Understanding Account Ranges

You can set up account ranges to restrict the accounts that the system displays in the Project Status Inquiry form. You use the Project Status Inquiry Account Ranges program (P51X100) to specify the account range name and whether to sequence the accounts by cost type and then cost code, or by cost code and then cost type. The system saves the account range information in the Account Range Table (F51X100).

When you set up account ranges, you:

• Can specify multiple account ranges.

• Can specify account ranges that overlap.

• Do not need to specify contiguous account ranges.

For example, you could set up these ranges under one account range name:

• 1001 – 2000

• 1800 – 2799

  This range overlaps with the 1001 – 2000 range.

• 5000–5499

  This range is not contiguous with the 1001 – 2000 or 1800 – 2799 ranges.

You can use the account range names that you set up when you set up visual alert columns and when you specify your selection criteria on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form.
