Financial Class
Summary
Financial class is an identifier used for only two purposes at this time: Workers' Comp Case Invoices and Bill Professional Services on CMS-1500 Form. In each case it provides a background linkage which there was no better way to make. Since it is not used by everyone, and is set once for each purpose, there is no way to add and edit Financial Classes from the Setup/Admin as there is with most codes.
