General Ledger - Show Description in separate lines

https://community.myob.com/t5/AccountRight-Getting-started/Report-General-Ledger-Detail-Show-line-description/td-p/134834/page/2

 

Hi everyone, 

 

My question is quite similar to the post above. 

 

My situation is that in one purchase entry, we have entered 5 lines for 5 seperate items, they all have different price but entered to the same code. 

When I run the general ledger, it only show one line for the whole purchase, however i would like to see it in seperate lines as I used this to update the asset register. 

 

Advise please :) 

 

Thank you 

 

Phoebe 

  • Hi PChan2019 , AccountRight consolidates posting to the same account and job number (and always has done). The only way to force separate postings is to allocate a unique job number to each line, which of course is not always possible if you are already using job numbers. However, if job numbers are an option, you could create a series of job numbers just for the purpose, eg job number 1 thru 10, and allocate each line accordingly.

      Hi Mike, thank you for your response. 

      We are already using job number so this wont be an option for us. I guess I will just need to update our record manually to show seperate cost in this case. 

       

      Thanks,

        Hi PChan2019 , just checking whether you actually use job numbers when posting to the fixed asset account? (You may use them elsewhere but not for balance sheet postings for example).
