Using spreadsheet codes

You can determine the spread code to use for five types of spreadsheet transactions. When transactions are posted, the posting clerk enters a code. If the Client Control Record field indicated by the code contains a special spread code, that spread code is used. If it doesn't contain a special spread code, the default spread code for that transaction is used. The following table describes the five types of spread codes.
