Assign a document type to each of the combinations listed above. Do

the generic accounting technique '0' (for all accounting techniques),
or
both of the above
Note that the generic activity takes precedence over the generic
accounting technique.

If you make the above assignments, the system
Selects document type for activity/accounting technique
