Tracking Category

This is an object representing an Tracking Category. Sometimes also called a Class, Tag, or Category.

Used by users of the accounting platform to track financials next to the standard chart of accounts.

Every accounting system handles them differently. Some are question with multiple options, whilst others allow complex nesting. Because of this we do not distinguish between just a single parent and child.
