The account code structure is only of interest and used if you are working with the accounting module. That is, the project default ZJ_USE_AC is set to Y.

Define the structure of the account codes used for requisition line items on the J.20.01 Requisition Accounts screen, for agreement line items on the J.20.02 Order Accounts screen, and for attached other costs on the J.20.03 Other Cost Accounts screen.

This account code structure is also used in the 'Get Account Code' procedure that is called by the MTO job. For more information, see CIP Execution Options.

The account code structures are defined on the J.10.01 Account Code Structures screen.

In the first (Account Code Structures) block, the header of the account code structure is defined.

Enter the name of the structure in the Structure field, and the descriptions of the account code structure in the Short Desc and Description fields.

Select the Fix check box if the structure is defined in a fixed format. If Fix is marked, you must define a fill character in the Filler field. Positions in the generated account code that remain empty are filled with this filler character.

In the second (Account Code Structure Details) block, you can define the detail elements of the selected account code structure. You can assign up to seven structure elements (attributes, nodes, and tags).

In the Order field, enter an order sequence number. This sequence number must be unique within the structure.

Select the type of the structure element from the dropdown list in the Structure Type field. The available types are:

  • Attribute

  • Node

  • Tag

  • Separator

If you select ‘Attribute’ from the list, you must assign an attribute. Select an attribute from the LOV in the Attribute Name field. All attributes defined on A.50.01 Attributes are available for selection. The Hint Text field is automatically populated from the hint text of the selected attribute. This hint text is displayed on the screens.

If you select ‘Node’ from the list, you must assign a node type. Select a node type from the LOV in the Node Type field. All node types defined on the B.10.03 Node Types and Settings screen are available for selection. The Short Desc field is automatically populated with the short description of the selected node type.

If you select ‘Separator’ from the list, you must define a separator. Enter a string up to 70 characters in the Separator Text field.

Select the Required indicator if the value for this structure element is required (mandatory).

In the Length field, you can specify the length of this structure element. You must define the length if the account code structure is defined as fixed.

In the third (Account Code Structure Detail Values) block, you can define the validation values for the account code structure details. Enter a value in the Validation Values field.
