ProcessAccountingClassification — Accounting classification

OAGIS BOD combining the verb Process and the noun AccountingClassification. Business cornerstone of the finance domain in the OAGIS 10.x ecosystem.

BOD purpose

The ProcessAccountingClassification BOD emits an accounting classification update (cost centre, profit centre, project) to apply on a business object. Generally used to enrich a journal entry before its final posting.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

As every OAGIS BOD, ProcessAccountingClassification stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a DataArea business payload containing the verb Process and the noun AccountingClassification.

XML example

Minimal OAGIS 10.x payload for didactic purposes. The structural elements (header + business line) are required in any conformant implementation.
