         <ListItem>Disposals</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Transfers</ListItem>

process.</Paragraph>

         <ListIntro>Reason codes do not affect processing, but provide information during inquiry
and reporting. The codes are used during asset transaction processing and mass
transaction processing. Reason codes can be a criteria to define the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#Dimension_tf" role="glossary">dimensions</Link>, to which the transaction is posted. You cannot
delete reason codes if they are in use in any of the following subsystems:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Acquisition</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Adjustment</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Disposal</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Removal</ListItem>
