Code Maintenance - LaunchUse this screen to launch the Reason Code Maintenance program where you set up and maintain miscellaneous codes that are used throughout the system for various purposes. These purposes include but are not limited to:
To express reasons for entering certain transactions like equipment exchanges or inventory adjustments, or for making system overrides for items like rental rates or taxes
To classify types of entities such as analysis codes, G/L journals, and customers
To represent functions like cycle billing, depreciation, and payment methods
To provide abbreviations for things such as units of measure and business entities
There
are over 100 miscellaneous codes that can be set up in the system. Please
see the Reason Code Overview topic
for an alphabetical listing of all codes with links to the help topics
for the programs where those codes are used.
Click a link to advance to that section of the topic.
Access this screen from the Cross Application Maintenance menu. When setting up a new code, enter the company and location for which you are setting up the code. If you leave the company and location blank, the code settings apply to all of your companies and locations. Enter a two-character code that represents the type of miscellaneous codes are you are setting up (for example, you could enter IA if you were going to set up codes for making inventory adjustments). Finally, enter a two-character code for the first code in your new code type/category.
To maintain an existing code, enter the company, location, and code type for the code you want to maintain, and then enter the code itself. If you do not know the code type or the code, press F4 in either field to search for them.
Use F21 to copy codes from one company and location to another company and location or to another location within the same company.
See the Miscellaneous Reason Codes quick guide for more
information on how the system searches for the appropriate code to use
when the code is set up at the company level with no location, at the
company and location level, or at the level with no company and no location.
