Book code modifiers
You can limit a row to an existing book code. The column definition must include at least one FD column with a book code.
Note
The book code restriction for a row overrides the book code restrictions in the column definition for that row.
Account and transaction attributes
Some accounting systems support account attributes and transaction attributes in the financial data. These attributes function like virtual account segments and can carry additional information about the account or transaction, which might be account ID, batch ID, postal codes, or other attributes.
If your accounting system supports attributes, you can use account attributes or transaction attributes as row modifiers in the row definition. For information about how to override row information, see the procedure, Override column definition.
For information about how to use account attributes and transaction attributes in the column definition, see the ATTR column type definition in the “Column types” section in Specify a column type in a column definition. For information about how to use attribute filters in the column definition, see Specify a column type in a column definition.
