Step 5. Assign Employee Charge Codes

1. Navigate to the Accounting/Codes menu

2. Place a check in the Available Authorized Charge Code(s) – created in previous setup process.

3. Select from the Available Employees list the appropriate employees to be associated to the Available Authorized Charge Code(s) from above.

5. Click the calendar icon box to select a Start Effective Date and End Effective Date (optional)
