Account category types

When you create an account category, you must specify an account category type. The account category type identifies the account category as cost, revenue, accrual, or pass-thru. Cost and revenue account category types allow you to see profitability for activities on reports and inquiries. Accrual account category types allow you to store data you do not wish to see on the activity profit and loss reports and inquiries. The pass-thru account category type is used in Billing and Revenue Management.
