Cost Categories Across Systems
This note consolidates how cost categories and main cost categories are represented across EDB applications.
Scope:
- Elements
- Portal
- GMS1
- GMS2
Goal:
- Define what each concept represents in business terms.
- Capture how each system stores, displays, or uses it.
- Map the equivalent or related fields across systems.
- Call out any mismatches, transformations, or ambiguities.

Open Questions
- Is Main Cost Category a parent grouping of Cost Category in every system, or only in some systems?
- Do all four systems use the same canonical values, or do some systems transform or remap them?
- Which system is the source of truth for these values?
