Use the Transactions tab on the G/L Integration window to:
- Specify the type of information to use in the transaction description, detail reference, detail description, and detail comment fields for general ledger transactions.
You can assign one or more pieces of information (segments) to each field, provided that the combined length of the segments and separators does not exceed 60 characters. Fields exceeding this limit will be truncated when you post general ledger transactions.
The segments you can select depend on the type of transaction to which you are assigning information and whether the information is for the transaction header or the details. This ensures that the information passed to General Ledger is relevant for each type of transaction.
When you create general ledger transactions, if no data exists in the source transaction field, the field will be blank in the general ledger transaction. For example, if you assigned the original transaction description to the G/L Entry Description field, but there is no description for a particular entry, the field will be blank in the G/L transaction.
This information also displays on Bank Services' posting journals and on General Ledger’s Journal Entry window and reports.
