   Thanks for the additional feedback on this idea, and apologies for the time since our last update.

   As noted in the discussion, the Description column doesn’t show the same information in every Xero report. In the Supplier Activity report, it shows a transaction summary, such as the bill type or reference, rather than the descriptions entered on individual bill lines. This can be useful for reviewing a supplier’s activity over a period, but we understand it doesn’t provide the line-by-line detail you’re looking for.

   The Description column in the Account Transactions report also varies by account. For accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank accounts, it shows the contact name. For other accounts, it can show the contact name alongside the line description.

   For line-by-line bill information, the Payable Invoice Detail report is the best option.

   We’ll continue to track interest in this idea. Changing how the Description column works in the Supplier Activity report isn’t on our team’s roadmap right now. If that changes, we’ll share an update.
