General Ledger category

A General Ledger category is a subset or subcategory of the chart of accounts that you set up in the General Ledgerapplication.

A General Ledger category is an identifier of accounts, such as an inventory account or offset account, that receive information about inventory transactions. For example, you can describe the accounting unit that you specify in a General Ledger category as a cost center, revenue center, department, and so on.

You can link the General Ledger category to each inventory location and replace with another existing General Ledger category during inventory processing.
