Export Record Types

Export file layouts include record types. These record types indicate whether a record is a header, footer, parent, child, or virtual header.

Record Type	Description
FileContext	Occurs one time in the file (for example, header, footer, or both).
RowContext	Occurs one time in the file. It is either the only record type in the file or the parent to one or more child (sub) record types.
Sub	Allows you to process multiple record types for the same account. For related record types (for example, co-debtors are related to a debtor), set the record type for the parent record to RowContext and set the record type for each child record to Sub. AIM requires parent and child relations to link each child record to the parent record. For each child record type, set the parent relation to the name of the parent record type and set the child relation to the name of the child record type. If there is a key field in the parent and child record types that links the parent and child, set the field relation to that key field. If there isn't a key field that links the records, ensure that you list the tab for the parent record type first and then list the tabs for the child record types in the correct order. If the records are unrelated, see VirtualHeader.
VirtualHeader	Allows you to process multiple unrelated record types for the same account. It creates a header relationship to the unrelated record types. Set the record type for the parent record to VirtualHeader and the record type for each child record to Sub.
