Use this field to select, by name, the segment for which you want to enter valid segment codes.
This display-only field shows the length of the selected segment as defined on the Segments tab of the PJC Options screen.
Use this field to enter a code for each entity represented by this segment.
For example, if the segment represents departments and the segment length is 3, type a code for each department, such as 100, 200, or 300.
Use this field to enter a meaningful description of the segment code - for example, Marketing, Development, Accounting.
Overview
The Segment Codes screen lets you enter valid codes for segments of contract structures that you want Project and Job Costing to verify before you can add a new contract number.
To restrict entries for a particular segment to a list of valid codes, you must first select the Validate option for the segment on the Segments tab of the PJC Options screen. (You can select or cancel the Validate option for individual segments at any time.) Then, you use the Segment Codes screen to define valid segment codes for your segments.
When you add a new contract number, Project and Job Costing verifies your entry for segments that use the Validate option against the valid segment codes you added for each segment. If the segments are all valid, the program adds the contract number to the system.
Note: You can add segment codes as needed, but you can delete segment codes only if they are not used in any contract numbers.
