Responsibility Reporting Structure

Responsibility codes are also assigned to Account/Center Master File income statement accounts used on responsibility reports.  Each set of these responsibility codes is matched with the corresponding minor responsibility code on the table when the extract indicator for the table record is set.  Account/Center Master File amounts are then accumulated into the minor responsibility area.  These amounts are rolled-up to the associated major responsibility area and are accumulated for any responsibility reports for which that area is a minor responsibility area.

Note that the responsibility coding structure is separate from and independent of the location coding structure.  Each responsibility report may incorporate accounts from several different locations.  However, all accounts used for each report should be posted through the same fiscal period.

Note also that responsibility codes must be assigned so that minor responsibility codes are numerically or alphabetically before their major responsibility code.  For example, minor responsibility code 1000 can be rolled up into major responsibility code 2000; or minor responsibility code AAAA can be rolled up into major responsibility code BBBB.
