Expense Pay Codes CAN NOT be deleted if they have related records or are used in other records. Deleting records is not recommended unless absolutely essential.
Only limited ‘edits’ can be made to a Pay Code once they have been referenced in Pay Transactions. In these instances, a completely new Pay Code needs to be created, and all references to the old Pay Code need to be amended.
  1. To modify an existing Expense Pay Code record, open the required record and select the Edit button available on the top right side of the page. You can also double click within fields that need editing or just click on the pencil icon that appears within fields when hovering with your cursor.
  2. When complete, click on the Save button.
