Based on official documentation standard AX populates the default description for all transaction types where possible with the following info:



%1 – Add the transaction date.
%2 – Add an identifier that corresponds to the document type that is being posted to the general ledger. For example, for transaction types that are related to invoices, the %2 variable adds the invoice number.
%3 – Add an identifier that is related to the document type that is being posted to the general ledger. For example, for transaction types that are related to invoices, the %3 variable adds the customer account number.




The other placeholders %4 – %6 is automatically populated for the expense report as follows:



%4 - Expense report number - Based on this info that’s why the user is having only the expense number, right?




%5 - Worker personnel number
%6 - Expense report text
