Nominal Code Defaults tab

Accountants Enterprise with Practice Manager only

This tab on the Nominal Codes page lists the Data Entry Code Types and enables you to select which nominal code is mapped to each code type by default.

The four drop-downs list the nominal codes as defined in the Nominal Code List tab, plus a -None- default option (for use when you want to map nominal codes manually).

To select your default nominal code for each code type

Select Maintenance > Ledger Maintenance > Nominal Codes on the main menu or Maintenance > Maintenance Map > Ledger Maintenance > Nominal Codes. The Nominal Codes page opens at the Nominal Code Defaults tab.
Select the most appropriate default code from the Timesheet Codes drop-down, for example 194 Fees Time Billed.
Select the most appropriate default code from the Disbursement Codes drop-down, for example, 193 Disbursements Billed.
Select the most appropriate default code from the Miscellaneous Charge Codes drop-down, for example 194 Fees Time Billed.
Select the most appropriate default code from the Estimate to Complete Codes drop-down, for example 194 Fees Time Billed.
If you want to manually set up your Nominal Codes, select another tab (e.g., Nominal Code List) or click Close to complete Nominal Code set up and close the Nominal Codes page.

Your default Nominal Codes may be edited later if necessary.
