Offset Generation |
Optional. Indicates if offsets are to be generated automatically by the system for the balance type. Remove the check mark if there are no offset generated entries. This field does two things: • It determines whether or not a negative entry amount is acceptable. • And it determines if the entry is allowed to have a debit/credit code. If offset generation is Y then it will have a debit/credit code. If offset generation is N, this implies a budget entry and the debit/credit code will be blank. |
