Burden Code Assignment (AC61.1)

Use Burden Code Assignment (AC61.1) to assign burden codes and pools to any of the following:

  • an activity group
  • a posting activity
  • an activity group and detail account category
  • a posting activity and detail account category

When you run Activity Posting (AC190), burden calculations are triggered by the burden codes and pools assigned to the activity and account category in the transactions that are being posted.

Note: To create burden transactions, you must verify that the Calculate Burdens field on AC00 is set to Yes. AC190 will not create burden transactions if this field is not set to Yes.
Note: If the same eligibility criteria exists in multiple burden pools for the same burden code, AC190 will create burden transactions for only the first pool encountered.

More Information

If no pool number is specified for burden transaction, AC190 used the eligibility criteria and rates from the first pool it encounters. Pool are numbered sequentially. If multiple burden pools exist, the first pool encountered is used. Any other pools are ignored.
