Hello there, Emint. I'll provide information to help you address this to show your memo or description on the General Ledger report in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
 
In QBO, you can utilize the memo or details field to add specifications to the transaction. When entering the transaction inside the company file, ensure you've added details to those fields. Otherwise, the information won't appear in your Memo/ Description column of your Accounts Payable (A/P) section when you run the General Ledger report.
 
Since you already recorded the transaction, you'll want to edit the entry inside the General Ledger report and add the message to your memo field. I'll gladly write down the steps to get you going:
 
  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the left navigational bar, click the Reports tab.
  3. In the Search bar, enter General Ledger.
  4. Enter the correct reporting period and then click the Run report button.
  5. Locate the transaction you entered, and then click on it.
  6. Add the message on your memo field.
  7. Once done, click the Save and close button.

 

Furthermore, I'm providing these articles about adding more details and keeping your current report settings for future use inside the program:
