This Overhead Pool window consists of two panes. The fields on the upper section are used to record account information, while the fields at the bottom are used for tracking purposes. Results of transactions performed are automatically transferred into this field, and cannot be changed.
The fields and functions of the overhead pool are:
Surcharge Code: This field can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters, and can be sorted and searched. Alphanumeric characters can be used for coding.
Surcharge Name: The string is 50 characters long. Indicates the name or the description of the overhead pool. Although the surcharge name field is important, it is not mandatory. The same surcharge name can be used for different overhead pools. However, since search and sorting transactions can also be made by surcharge name, the surcharge name field is also sorted by the first ten characters.
...
Status: The field used to specify whether or not the overhead pool will be used in transactions. This field has two options: Active and Passive.
The Account Status section of the overhead pool is used to display totals resulting from transactions. Data cannot be entered directly or changed on these fields. Overhead pool totals are displayed on the Debit, Credit and Balance columns in local currency and foreign currency.
