IC17


IC17.1 - Reason Codes

**Form Purpose
Use Reason Codes (IC17.1) to set up reason codes for a company. Reason codes
provide a method for you to override default offset general ledger accounts,
defined in IC04.1 (General Ledger Category), which are normally applied to
inventory transactions.

**More Information
When you set up a reason code, you are prompted to enter a description and a
general ledger account and subaccount number. The description should provide
an explanation for using the reason code. You cannot assign reason codes to
transfer transactions since the offset account in this case is to an inventory
or intransit general ledger account. Also, you cannot use reason codes to
override the default physical inventory variance account. You cannot delete a
reason code once it has been assigned to a transaction. However you can
disable a reason code by changing its status to Inactive.
