Copy Distribution Code

Access this form using Maintain>Distribution Codes> Copy.

Use this form to create an exact copy of a Distribution Code. Select an existing Distribution Code that you want to copy, then enter the name of the new Distribution Code along with its Description. This process produces an exact duplicate of the original Distribution Code.

If a distribution code is applied to both Accounting and Payroll, or just Payroll, only a currency of USD or ANY can be selected. If it is applied to Accounting only, any currency can be used, unless fixed amounts are used in the Copy From distribution code (in which case the Currency field is not available).

 

Copy From Distribution Code: Enter an existing Distribution Code that you want to copy, or select one from the drop-down list.

Currencies were created and activated by the Administrator using the Organization>Currency Setup form. This field is only available if you have installed and added the Multicurrency module.
