                             ARREASON FILE

                            AR Reason Codes

The AR Reason Codes file contains all of the adjustment, memo, and grouping
reason codes that may be used in the Accounts Receivable system. The
adjustment reason codes will be used when discounts, write-offs or
chargebacks are created while applying cash/credit memos to open items. Memo
reason codes are required when manually entering a batch of debit/credit
memos. For memo reason codes, only the code and description fields are
required.  For grouping reason codes, which are used in AR44 Transaction
Obligation Grouping, only the code and description fields are required.
