## Overview

*Code Assist* is a feature in Wrapbook's [Production Accounting Suite](/v1/docs/about-production-accounting) (PAS) that suggests account and tag codes directly on transaction lines in real-time, without requiring predefined coding rules to be set up first.

As you create a PO, AP invoice, or JE, *Code Assist* analyzes recent transaction history for the selected vendor and surfaces code suggestions inline, which you can accept by tabbing through or override at any time.

*Code Assist* is available to all PAS companies and is **enabled by default**. [You can turn it off per project in Project Settings](/v1/docs/using-code-assist-for-real-time-account-code-suggestions-pas#417ffe49-8037-45a8-9a88-b16eed1a0677).

## How Code Assist works

When you select a vendor on a new PO, AP invoice, or JE, *Code Assist* evaluates up to 5 of that vendor's recent transactions across all transaction types and looks for consistent coding patterns. If 100% of recent transactions share the same value for a column (Location, Production, Account, Set, 1099, or Free 1–4), *Code Assist* surfaces that value as a suggestion in the corresponding field on new, empty rows.

Suggestions appear as **gray text** to indicate they are not yet committed values. You can:

- **Accept a suggestion** by pressing **Tab** or clicking into the next field to convert the gray text to a standard entry
- **Override a suggestion** by typing or selecting a different value
- **Ignore a suggestion** by leaving the field blank

**Note:** *Code Assist* only places suggestions in new, empty rows. Once you interact with a row, *Code Assist* will not add or modify values in that row. *Code Assist* will never modify existing rows on a transaction.

If no consistent coding patterns exist for the vendor, no suggestions are made.

## How to enable or disable Code Assist

*Code Assist* is enabled by default on all PAS projects. To turn it off for a specific project:

1. In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu and select the project
2. In the left-side navigation, click **Project settings**
3. In the ***Accounting*** sub-menu and click **the toggle** next to Enable auto-suggested codes turn on/off
