Documentation

Definition

Specifies the length of a G/L account number in the chart of accounts. This number may have up to ten digits.

Use

If you do not need ten digits for your accounts, you can avoid the need for proceeding zeros by reducing the length of the G/L account number.

Dependencies

The system adds zeros to the account numbers as follows:

• Numerical account numbers

  The system includes zeros to the left of the number
  1234 -> 0000001234

• Alpha-numeric account numbers

  The system includes zeros to the right of the number
  1131DB -> 1131DB0000
