AC08.1 - Category Structure

**Form Purpose
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

account category structure.

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.
