Deleting reason codes

If you need to delete a reason code, follow the steps below.

Caution: Although it is possible to delete a reason code that is in use, we do not recommend this. Instead, you can modify the description.

To delete a reason code

1. From the JAMIS Administration home page > Setup tab, under Application Setup, click Reason codes. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Application Setup > Reason Codes. The Reason Codes screen appears.

2. In the Filters section, enter one or more search criteria for the reason code that you want to delete. Your filter choices are: reason type, reason code, description, explanation required.
   
   Hints: You can enter partial information in a filter field, such as R to retrieve all reason codes that begin with R, or %R to retrieve all reason codes that contain the letter R. You can leave all filter fields blank to retrieve all reason codes.

3. Click Retrieve to list reason code records that match the criteria you entered. The results appear in the bottom section of the screen.

4. If needed, scroll to find the reason code that you want to delete. JAMIS displays the records in ascending order by reason type. You can sort the list differently by clicking the appropriate column heading once or twice.

5. Click Delete to the left of the reason code that you want to delete. A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete this reason code.

6. Click OK to commit your deletion.

7. Repeat the appropriate steps as needed to delete additional reason codes.
