I want to include “Description (line item)” from “Receipts and Payments” in my custom report. I get two options for DESCRITION there but both options pull data from DESCRIPTION in top left corner of the RECEIPTS AND PAYMENT form.
Can anyone help solve the problem?
@Tut
Thanks for the help. It worked. I was doing EXACTLY what you asked NOT to do 
It would be great if you could explain why it works the way you explained, it will help me better understand how custom reports work.
Thanks and regards.
Think of the secondary fields as representing subsets of the primary field. In the first screen shot, Description simply applies to the general ledger entry itself, that is, to the line item. Custom reports are made up of data from general ledger entries.
In the second screen shot, you are selecting the Description of the Payment or Receipt transaction form, that is, of the entire transaction of which the line item was a part.
Sometimes, the terminology is not completely clear, so you have to experiment to see which you want.
I would appreciate, if @AJD guidance can be shared to understand the solution.
@Tut this gives one for the clarification! We are also trying to pull line description from few forms. It is noticed that line description entered in payslip does not stored in respective ledger but main description is store.
I don’t know, I might be selecting wrong paramenter or something else, would appreciate if you can guide us also to pull line description.
