Report: General ledger details - Include descriptions

I'm having issues with this too in my Essentials file. Is there a way to have the further description printing on the GL report? I have entered descriptions when allotacting split transactions and only the Bank reference is coming through as the description for the transaction.

Please Please Please produce a report that allows for the descriptions entered to be visible from the General Ledger Report.  It is FRUSTRATING that our time is spent dissecting bank transactions only to find that information is then only accessible from the bank transaction itself.  This is critical where there are inter-entity loans and incomes such as rent and primary production where net amounts on the bank transaction need to be grossed up to allow for deductions such as commissions and fees.

Although this shows the Notes in the General Ledger Detail report, if the amount is made up of a split transaction, you want to be able to see the individual description relating to that portion of the transaction.

Hi MYOB.

I'm a relatively new user of MYOB Essentials for a NFP sporting club.

I doubt that the idea of adding a "description" column to the General Ledger Report in MYOB Essentials is a new one.  It would not hard to add one more field to this report - there are columns which are not useful (eg. balance) and could be replaced with the transaction "description"  "Note" might also be helpful, but "description" is the one I really would like to see. 

Whenever the committee asks for a report, I have to manually go into each transaction and draw out the "description" and then track them manually.  I would switch to any other provider who could give this functionality.

Hi

I am having the same issue.

Is there a way of printing the GL with the memo instead of the bank feed notes?

Hi there, 

I have read through this post...this is the exact issue I am having with clients. 

When running a GL detail report and using Bills as the data entry option, the descriptions included in the report just defaults to the name of the supplier. 

This is very limiting. GL's are used to check what has been entered into an account, for example if a transaction is split and description entered that description should be included in the report. 

What happens currently is, the name of the supplier is reported as a part of the GL detail report if there are 10 lines of detail in one invoice I see 10 lots of supplier name, rather than the 10 different detailed descriptions coming through. 

Could this be actioned sooner rather than later, as GL's are very useful and clicking into every single transaction to get the detail of each line item is timeconsuming and frustrating.

Hi Everyone,

Now the General Ledger Details report displays a Description for all transactions, if applicable. If there is a Notes field in the transaction, the Notes will be displayed as the Description, otherwise, the applicable customer/supplier/employee name, or bank transaction description will be used instead.

Thank you very much for all your interest in this idea. 

Why hasnt this been added yet? It is a pretty basic requirement that makes a huge difference to the end user.

When is this going to be added into essentials.  Without it, reconsiliations are harder than they need to be.
