In the Purchases & Payables Setup, the "Copy Line Description to G/L Entry" option currently applies only to lines with the "G/L Account" type.

I would like to propose that this option be expanded to also support lines of type "Item"—including Inventory, Non-Inventory, and Service items. Ideally, the description should be copied at the line level into the general ledger entries, rather than being grouped under the inventory posting account.

In many situations, users need to see the line description reflected in the general ledger entries. Currently, when the line type is "Item", the G/L entries are grouped by the inventory posting account, making it difficult for users to reconcile the ledger or analyze the G/L trial balance report effectively.

This enhancement is especially important for clients transitioning from Dynamics GP to Business Central, as Dynamics GP provides detailed distribution entries from sub-modules that are reflected in the general ledger.

I hope this request can be considered a priority, as it addresses a significant usability and reconciliation challenge faced by many of our clients.
