Charge Codes (Client)

Charge Codes are assigned to Recurring Charges, Recoveries and Tenant Capital to identify the specific charge entered. In many instances, an Organization will utilize the same Charge Codes in rAbstract that are used in an Organization's accounting system.

Charge Codes set up in the Client Administration section reflect the default Charge Codes; when new Buildings are added, these Charge Codes are copied into the Building Administration section for the new Building. Client Administrators may add, edit or delete the default Charge Codes used in creating new Buildings. Likewise, after a new Building is added, a Project Administrator or Abstractor may add, edit or delete the Charge Codes for that Building without affecting the Charge Codes at the Client Administration level.
