The System Options document defines many high-level definitions of a fiscal year, including balance types, object types and the university chart level. It also contains values that have an impact on how sufficient funds checking works for a given fiscal year.
Note
Only members of OLE-SYS Manager role can create or edit System Options documents. These documents do not route for approval.
Tip
When you are configuring object types, it is important to cross reference the Object Type Table, System Options Table and the OBJECT_TYPES parameters in the Parameter Table.
