Code Entity¶

A code is a common entity that regroups entites having following fields :

• a translatable code field
• a translatable description

Typical codes are “Type of...”.

A code has two aspects :

• the definition of the code (the code itself)
• the list of values that can be selected in digest

The definition gives the meaning of the code, and says what it’s used for. “Type of invoice” is a code, as well as “Invoice status”.

The code has a type (which obsiously are codes too) :

• System :
  *user cannot modify the code except for its description
  *user cannot add or remove values, neither modify an existing value except its description
• System/User :
  *user cannot modify the code except for its description
  *user can add and remove values or modify existing values
• User : user created the code
  *user can delete or modify the code

Each value also has a type :

• System : user cannot modify the value, except its description
• User : user can modify the value
