An example of if this may be used would be in capturing motor vehicle expenses, if a vehicle's registration is entered as the transaction line subcode.

The GL Transaction Listing provides the option to sub-total based on subcode. You can also create a customised report, or run a query to output transactions summarised by subcode.
