'Item Description' for GL Detail reporting

Posted By

I have been trying to create a GL Detail report within Sage 50 Canadian Edition Business Intelligence that shows the 'item description' but have not been successful.

The reports currently show 'description' which is not the actual description entered within the source document.

I have tried to customize all the reports within the business intelligence as well as create my own but nowhere is the 'item description' listed as an option. I can only find description which is the made up Sage description and is usually just the vendor name and invoice number.

Has anyone had this issue before, or found out how to pull accurate item descriptions? is this something that Sage is capable of producing? 

Without having proper descriptions pulled for the GL account activity it is very time consuming to analysis as you have to individually look up the source journals one by one.

    I am making this post to see if there have been any improvements to Sage50 since this thread was originally opened. I am currently using Accountant Edition Release 2024.0. I require a report of sales transaction postings (sales invoice) from the general ledger that gives me all of the postings to a specific general ledger revenue account and provides what the user has entered in the ITEM DESCRIPTION cell from the data entry screen. As mentioned in this tread, clicking on every single individual entry to open the "looking up" screen is simply not a reasonable solution due to the extensive volume of transactions.
