[GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill?

[Murugan Muruganandam]

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

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?

Thank you!
