General ledger integration configuration
You can use default descriptions to automatically update the Description field when vouchers are posted to the general ledger. This functionality has been expanded to work with Landed cost.
Go to Organizational administration > Setup > Default descriptions to create, edit, or delete the default descriptions for your ledger postings.
The following list describes the other values that have been added to the Description field menu on the Default descriptions page to accommodate the Landed cost module.
| Description type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Import costing – Cost accrual | An accrual for estimated journey costs is processed when a purchase order invoice is posted. You can change the default descriptions to include the voyage number. To do so, use %4 for the shipment number. |
| Import costing – Goods in transit order | If you use in-transit processing, the purchase order invoice is posted along with the products to a goods in transit account. You can change the default description to include the in-transit order number. For the in-transit order number, use %4. |
| Inventory – close – adjustment | When an accounts payable (AP) invoice for a voyage cost is processed, an inventory adjustment is made to estimate the voyage cost. Therefore, you can update the default descriptions to include the voyage number. To do so, use %4 to for the shipment number. |
