Define order of reclass definitions

Axiom processes reclass definitions in the order they are displayed on the Manage reclass definitions page. The order in which the definition runs is indicated in the Run order column. Any deactivated definitions retain their original locations, so if you reactivate a deactivated definition, the system prompts you to specify whether to return the definition to its original location or select a new location. For more information, see Activate or deactivate reclass definitions.

If the list shows only activated definitions, you may notice gaps in the Run order column, which means that the missing run order definitions were deactivated. To view the run order for all definitions, whether active or deactivated, clear the check mark from the Show only active definitions check box at the top of the page.

IMPORTANT: Reordering definitions can affect the run process for other definitions.

Define order of reclass definitions

  1. From the Enterprise Decision Support home page, click Modify most recent cost model or Manage cost models in the Cost accounting section. The last cost model selected is shown at the top of the page.

  2. To change cost models, select another one from the Select cost model dropdown.

  3. Under the Reclasses and allocations section, click Define reclasses.

  4. Take one of the following actions:

    • To move a definition to a new location on the list, click the arrow icon in the Actions column. In the Move definition? dialog, select the definition that should precede the definition you are relocating, and click Move.

      For example, you have six definitions. The definition currently in position 3 can be moved after positions 1, 4, 5, and 6. Positions 2 and 3 are not listed because the definition already resides after position 2 and exists as position 3.

      NOTE: If there are only two definitions are in the list, you can only change the order by moving the definition in position 1 to position 2.

    • To order the definitions by method type, click Order by reclass method at the top of the page.

      IMPORTANT: By clicking Order by reclass method, the system removes any custom ordering that was referenced in the preceding bullet. You can reorder the definitions, if needed, after you group the definitions by method type.

  5. When ready, process the cost model.
