Solved an issue with repeating Descriptions in AP

[JohnDMeyers]

I posted this issue two years ago, and I finally solved it.

It has to do with creating multiple invoices to the same vendor (our credit card bill), each one to a different expense account. In fund accounting, the journal entry for each expense account would take on the same description.

It is partly user error, and partly a (feature? or bug?) of PowerChurch.

Our bookkeeper was using the Description field in the top window to give the detail of the transaction (the window above the Reference box), and very little detail in the lower window "line-item description" next to the account number.

It turns out, this Description will repeat in the journal entry in fund accounting as follows:

Vendor: C Bank
Description: Desc #1
Line item: 01-5510-000 Line desc #1

Vendor: C Bank
Description: Desc #2
Line item: 01-5520-000 Line desc #2

After posting, this is what appears in the expense account ledger in Fund Accounting
01-5510-000 Desc #1 Line desc #1
01-5520-000 Desc #1 Line desc #2

In other words, Desc #1 gets repeated on each item of the multiple invoice listing.

Not sure if this is a feature or a bug.
