- Add/Modify ACCS (BC-627)
- Accounting Classification Code Structure (dba094/dba093)
- Partial Account Classification Code Structure (dba093)

the ENTER key. The Accounting Classification Code Structure
(dba094) window appears. Click on EXIT to return to the
Main Menu. The ACCS has been modified. |

the "Prev" button. If the ACCS is valid for the
fiscal year that was entered, the ACCS (BC606) window appears.
Note:
If the ACCS is not valid for the fiscal year that was entered, the

w/program and fund codes." Click on the EXIT icon and
the original fiscal year will remain. |

Add
or update an ACCS as follows:
- Double-click
on the field in the ACCS to be added or changed. Click
on a code and click on the "OK" button.
- Repeat
this for all remaining fields in the ACCS, except the USER

Click
on the ACCS TYPE field and type in a code to add or

Note:
The TYPE field can be up to two characters long and can contain
any combination of letters and numbers, except for "ZZ"
and "C." You must identify at least one ACCS with an
ACCS type of "D" as your default. Only one ACCS default
can be active at a time. If you list more than one "D"
type, the beginning and ending dates must be different and cannot
overlap. For any other ACCS types (e.g., B1, B2, etc.), the dates
can overlap. However, if the ACCS types are the same (e.g., B1
and B1), they cannot have the same beginning and ending dates.
The
following is a suggested naming system::
- "D"
for your default, and
- "B1,"
"B2,""B3," etc. for options as your 1st,
2nd, 3rd, etc. backups
