Reason Codes (IC17.1)
Use Reason Codes (IC17.1) to set up reason codes for a company. Reason codes provide a method for you to override default offset general ledger accounts, defined in IC04.1 (General Ledger Category), which are normally applied to inventory transactions.
More Information
When you set up a reason code, you are prompted to enter a description and a general ledger account and subaccount number. The description should provide an explanation for using the reason code. You cannot assign reason codes to transfer transactions since the offset account in this case is to an inventory or intransit general ledger account. Also, you cannot use reason codes to override the default physical inventory variance account. You cannot delete a reason code once it has been assigned to a transaction. However you can disable a reason code by changing its status to Inactive.
