Type a description of the distribution code.
Select this option if you want invoice, credit note, debit note, and recurring payable details that use this distribution code to be discountable by default. (You can change the Discountable status when you enter a detail.)
Type a code, up to six characters, to identify the distribution code.
Enter the general ledger account number to which amounts posted with the distribution code are distributed. If you use Sage 300 General Ledger, you can select the general ledger account number from the Finder.
Select this option if you do not want to assign the distribution code to any vendors.
If you make a distribution code inactive, you can no longer assign it to vendor records. You also cannot save changes to vendor records that use the inactive distribution code, unless you first assign an active distribution code to the records.
You would primarily use the option when you decide to delete a distribution code, and want to ensure no further vendor accounts are assigned to it. You can change your entry any time.
This is an information field in which the program displays the date of the last change made to the distribution code. You do not make an entry in this field.
