Understanding CIS System Constants

CIS system constants provide the basic framework for how the CIS operates for your business needs. These parameters enable you to:

  • Specify the effective date of the CIS scheme used.

  • Activate the scheme.

  • Define how to identify subcontractors within the scheme.

  • Define which GL accounts fall within the scheme.

  • Provide system process default values.

    Important: After you set up the CIS system constants, you must update the account master record with the category code value that you specify in the CIS constants for all of the GL accounts that fall within the CIS. You must also update the address book records with the category code value that you specify in the CIS constants for all subcontractors within the scheme.
