Reorganizing category structure

Use this procedure to reorganize account category structures. This program processes structure changes that were already defined. For example, structures are reorganized based on the selections made on Move Detail Account Category (AC08.7). The changes made on AC08.7 are to move detail account categories from one summary account to a new summary account within an account category structure. These changes are not processed until you run this program with the Update Unprocessed Changes report option.

  1. Run Structure Reorganization (AC108).
  2. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
