Segments
Create a segment when existing QuickStart classifications do not meet your reporting and analysis needs. A segment adds a controlled set of values to either selected transaction headers or transaction lines and to supported source records. This lets users categorize business activity consistently and, when configured, reflect the classification in the general ledger.
You can create and maintain segments that impact the general ledger. Segments are classification fields that help organize data for your organization’s reporting and analysis needs. To classify data by department or class, create a custom segment named Department or Class and add the values users need to select. These names are examples of custom segments, not separate segment types in the creation workflow.
