2.5.1 Maintain Discrepancy Codes

This topic describes the systematic instruction to process the Discrepancy Codes.

You can register the standard discrepancy codes that are applicable to the bills you process. Instead of specifying the details of the discrepancy each time you need to use it, you can maintain them in the Bills & Collection Discrepancy Codes Maintenance screen. The advantage of maintaining Discrepancy codes is that at the time of creating a product or while entering the details of a bill, you need to only specify the code assigned to the discrepancy code. All the details maintained for the discrepancy code will be automatically picked up. This reduces your effort, as you do not need to enter the description of the discrepancy each time you use it.

This maintenance is common for both BC and Islamic BC modules.
