How to include the supplier name and bill description in the General Ledger Report?

Question

Hello,

Does anyone know how you can bring the supplier name and bill description into the General Ledger Report? This report in its current format is pretty much useless as it doesn't give you any information about a transaction. You cant export a list of transactions from a GL Account and easily check that things are correct.

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks Genreve. I will go make that suggestion as I am surprised at how basic MYOB is compared to other similar systems such as Xero that just have these sorts of reports as standard. The reporting in MYOB is pretty appalling for a finance system.

Hi @AQ2,

I can see how adding information like supplier name in the report would make it tons more useful. There isn’t currently a way to bring the supplier name and bill description into the General Ledger report.

As a workaround, you’d need to run a more detailed purchases or transaction report alongside the GL report and compare the details there.

If this is something you need often, it could be worth submitting an idea, as having the supplier name and description in the GL report would make it much more useful. You can post it as a suggestion here: MYOB Business Ideas Exchange | MYOB Community
