General Reporting Category (GRPT)

General Reporting Category (GRPT) defines valid values and associated descriptive names for general reporting category values. These values are included in accounting distributions on transactions to record data not covered by any other value. You define how you want to use general reporting category values. In all cases, the values are used within the financial system for reporting purposes only.

If you use the Job Costing Subsystem or Extended Project Accounting, you cannot use General Reporting Category (GRPT) values on documents. Since the general reporting category is entered in the Job Number field, this field can only be used for one of the following: the general reporting category value, the extended project number, or the job number. To see if the Job Costing Subsystem and Extended Project Accounting system options are being used, check System Control Options (SOP2). When General Reporting Category (GRPT) is being used, the value entered in the Job Number field is validated against General Reporting Category (GRPT).
