What You Should Know About Category Codes for Chinese Reports

Consider these points about category codes for Chinese reports:

  • Line numbers for each item are stored in the Special Handling Code field of the category code UDC tables.

  • Some amounts on the report must be printed as a reverse of the amounts that appear in the Account Balances table (F0902).

    For example, if an amount in table F0902 is a positive number, it might need to be printed as a negative number on the report. If the amounts in a particular line need to be printed as a reversed number, the Special Handling Code field in the UDC table includes an R before the line number. For example, a value of R10 causes the system to print the amount on line 10 as a reverse of the amount, or sum of the appropriate amounts, in table F0902.

  • You specify in a processing option whether the system indicates that a number is a negative number by surrounding the number with parentheses or by printing a minus sign (-) before the number.

  • You do not need to associate the section headings or the headings for totals to accounts in your chart of accounts; the system automatically prints the headings in the appropriate places.

  • You must print the Chinese financial reports in Simplified Chinese. Some reports are also printed in English. The system stores category code values for Simplified Chinese in table F0005D.
