Mapping Category Codes to Create Alternate Sequences

Access the Extended Job Master form.

Category Code 1 Selection

Enter the characters that the system selects from the cost code of an account to create category code 1 for that account. The system automatically creates the category codes when the account is added to the Account Master table (F0901). A cost code can be up to eight characters, therefore, valid characters are 1 through 8. Enter + to skip characters. For example, to add accounts with cost codes 03100, 05120, and 12100:

If you specify 123 in this field, the system selects positions one, two, and three from the cost codes. It creates the codes 031, 051, and 121, and assigns them to the respective accounts as category code 1.

If you specify 2+4, the system selects positions two and four from the cost codes. It creates the codes 3 0, 5 2, and 2 0, and assigns them to the respective accounts.

If you specify 678, the system selects positions six, seven, and eight from the cost codes. Because those positions do not exist for the cost codes that were added, category code 1 is blank for those accounts.

If you do not want to use the automatic selection feature for any category code 1, leave this field blank.

Category Code 2 Selection

Enter the characters that the system selects from the cost code of an account to create category code 2 for that account.

Category Code 3 Selection

Enter the characters that the system selects from the cost code of an account to create category code 3 for that account.
