Universal Code Changes
To change a code value in the entire system, you can use the Universal Code Change feature. This will replace an existing code with a different code on all documents and screens for the entire system, or, for a certain date range.
From the main menu, select Maintenance > Adjustments > Universal Acct/Description/GL Code.
You can change the following code types:
- Account Code
- Cost Code
- Country Code
- Destination Code
- G/L Number
- Payment Terms
- Product/Description
- Shipment Terms
Select the code type, and fill in the code to find and the code you wish to use to replace it (use a date range if needed), then click the Continue button.
You can schedule a start time in the future or select the Start Now button to begin.
CATS will show this screen when complete. You will also have the option to print results.
Product/Description Changes
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
- Traffic Document descriptions.
