If you use multiple companies and the report includes journal entries to intercompany accounts receivable or intercompany accounts payable accounts, you can drill down from the Description column in those rows to see supporting detail in the Intercompany Billing Detail report. (This drill-down option is only available if your role security gives you access to the Intercompany Billing Detail report, and it is not available for tax-related journal entries.)

Description 1, Description 2 If you select Transaction Detail as a sorting/grouping option, these columns display the descriptions for each transaction detail line.

Vantagepoint stores the following types of descriptions for each transaction:

  • Description 1 is a general description of the transaction (for example, the name of the vendor for an accounts payable voucher).
  • Description 2 is a more specific description of the transaction (for example, the description entered during transaction entry for a single item on a voucher).
