This field shows a description of the entry.
The program automatically retrieves the description when the Account No. field is filled in.
If the journal is a recurring journal, you can choose to let the description be updated automatically every time the journal is posted. (You can also choose to enter a fixed text that is used every time the journal is updated.)
