Dynamics 365 Business Central: “Show Amounts” in General Ledger Setup

Hi, everyone.
Glad it’s finally Friday, This will be my last post this week. Thank you in advance for reading.
This time I want to share a very small discovery, “Show Amounts” in General Ledger Setup. This is quite hidden, I’m not sure from which version this was added. This setting is also available in my un-upgraded 16.5 environment. (Perhaps from BC14?)
I believe this will be very useful for some users, in particular, some countries in Asia need to distinguish between credit and debit.

OK, Let’s sign in to Business Central.

Enter General Ledger Setup in tell me, and then choose the related link.

Choose Show more in General tab.

You can find Show Amounts.

Default option is Amount Only.

Tooltip of this fields:
