P&L Report description not matching purchase order

[Eddie1]

The description for a purchase on the P&L report detail does not match the description on the actual purchase order. Why? I have screen prints but can only attach 1 ??

Hi @Eddie1

I’m assuming you’re referring to a purchase invoice rather than a Purchase Order?

The description in the chart of accounts is based on the invoice name when it’s first created.

I’m not sure what you mean by this, sorry. Do you mean attaching files to invoices?

The description is taken from the first line at the point of creation of the invoice. If you’ve updated the invoice lines since then, it’s likely that they won’t match.

However, the yellow notes box on the Chart of Accounts report is editable, so you’re free to change it if you wish.
