[GNC] How to search for a word in a description in an invoice

[Adrien Monteleone]

You would need to uncheck 'consolidate splits on posting' when posting 
the bill/invoice. There is also a default preference for this.

With consolidated splits, you don't get individual line items in account 
registers, but rather one split per affected account.

Without consolidating splits, each line item appears in affected account 
registers as it appears in the invoice - that is - every one of them, 
even if they all are posted to the same account.

This makes searching line item data and reporting on line item data, 
possible.

You can of course, unpost and repost the bill/invoice in question with 
the option unchecked.

Adrien
