Business Categories
MX defines roughly 180 business categories, which are, of course, geared toward the requirements of businesses rather than personal finances. This list is separate from the standard personal categories. Business category GUIDs begin with an FCT prefix rather than the standard CAT prefix.
Business Category Fields
