Setting up User Defined Costs

  1. Specify this information:
    User Defined Cost Def'n Code
    An identifying code for the cost setup.
    Description
    The full name or description of the data item or record. This is used to identify it on reports and inquiries.
    Short Heading
    The short heading, which is used where space is limited. If this is blank it defaults to the first characters of the description.
    Lookup Code
    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.
    Tracked Cost
    If this box is checked, this user defined cost is tracked on the issue/receipt cost. A maximum of six user defined costs can be marked as tracked.
    Freeze User Defined Costs
    Reserved for future development.
