Segment item classes
Segment item classes make it possible to define account rules that don't need to be updated when segment items are added. In addition, segment item classes are useful for organizing segment items and as report criteria.
- In the Navigation pane, expand the General Ledger > Setup > Segments folder, then select the segment item folder you need to create a class for, then highlight the Classes folder.
- Click
. The New <Segment Item> Class window opens.
- Enter a unique Code for the segment item class. (Segment item classes must be unique for the segment item.)
- Enter a Description of the segment item class.
- Save the new segment item class.
A segment item class cannot be deleted if it has any references.
To delete an unused segment item class:
- In the Navigation pane, expand the General Ledger > Setup > Segments folder, expand the segment item folder which contains the class you need to delete, select the Classes folder, then highlight the class to delete in the HD view.
- Click
. You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the segment item class.

Custom tab
This tab is visible if custom fields exist for the entity. At a minimum, if there are custom fields, a Fields subtab will be present. One or more additional categories of subtabs may also be visible.
Fields subtab
This tab prompts for values for any custom fields set up for entity records of this entity type. Respond to the prompts as appropriate.
References subtab
This tab is visible if other records reference the current record.
Example
Suppose a custom field exists on PRCodes that references an ARCode. On the ARCode record, on the Custom > References subtab, you can view all the PRCodes which reference that ARCode.
Exchange Folder subtab
This tab is visible only if you set up a custom field with a data type of "Exchange Folder". The label on this tab is the name assigned to the custom field.
This tab shows the contents of the specified Exchange folder.
