                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     life-to-date balances are maintained by

                     values included in the transaction.

                     You can either type up to four values
                     or use Define (F6) to open the User
                     Analysis Entry subform. Use this subform
                     to select the user analysis values you
                     want to include in the transaction. If
                     you choose to type values, use commas to
                     separate them. For example:
                     value1,value2,value3,value4

                     There are three conditions that affect
                     how you can select user analysis values.
                     See the User Analysis Entry form help or
                     the Strategic Ledger procedures manual
                     for additional information.
