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.
- the Customer code for WHSmith is set to WHSmith and the Lookup code is set to SmithWH.
