BETC

Identifies the type of activity (gross disbursement, offsetting collection, investment in Treasury securities, and so on) and the effect of a transaction on the FBWT. Is used in combination with the TAS to classify transactions reported to Treasury through all GWA-compliant FMS systems.

When you save the journal line, this field is automatically populated with the BETC type (Payment or Collection) defined for the Treasury Account Symbol that is associated with the balancing segment (fund) entered on the journal line. If the GL account is mapped to a Payment BETC type on the Manage CTA FBWT Account Definitions window, the system automatically populates this field with the Payment BETC. If the GL account is mapped to a Collection BETC type on the Manage CTA FBWT Account Definitions window, the system automatically populates this field with the Collection BETC.

Required if the GL account is mapped to an account, otherwise optional. CTA Line Global Attribute 1
