Reason Codes

You use reason codes to categorize:

• Adjustments
• Disposals
• Transfers
• Removals

Reason codes are grouped by types, according to the process to which they apply. When you perform a process that requires a reason code to be entered, the reason-code lookup shows only those reason types that are valid for that process.

Reason codes do not affect processing, but provide information during inquiry and reporting. The codes are used during asset transaction processing and mass transaction processing. Reason codes can be a criteria to define the dimensions, to which the transaction is posted. You cannot delete reason codes if they are in use in any of the following subsystems:

• Acquisition
• Adjustment
• Disposal
• Removal

You can delete one or multiple of reason codes that are not in use.
