                        Distribution Code Header

The Distribution Code Header file contains distribution code header records.
A distribution code header record has one or more related detail records in
the Distribution Code Detail file. A detail record represents default
information for one line of expense distribution.

Distribution codes are used to automatically create expense distributions or
expense distribution "shells" for invoices or to split invoice distributions
into multiple distribution lines.
