Element: Account CategoThe account category associated with
                       the allocation.

                       Management accounts by which activity
                       transactions are grouped for budgeting
                       and reporting. Set up account categories
                       for an activity before you do any
                       budgeting or transaction processing.
                       Using account categories, you can sort
                       and combine incoming amounts into groups
                       for reporting and inquiry on activities.


                       You can tie account categories to
                       general ledger accounts using AC07.1
                       (Account Assignment). You can  also
                       streamline your maintenance of changes
                       to general ledger accounts; use AC04.1
                       (GL Code) to define GL codes to
                       represent general ledger accounts.

                       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.
