Re: [GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill?
HI Eric If you want the description of the invoice in your report, 1. Enter the Description in the Posting window (it has a description field) 2. which actually updates the memo field in your Account Receivable or Accounts Payable, 3. The description will be displayed in the report. 4. The logic is that if you have multiple lines then you need a common description at Invoice level Hope it helps Give it a try and post your feedback Saludos Cordiales Murugan From: gnucash-user on behalf of Eric Chapman Sent: Wednesday, March 8, 2023 2:51 PM To: GNUcash User List Subject: [GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill? Hi, everybody! Please see the attached screenshot of a vendor report. I would like to put some descriptive info in the field called "Description" so that when I look at a vendor report I'm reminded of what was bought with that invoice. I can't figure out how to do that when entering a new bill. I searched the GnuCash Guide, but didn't find anything to help me. Maybe someone here can help me out?

Re: [GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill?
Unfortunately, you can't. That field is populated from the Notes on payment transactions as you have discovered, but the Notes field from a bill do not auto-fill into the AP register Notes field on that transaction, and once it is there (by posting it) it is immutable and you can't edit it. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug, or if changing it would be an enhancement request. Regards, Adrien On 3/8/23 11:51 AM, Eric Chapman wrote: Hi, everybody!
