Debt Category

The Debt Category (DEBTCAT) page allows you to establish Debt Categories that can be assigned to debt authorizations and debt instruments when classification is needed for reporting or workflow. Use of the Debt Category rollup is optional and can be used to represent any grouping or additional information necessary when valid values have to be chosen instead of free-form information.

Each Debt Category record must be assigned to one of the three values in the Major Type of Debt field. This assignment allows transactions in Debt Management to present (and edit) only Debt Category values that match the Major Type of Debt of the transaction.

Field Name	Field Description
Major Type of Debt	A required choice to associate a debt category with one of the three choices: Loan, Lease, or Bonds.
