Contains a description of the entry. The description depends on what you chose in the Type field. If you did not choose Blank, the program will fill in the field when you enter something in the No. field.
-
If you chose Blank in the Type field, you can enter some text here - a message or comment, for example. You can enter a maximum of 80 characters, both numbers and letters.
-
If you chose Account (G/L) in the Type field, the program displays the name of a G/L account.
-
If you chose Item in the Type field, the program displays the name of an inventory item.
If you entered a language code on the purchase header, the program will look in the Item Translation table to see whether there is a description of the item in the appropriate language. If so, the program will substitute the translated text.
If the description is the same as what was entered on the item card in the item table (which will be copied to the posted lines), the program will not copy the description from this field when the line is posted. This way you avoid having posts with the same description more than once for the item.
