To define an ABC auto code extension:If you want to assign two or more activities to the same auto group code, use the ABC Extension Maintenance screen to define auto code extensions so that the system can differentiate between the various activities.
For example, if you reprint an invoice for your own purposes, you may not want to assign the cost of that activity to the customer. You can assign two activity codes to the auto group code you use for reprinting invoices—one for customer use and one for internal use. Then assign an extension, such as INT, to the internal use activity code, so that the system knows the activity for which to generate a log entry.
To define an ABC auto code extension:
From the Events > Activity Based Costing > Maintenance menu, select ABC Extension Maintenance to display the ABC Extension Maintenance screen.
Note: You must have ABC.MAINT authorization to access this screen.
In the Ext field, position the cursor on a blank line and enter the three-letter code to use to identify the extension.
In the Extension Description field, enter a short description that identifies the code.
Press Esc to save the information and exit the screen.
