ATB Category Maintenance

Use ATB (Aged Trial Balance) Category Maintenance to maintain financial classes or categories for tracking financial information on the Aged Trail Balance Report.  ATB Categories are used in Insurance Maintenance to track financial information for groups of insurance companies.  You may find it helpful to assign Medicare to its own ATB Category while grouping similar commercial insurance companies together under other ATB Categories.
