Setting Up Your Accounting Structure › Accounting Structure Panel

Accounting Structure Panel

The CA PMA Chargeback Administrator uses this panel to define your organization's accounting structure to CA PMA Chargeback and DataManager.

The Accounting Structure panel updates the ACCSTTAB table with the names of up to five user-defined accounting entities.

You can define up to five accounting levels and assign a name (up to 16 alphanumeric characters) for each level. For example, Division, Department, Section, Group-ID, and Team.

Each structure supports up to 16 positions composed of the combined length of the ORD field names you specify on the Accounting Sources Entry panel shown on Accounting Sources Entry Panel. You must press F5 (Save) to save your accounting structure definition.

The contents of the protected display field, Version, is determined by information you specify using the Options facility. See Versions for further details. The Version must be PROD, TEST or appear as blanks. Blanks indicate you are using the Development version. Remember, you can only update a Development version.
