Set different Departments on a GL level of a transaction

Hi guys, 

I hope you are all doing ok. 

Can you please tell me if there is a way to define the Department of a transaction, at a GL impact level (e.g. on a Bill or Bill Payment)?

For example, on a Bill, the user can set the department on a Body level and on the expense line:


On a GL level, on the expense is kept as set on the department line, everything else is picked up by the Department of the body:

Is there a way to override this? Not to have the user’s entry, but mainly to have some type of rule-criteria via Workflow maybe and set a specific department? Is this feasible or does it require scripting?

Howdy, Stranger!
