Overview

Tracking Categories are used to classify and track financial data across different segments or dimensions within the business entity.

The Tracking Categories Data Model represents categories used to classify and track financial data across different segments or dimensions within the business entity. This unified model simplifies the management and retrieval of tracking category information.

• Unified tracking category properties: Essential tracking category details, such as name, status, and parent relationships, are standardized across different accounting platforms
• Hierarchical structure: Tracking categories can be linked to parent categories using the parent_id, enabling the representation of complex category structures and relationships
• Financial tracking: Tracking categories allow businesses to track financial transactions or expenses separately, helping businesses gain greater visibility into their financial performance and make better-informed decisions
