How do I assign a distribution code?

The distribution code is a unique number that is assigned to a distribution. Usually, the first digit in a distribution code represents the category code which the distribution belongs to. For example, you set up a category for taxes and the category code is 6. When you set up a distribution that belongs to the category titled Taxes, the first digit in the distribution code would be the number 6, or in this case, 601 to show that this distribution belongs to the category titled 6 Taxes.
