Business Central has a very cool feature that allows you to add text Comments to transaction lines. I'm excited about it because I don't believe we had an equivalent feature in the Dynamics GP world.
The feature appears to be well designed and implemented in Business Central, but the official MS documentation on the elements of the features are limited, so I don't think the docs to the feature justice.
There are 3 elements to the overall "feature" in Business Central:
1. Comment Line Type
2. Standard Text Codes
3. Extended Text
Comment Lines
When entering a transaction in Business Central, such as a Sales Invoice, the Line "Type" field can be set to "Comment". You can then manually enter comment text in the line Description field. This is the simplest option for ad-hoc comment lines, but the Description field is limited to 100 characters, so if you need more than 100 characters, you would need to add multiple Comment lines.
