                             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.

                     for activities in the Activity
                     Management system. All transactions are
                     posted to an account category within an
                     activity. You can assign a specific
                     General Ledger account or range of
                     accounts (company, accounting unit,
                     account, and subaccount) that make up
                     the transactions posted to an account
                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     Period-to-date, year-to-date, and
                     life-to-date balances are maintained by
                     account category for activities. Account
                     categories must be assigned to
                     activities before you do any budgeting
                     or transaction processing.
