I want to pass the line-by-line detailed description from my AP invoices to the GL as GL description 2.

In AP, company profile, integration, I have set the G/L description 2 field to User defined, and have typed %des into the 2nd column for both Batch user defined format and Other user defined format.

According to the help file for %des. "If you have enabled Allow edit of G/L distribution description in the Company Profile, %des will send the detail description for the invoice to Ledger.

Two questions.

1. Why is NOTHING being passed to my GL description 2?, and
2. How do I enable Allow edit of G/L distribution description - I cannot find it in any of my company profile screens in either AP or GL?

1. If you are entering a description on the Header, it should fill in the Detail description. If it's not, I'd be surprised.
2. Payables | Company Profile | Batch/System Check, on the right hand side towards the bottom "Allow edit of G/L distribution description"

Hello,

1-Nothing is passed to the GL until you actually post a batch in AP that was created with the new AP Company profile settings. So past transactions won't update dynamically, if that's what you're asking.
2-The option you're looking for is on the "Batch/SystemCheck" tab in the AP Company Profile towards the bottom right hand side. This will then allow you to edit the description field on each line item in your AP transactions. If you type something in the Header Description field, it should automatically appear in your detailed description field on each line item. But you will be able to override it with that setting enabled.

OK, got it working now. Thanks.
