Map Labor and Costs to GL Codes

The GL Code screen lists the defined GL codes. You can create, edit, delete, and restore GL codes. You can also map GL codes to labor and costs.

To work with GL codes, your assigned ClearTrial System Administrator must grant you the Departments/GL Codes Administrator additional role/capability.

  5. In the Description field, describe the GL code.
  6. Click Save.

Edit Default GL Code Mappings

You can map labor to GL codes by task. GL codes can be mapped for internal and outsourced providers for each task.
