From the main menu, select Maintenance > Adjustments > Universal Acct/Description/GL Code.

If you want to change the long description on a code for all the system, you can do the following: 1. Change the description on the grade code.
2. Use a Universal Code Change, putting the same code in the Find and Replace fields.

This will change the long description on ALL contract items and on marks. It will NOT change:

• Contract confirmations

These items must be changed manually.
