After you create a cost code structure, but before you apply any costs or quantities to the accounts in it, you can revise it. You can add a new account or delete an existing account. You can also change any account information in an existing cost code structure and delete original budget information related to an account.

Caution:

If you revise a cost code structure that has costs applied to it, you must run the following global updates to maintain system integrity: Update BU.Obj.Sub to Acct Bal (P83092) and Update BU.Obj.Sub to Jrnl Ent (P09806).

7.1.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Adding an account You can add an account by entering new information on a blank line or over an existing record. The system retains the old information and adds the new information.
Deleting account information You can delete any account that does not have transactions entered against it. To delete an account with only original budget transactions against it:
  • Delete the transaction and enter an asterisk (*) in the first position of the cost code field. Then update the form.

  • Delete the account by removing the values from all of the fields. Then update the form.

You cannot delete an account that has transactions entered against it for prior year budgets, field progress, or actuals.
