Enter an Account Code Sort

The account code is divided into 12 sort codes; each is assigned with an alpha character A through L: FND - FNC - OBJ.SO - ORG - Y - PC - E - PD

XXX - XX - XXXX.XX - XXX - X - XX - X - XX

A - BC - DEFG - H - I – J - K - L

Up to eight sort codes can be entered for each report. Subtotals are provided for each sort code selected. The ninth code should be left blank, because it is used for grand totals. Not all sort codes can be used for all the variable sort/break programs; an application error message is displayed when the wrong code is selected. The sort codes are entered from the major/highest to the minor/lowest levels. They can be entered in almost any sequence, but there are a few restrictions. The only restrictions are:

Each gets a header and subtotal except the last one entered. The last code entered is the detail line. If only one code is entered, it too will be a detail line. Duplicate subtotals are deleted. If more than one sort/break is requested, only the first has a page break occur, if the flag is set to Y.
