Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90): How to Modify Control Account Comment Field

Question: We own Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS90).  In Sage 100 ERP expense accounts are put into invoices and checks, but the control account comments seem to be "hard coded" with a description of the type of transaction.  Is there a place or setting somewhere that will let me determine what information goes into the control account comment field?

Answer:  Comments can be set individually for Invoices, Manual Checks and Checks. This is handled via the Setup Functions in Accounts Payable.

Steps include: Go to Accounts Payable>Setup>Accounts Payable Options
