When you are adding a receivable, you have to define the receivable sub-transactions to book amounts for a policy/quote. Every sub-transaction belongs to a category, which defines the sub-transaction type, owner, collector, balancing logic and possible default sums/rates.
To access the categories, click Finances on the left sidebar and from the drop down menu select Transaction Categories.
The transaction categories list has the following columns:
| Name | Transaction category name. |
| Tag | The tags are required in the internal invoice integration to map some values. For more information see the API Integrations chapter. |

| Default Amount | Set the default amount of money, that will be automatically applied to the credit sum when the category in receivables is selected. |
| In Balance | Set how the category will appear in a balance. Possible options, which are harcoded:
