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. ...

    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,

Phoebe

    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).

      Hi Mike, 

       

      Yes i do use the job numbers when posting to the asset account. 

       

      If you dont mind I ask you this as well. I found something weird while I was manually entering the asset details in our spreadsheet. Some items posted to the fixed asset account arent through purchases, they are posted to the asset account from a bank payment entry. These amounts show on the General Ledger are always off. 

       

      For example: 

      on the General Ledger (Detail) Report, it shows

      Delivery for 2 Chairs $80.00

      2x Chair; Delivery for 2 Chairs $518.00 

       

      Under the "Spend Money" entry, the entry is

      $510.00 2x Chair

      $88.00 Delivery for 2 Chairs 

       

      Have you ever came across to this? 

       

      Thanks,

      Phoebe

        Oh. :( I just came here to ask the same question (as original).

        Sorry I can't help with that second question though - it seems very odd.

Looking for something else?
