Setting Up OVFS Category Codes

Category codes that you can use with the OVFS functionality exist in category codes 09/C1-09/C5. As with other user-defined codes, you can change the name of the category code to suit your needs.

You can set up values in these category codes to use for column definitions, row definitions, statement definitions, and statement versions. You can use the category codes to identify the types of data, users, access, or other attributes that you need for the financial statement components. You can also use these category codes to set up security for the components.

To set up security, you assign a category code value to the column, row, or statement definition; or the statement version; and then your system security administrator can use the codes to apply security for the component.

Examples of values are:

• Data sensitivity

• Financial Statement Types
