What it is connected to​

The financial statements do not read this list. The category that groups the Income Statement is the one picked on Release Account in Legal Entity from the delivered reporting list.

If something looks wrong​

  • "Special Duties - Line ID: ... is duplicated with Line ID: ..." Despite its wording, it means two lines carry the same category.
  • "Same Account Category already exists" / "Account Category with the same name already exists" Use another value.
