GL import data "Description"

[alamaijaz]

Hi,
We are importing data from legacy system(Receivable) into GL according to Categories, which are defined in GL. When we import data in GL it put "Journal Import Created" in Journal and in Journal Detail.
We want to put Description of Categories in Journal Header and also in Journal Detail. We are using summarized Check option in import form.

Hello.

You will have to stop import journals in summary and start importing in detail.

Hope this helps.

Hello.

This is an excerpt from help online on running General Ledger Interface:
To run the General Ledger Interface program:
1. Navigate to the Run General Ledger Interface window.
2. Choose a Posting Detail of Summary or Detail.
This controls how Receivables creates journal entries for your transactions in the interface table.
If you select Detail, then the General Ledger Interface program creates at least one journal entry in the interface table for each transaction in your posting submission.
If you select Summary, then the program creates one journal entry for each general ledger account.

That's why you do not have the detail in GL.
