What happens behind the scenes
Adding a code creates a new sort code record after checking that the code is not blank and does not already exist.
Editing an existing row updates the description only. The code value remains the same.
Customer, prospect, and campaign screens read these codes when users categorize or filter records.
Troubleshooting
The new code will not save
Likely cause: The code is blank or already exists.
Safe fix: Enter a unique code.
Contact support if: The code appears unique but PAX still reports a duplicate.
Users are confused by an existing code
Likely cause: The code value may be short or legacy.
Safe fix: Update the description to explain when the code should be used.
Contact support if: The code itself must be replaced across existing records.
