Hi all

My query is that while posting a purchase invoice, G/l entries not being created separately for that transaction, whereas tax entries and Details tax entries are fine. Can somebody help please?

Thanx in advance

What version of NAV are you running?

G/L entries are “summarized & compressed” to the smallest count possible - if all document lines hit the same GL Account, there will be one GL entry, for several accounts each will have its entry but again summarized by that account.

If you use Dimensions, document lines with the same GL account will be further split down for the count of common dimension combinations.

P.S. This is the reason why it’s not possible to find out from GL entries alone the detailed info about, say, purchased Items and GL Description field contains practically useless data…
