Additional Information

Copy Current Charges: this feature allows for copying forward only a specific find set (the search results from the previous screen), rather than copying forward the entire AR category by default.

Reset Cash Accounts: this feature allows for pushing any updated cash accounts from the AR codes to the newly created charge codes. Pushing these changes while copying charge codes forward is a convenience--newly entered cash accounts on AR codes can be cascaded to underlying charge codes at any point from the AR Codes program.
