Option 8Delete Subsidiary Code

This function allows you to delete all records which are identified by the selected subsidiary code. The following processing steps accomplish this job.

1. Step 1This function allows you to enter parameters that define the subsidiary code to be deleted. For example, if you stop manufacturing the product “Wicker Chairs”, or no longer need to track costs on that product, you can use this utility to delete all records associated with that subsidiary code.

The screen shown below allows you to enter parameters needed by the Delete Subsidiary Code utility.
