Common Codes - NUUPCD

Introduction

Common codes are part of the Nucleus system. They store parameters used by various processes that change infrequently. All BusinessPlus subsystems have a particular set of associated common codes. Therefore, the common codes have been organized into sections by module. 

Adding or Updating Common Codes

To add or update a common code, access mask NUUPCD from the main menu within BusinessPlus.

Code Category: A four-character code used to categorize the code being defined.  Required. 

Code Value: For those code categories which have multiple entries, the Code Value is used to differentiate between the entries.  Enter up to eight characters.

Short Description: Up to eight characters describing the code or values specific to the code as documented.

Medium Description: Up to 30 characters describing the code or values specific to the code as documented.

Long Description: Up to 72 characters describing the code or values specific to the code as documented.

Ledger:  All common code setup includes a two-character Ledger code field. This field can accept a Ledger code of @@, which allows the common code to be used by ALL ledgers. The second option is to specify a previously defined Ledger code to restrict the use of an individual common code to that Ledger.

Associated Values, Codes & Descriptions

Up to five numeric values, codes, and descriptions may be associated with the given Code Value. Associated Numeric Values may have up to five places of decimal accuracy. Associated Codes may be up to 12 characters in length and are automatically converted to upper case. Finally, Associated Descriptions may contain up to 30 characters. Some common codes require specific values and placement in these fields.  Be certain to follow the value and placement instructions for the given common code to ensure accurate results.

Client-Defined Common Codes

The common code category range “CS00” to “CSZZ” has been reserved for individual client use. Creating a new common code in this range does not create additional functionality by itself, but can be used to store static values.
