Field Name
Description
Pool/Base Indicator
Each
set of requirements is defined to an ID that is then set on
the Pool/Base Setup to control what chart of accounts must
be completed, cannot be completed, and can be completed on
the Pool/Base Distribution page.
At least one pool is required before
a base record can be defined for a step; otherwise, there
is no source for an allocation. Multiple pools and bases can
be defined for any step, each pool and base being uniquely
identified by a system-generated pool/base sequence number.
Offset Name
Each
offset ID should have a name for clarity as to the reason
for the offset rules and possibly what allocation(s) use them.
Various COA
Elements
Each
contains the three values common to data entry control: Optional, Prohibited, and Required.
