AAR-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5                                     AC952
Account Category     This is the new account category in the
                     Activity Management system.

                     Account categories are groupings of
                     costs, revenues, or accruals used for
                     reporting and inquiries for activities
                     in the Lawson Activity Management
                     system. All transactions are posted to
                     an account category in an activity. You
                     can assign a specific General Ledger
                     account or range of accounts (company,
                     accounting unit, account, and
                     subaccount) that make up the
                     transactions posted to an account
                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     Period-to-date, year-to-date, and
                     life-to-date balances are maintained by
                     account category for activities. Account
                     categories must be assigned to
                     activities before you do any budgeting
                     or transaction processing.
