Changing an automatic transaction text
Every financial transaction in Dynamics AX can (and normally should) have a descriptive text. Some texts are entered by users, and some can be generated by the system. The latter option happens for automatically-generated transactions, where the user cannot interact with the process.
Dynamics AX provides a way to define text for automatically-generated transactions. The setup can be found in Organizations administration | Setup | Default description. Here, the user can create custom transaction texts for various automatic transaction types and languages. The text itself can have a number of placeholders—digits with a percent sign in front of them, which are replaced with actual values during the process. Placeholders can be from %1
to %6
, and they are substituted with the following values:
%1:
the transaction date.%2:
a relevant number, such as invoice, delivery note, etc.%3:
the voucher number.%4
to%6:
custom; depends on the module.
