AC08


AC08.1 - Category Structure



Use Category Structure (AC08.1) to assign summary account categories
to an account category structure, assign a depth level to the summary account
categories, and identify the account category structure type (revenue, cost,
pass thru, or accrual). A single summary account category may be added with
a level of 1 for each category type.



**More Information

Summary account categories must be added sequentially. For example,
an account category with a level of 4 can not be added unless a level 3
account
category has already been added above it.
Use Account Category Detail (AC08.3) to assign detail account categories
to the summary account categories in a category structure.
A summary account category can not have the same name as a detail account
category.

AC08.3 - Account Category Detail



    Use Account Category Detail (AC08.3) to assign detail account categories
to a summary account category. To insure roll up consistency in reports, a
detail account category can be assigned to only one summary account category
in an account category structure.



**More Information

    Detail account categories can be assigned only to the lowest level
summary account categories. If a level 3 summary account category has a level
4 summary account category below it, the level 3 category can not have any
detail account categories assigned to it.
    A summary account category can not have the same name as a detail account
category.

AC08.6 - Move Summary Account Category



Use Move Summary Account Category (AC08.6) to change the position of
a summary account category in the account category structure. You can move
a summary account category under another summary account category of the same
type within the structure. The new "parent" summary account category (under
which the summary account category is being moved) must have a depth level
that is one less than the depth level of the account category you are moving,
and can not have any detail account categories assigned to it.

Use Move Detail Account Category (AC08.7) to change the position of

any summary account categories assigned to it.



**More Information

The Effective Date field is required if there are any transactions,
commitments or budgets related to the detail account category you are moving.
If none exist, then the Effective Date field must be blank.
If the Effective Date is required, run Structure Reorganization (AC108)
to update the old and new parent summary account category balances, and to
update the related transactions with the new summary account category
information.
