Cost Allocation Account Type (CAAT)

Cost Allocation Account Type (CAAT) is the first window that you should update. It is an alternate window to Account Type (ACCT) which defines the various accounting values that are used during processing. This table allows you to define which of the account codes listed on Account Type (ACCT) are used in the cost allocation process, and how they are used. By defining which account types to use individually or combined, the appropriate General Ledger records are selected during the Build Cost Allocation General Ledger (CAGL) and Pool/Base Table Expansion (CAEX) processes.


Account Type	Key field. Enter a valid account type. See Account Type (ACCT) for valid values.
Account Name	Display only. The descriptive name of the account type is displayed.
Account Allocation Type	Optional. Enter an account allocation type to indicate that this account type is used by the cost allocation programs. When an allocation type parameter is provided to the cost allocation offline programs, it is matched to this table to determine which account types are used in the allocation.
