Disbursement Entries - Presentation of disbursements on invoice generated by Payable Entries or Payment Entries

QUESTION: We’ve noticed a difference in how entries are generated on an invoice depending on how they’ve been created.

When a general cheque request is done, all of the relevant information such as cheque number, payee, invoice number etc. show up in the description. When an accounts payable request is done, even though all information has been put into the description, it will only show the disbursement code description and not the additional information like cheque number, payee, invoice number.

Is there something in the Acumin system configuration that needs to be selected to ensure descriptions are being shown at all times when generating invoices?

RESPONSE: Yes, Acumin offers you ability to manage the content of disbursement entries as well as the display on the invoice.

Content of Disbursement Description (Data Input)

When a user creates a disbursement to be charged on a Matter, its content is built from the configuration established within the Acumin System Settings as displayed below:
