Codes in FastBase are used as a secondary classification on all accounts.

For Accounts Payable this is generally left blank until further reporting requirements are defined.
For Accounts Receivable the codes are used to represent Salespeople.
For General Ledger codes can be used for further classification of Income and Expense accounts.
For Inventory codes are used for additional breakdown of stock items.

Select each module to maintain the list of codes.
