Handling codes
Handling codes define a set of processing rules for invoices. Handling codes are required if you use the Match application to match invoices to purchase orders, but you can also define them for expense invoices.
Uses of handling codes in Lease Management
Handling codes are defined using Handling Code (MA05.2). You can attach a handling code to a lease when you define the lease payment schedule on Payment Schedule (LM30.1) or Recurring Payment (LM30.2), or to a lease invoice on Invoice Adjustment Miscellaneous (LM31.2).
Handling codes are optional. If you leave the handling code field blank and one or more handling codes exist for the Accounts Payable (lease) company, then the handling code is set as default on the invoice. Handling codes default according to this hierarchy: payment schedule, invoice, vendor, company vendor, process level, and company.
See the information on handling codes and their defaulting hierarchy in the Accounts Payable User Guide.
