                             ARREASON FILE

                            AR Reason Codes

The AR Reason Codes file contains all of the adjustment and memo 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 type, code and description fields are allowed.
