On more detailed investigation, the ResourceTypes in seed data are:

MONEY
RAW_MATERIALS
LABOR
SERVICES
FINISHED_GOODS
DELIVERED_GOODS

These obviously describe the type of resource.  However, the glAccountClass
and glAccountType seem to be modeling very similar concepts:

glAccountType

ACCOUNTS_RECEIVABLE
ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE
BALANCE_ACCOUNT
BANK_STLMNT_ACCOUNT
UNDEPOSITED_RECEIPTS
MRCH_STLMNT_ACCOUNT
CURRENT_ASSET
FIXED_ASSET
FIXED_ASSET_MAINT
OTHER_ASSET
CREDIT_CARD
CURRENT_LIABILITY
...

glAccountClass:

DEBIT
CREDIT
RESOURCE
ASSET
CURRENT_ASSET
CASH_EQUIVALENT
INVENTORY_ASSET
LONGTERM_ASSET
LIABILITY
CURRENT_LIABILITY
...

What are the differences between these concepts?  Why are two entities
required, and not just the one?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris
