4.2.3 Defining Credit Categories

You may make adjustments to a cost center's charges in the
form of credits for problems and malfunctions that occur in
processing the cost center's work.  To facilitate analysis
and reporting, a coding system is provided for categorizing
the reason for a credit.  These codes are called credit
categories.

A default table of credit categories is distributed with
CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.  However, to provide
maximum flexibility, you may make additions or changes so
that the reporting structure is consistent with your
installation's requirements.


STEPS TO DEFINE CREDIT CATEGORIES

 __  1. Select Option 4, Credit Category Definition, on the
        Parameter Specifications menu to display the Credit
        Category Definition panel and make the changes that
        you need.

 __  2. Submit the job CREDCAT in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL.
        This job generates the $ACTCRED format in
        sharedprefix.MICS.MCOLIB, which is used in the
        Invoice Credit Supplement Report to relate each
        credit category to its description.  If you made any
        changes, you are automatically asked to submit this
        job when you END from the Credit Category Definition
        panel.

          You can also submit this job from TSO as follows:

             SUB 'sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(CREDCAT)'
