Require descriptions in general ledger entries
When you select an account on a general journal line, the account name is entered in Description by default. The description is stored in the G/L entry when you post the journal. You can omit the default account name to prompt users to enter a more useful description for the audit trail.
On the G/L Account Card page, select Omit Default Descr. in Jnl. to stop the G/L account name from being entered automatically when you select that account on a journal line.
Posting requires a nonblank Description on each journal line. If a description is blank, posting is blocked. The check requires text but doesn't assess how detailed the description is.
Hinweis
This setting applies to general journal lines and the Dutch cash and bank/giro journal lines. It doesn't make descriptions mandatory on every type of document.
