Balance Categories

Each balance definition has a predefined balance category for quicker processing. Balance categories are a way of grouping balances so that you can set group attributes.

Balance categories are predefined, and you can't create your own balance categories. You can however, create your own localized version of the balance categories you want to use.

When creating a new balance in the implementation phase, you must associate it to one of the predefined categories. You can't add or modify the balance categories in the implementation phase.

These balance categories are predefined in the application for Canada:
