Use the Journal Entry Descriptions window to define the elements of a description that appear on the subledger journal header and line. The definition determines both the content and sequence in which the elements of the description appear.

Build descriptions using any of the available sources for the application. For example, an individual segment of an Accounting Flexfield can be included in the description. Use literal strings or a combination of both sources and literals. Some of the sources can only be used for descriptions applied at the line level. For example, a source associated with invoice line number can only be applied to a line description.

Assign journal entry descriptions headers and lines in the Applications Accounting Definition window.
