Defining an additional code list

  1. Open Additional Code Lists (ACL).
  2. Complete this information:
    Code List
    This is the name of the additional code list and must be entered.
    Fall Back Language
    Select a language to be used for which you are serialized for.
    Name
    A descriptive label to be displayed when an additional code list is available. You can maintain the additional code list name in corresponding languages nominated for the code list.
    Lookup
    Language 1
    The language the list is to be populated in. This automatically defaults to the administrator's language.
    Name
    A descriptive label to be displayed when an additional code list is available. You can maintain the additional code list name in corresponding languages nominated for the code list.
    Lookup
    A lookup code can be used to find a record, as an alternative to the record code. It is often set to a shortened version of the description. It is particularly useful if a record is often referred to using different codes. For example, the Chart of Accounts code for Fuel Expenses is 75201 and the Lookup Code is set to FUELEXP.
    Language 2
    Select a second language if required. Only installed languages which are serialized are available.
    Name
    A descriptive label to be displayed when an additional code list is available. You can maintain the additional code list name in corresponding languages nominated for the code list.
    Lookup
    Display Order
    The order of codes presented when selecting a code. The order values must be unique, but do not have to be consecutive.
    Code Value
    The code value which must be numeric.
    Code Description (Fall Back Language)
    The descriptive label in the nominated language.
    Code Description (Language 1)
    The descriptive label in the corresponding nominated language 1.
    Code Description (Language 2)
    The descriptive label in the corresponding nominated language 2.
  3. Save your changes.

    To delete a code from the additional code list, select Delete Code. If the code is being used by an extension field, you cannot delete the code and a warning message is displayed.

    To assign an additional code list to a custom extension field, from Analysis Dimensions (AND) select Extension Fields from the Action menu. Select the custom extension field you want to attach the additional code list to and click Amend. The Extension Fields Setup form is displayed. Amend the Reference Code List field to include your new additional code List. The additional codes are now available in the Default Value field.
