I guess that the golden rule is not to delete the type e.g. TN - Salesman, MOVR - Movement reason Code etc., but as far as the actual code within that type goes, you should be pretty safe. Some of the codes do make use of the P/V, VAT and limit fields in ways that are not always obvious - see ORTP: Desc'n I.D. Description Limit Tax PV Rate 0 Normal - No OE alloc (PV=0) 0 .00 1 Allocn in OE (PV=1) 1 .00 2 No OE alloc, Adv. alloc (PV=2) 2 .00 3 Alloc.in OE & Adv.alloc(PV=3) 1 3 .00 4 Pre-Production Contract .00 5 Enhanced allocation 1 3 .00 S/21 does come with a lot of tables already populated, such as CCCC - Customer Class, which most probable are not going to fit your business model. These you can easily remove, as long as you replace them with something so you can set up your customers.

Especially the standard ones that come with S/21 As Jim has said you have to be careful, these codes are an integral part of System/21 from order entry to sales analysis. If a program is written right, you might well see '????????' or similar if one is missing. Otherwise, it could incorrectly use the previous description from an entirely different code that had been retrieved, which means reports and enquiries could get very confusing. As Neil has said re PGMJ, check INP35 if items are currently assigned to this or have been in the past, removing it could mess with your historical information and reports, sales analysis etc. Treat deletion with care and caution. -----Original Message----- From: system21-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:system21-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Doug Griffin Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 12:53 AM To: System 21 Users Subject: Re: [SYSTEM21] Description File Maintenance I've never heard of a problem from deleting a PGMJ record.

If the major code was not System 21 supplied most likely it doesn't impact program functionality. A lot of times the code is used to supply text literals for reports e.g. PGMJ codes provide text literal for reports. If the code cannot be found in DESC then "??????????" is output on reports and displays. -----Original Message----- From: system21-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:system21-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill.Geissinger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 7:45 AM To: system21@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SYSTEM21] Description File Maintenance I've gone into Description Maintenance (1/INM) and entered in a description type and major type. On that screen (IN037) there's a F11 option to delete. In looking at the S21 manuals, there's no mention of this function. My question is this, if I delete a specific desc. type/major type what potential problems could it cause? I have a user who's wanting to delete a major type code, but I know the code has been used in the past and I'm not sure if this will cause any problems. Can someone enlighten me? _______________________________________________ This is the System 21 Users (SYSTEM21) mailing list To post a message email: SYSTEM21@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/system21 or email: SYSTEM21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/system21. _____________________________________________________________________ This transmission and any attachments are confidential and are intended solely for the named addressee (s).
