When this procedure contains data, the valid entries are loaded into the category drop down list. If this screen is left empty, then the user will be able to put any category into PARTS.E .

If changes are made to the CAT.CONTROL entries, the user must exit, then re-enter the PARTS.E procedure for the changes to take effect.

Frequency of Use
These entries are usually entered when the system is first being setup since they are required before some other procedures may be used. After the initial setup it is used as required to add new codes.
