Cause

The Miscellaneous Receipt Information Comment is built by taking the Charge Code's Short Description, adding a value of REF:, and then appending the Transaction Reference for the Miscellaneous Payment. Payments Journal creates the Line Description by taking the Miscellaneous Receipt Information Comment, shortening it so that the Transaction Reference can be added again, adds a / after the shortened Miscellaneous Receipt Information Comment, and then puts the Transaction Reference after the /.

The Line Description then becomes the Journal Comment in Account Inquiry and Journal Inquiry/Print.
