AC64.1 - Burden Types

Use AC05.1 (Account Categories) to define and maintain account categories. An
account category, or "cost category", is an additional organizer that can be
used to store and post transactions for budgeting and reporting.

Defining an account category is a three step process utilizing three different
forms

Step      Function
----      --------
1.        Use AC05.1 to identify whether the account category is used to store

          revenue, cost, or accrual transactions.
2.        Use AC06.1 (Account Category Assignment) to assign account
          categories to an  activity group and all or a specific activity. You

          also define whether the activity is billable and can be capitalized.

3.        Use AC07.1 (Account Assignment) to assign specific companies,
          accounting units, accounts, and subaccounts to combinations of
          activities and account categories.

This program has the following form tabs to define account categories.

Use the Main tab to define a name or number for an account category, a
description of that account category, select the type or category (revenue,
cost, accrual), and the status.

Use the Error Suspense tab to select the account category you want to
designate as the error suspense account category. This account category is
used to store invalid journal entries or posting errors.

Run AC205 (Account Category Listing) to list all account categories, what type
it is, and the status.
