If there are new object codes that your Depact system does not contain, they can be added using the following process.

NOTE: You must have updated to Depact version 2.1.1 or higher in order to have this functionality.

You may want to view your account types before you start this process to determine in which budget category to put the new object codes.

Step 1.

Click "Maintenance".

Step 2.

Click "Special Programs".

Step 3.

Highlight "Object Code Maintenance".

Click "Execute".

Step 4.

Click "Add" to add a new object code.

Enter the new object code.

Enter the short description (20 characters) of the new object code.

Enter the long description (40 characters) of the new object code.

The short and long description can be the same.

Click "Start".

Step 5.

Click "Yes" if the object code information has been entered correctly.

Step 6.

The message will display the object code that you are adding.

Click "OK".

Step 7.

For each new object code added, you will see the following screen repeated for each account type in your system.

You must assign the new object code displayed at the top of the screen to one of the budget categories displayed in the box in the center of the screen.

Highlight the budget category that should contain the new object code, and select "Save New Link & Go to Next Account Type".

Step 8.

Click "Yes" if the budget category selected is correct.

Step 9.

Return to Step 7 and add the object code to the next account type.

When all the account types in your system have been processed, the system will re-display the screen shown in Step 3.

Step 10.

Click "Execute" if there are more object codes to add. Return to Step 4 to enter the next object code.

Click "Exit" if there are NO more object codes to add.
