Documentation

Definition

The posting category defines the semantics of the account symbol. It specifies what type of posting is involved and the currency of the posting. The posting category will become more significant in future releases. Currently, it is only used as a basis for the currency check. If an update type posts to an account symbol, the posting category is read from the account symbol; then, according to the posting category, the specific amount in the appropriate currency is found in the flow details and then posted. If the required details (for example, the payment currency amount) are not found for a flow, then the flow is not posted and an error message is issued.

Note

Create one account symbol with posting category 'currency swap'. This account symbol does not appear in any posting specifications but it is used for currency swap postings.
