You may make adjustments to a cost center's charges in the form of credits for problems and malfunctions that occur in processing the cost center's work. To facilitate analysis and reporting, a coding system is provided for categorizing the reason for a credit. These codes are called credit categories.
A default table of credit categories is distributed with
MICS Accounting and Chargeback
. However, to provide maximum flexibility, you may make additions or changes so that the reporting structure is consistent with your installation's requirements.Steps to Define Credit Categories
- Select Option 4, Credit Category Definition, on the Parameter Specifications menu to display the Credit Category Definition panel and make the changes that you need.
- Submit the job CREDCAT in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL. This job generates the $ACTCRED format in sharedprefix.MICS.MCOLIB, which is used in the Invoice Credit Supplement Report to relate each credit category to its description. If you made any changes, you are automatically asked to submit this job when you END from the Credit Category Definition panel.
You can also submit this job from TSO as follows:
SUB 'sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(CREDCAT)'
The following sections will help you decide how to define the credit categories:
