Detail Codes for Sales invoices
Detail codes must be four digits long. Full details of detail codes can be found in the Detail Code List .
Most sales should be credited to an Income detail code. That is, one that starts with a 1 or a 0. Occasionally a sales invoice is raised to recharge costs for which the University was not responsible (e.g. travel costs for a Visiting Lecturer). In these instances, the sale should be credited against the detail code that bore the original cost.
Please try to avoid using the 1080 (miscellaneous income) detail code where at all possible. Please review the existing income codes that are available in the Detail Code List to see if there is a code that is more suitable. If after your review, you still believe that no suitable code exists, please let management accounts know by emailing manacc@st-andrews.ac.uk. The income codes are currently being revised and this information will be extremely helpful in building up a more comprehensive list of income codes.
