Analysis codes (BOM settings)

Analysis codes are used in reporting.

You can set up to 20 default analysis codes Analysis codes are extra pieces of information or customer fields that you can use to improve your reporting and to compare different areas of your business. Analysis codes can be used to group your records together, and transaction analysis codes can be applied directly to transactions posted to your nominal accounts..

Analysis codes are used throughout the Sage 200 Accounting and Manufacturing modules. These allow you to filter the codes that you want to see in use in the BOM module.
