hi Brandon,

    I have a requirement to add a set of item Ids contained in invoice lines in the field.

    when there are so many lines of items, it is okay to be cut due to string constrain

    I had tried putting a code inside ledgerVoucher and ledgerVoucherClass to set the txt, but it did not work

    Thanks,

    Antineus Daniel

    An invoice voucher will have multiple GeneralJournalAccountEntry records.  Which one must have the augmented Text field?  The Sales revenue posting type?  Sales consumption?  Maybe Inventory issue?

    What do you mean by "this default description is insufficient"?

    I think no need any customization

    as you mention, you can use the below format

    Hi Brandon,

    i will use it for purchase order, and the posting type would be accrual purchase, purchase expenditure, and inventory receipt.

    i would not change the default description other than these posting types

    Hi Mahmoud,

    Is it possible for this default description to display multiple item ids of a purchase order as an example?

    I know that default description can be used, but i don't think it is possible when returning multiple values such as these
