Before Adding Structure Codes

  • Decide how many different account structures are required to represent your chart of accounts. There is no limit to the number of account structures you can have.
  • For example, you may use two account segments in your company: the account segment, plus a department segment, or a region segment.
  • If some of your accounts use only the account segment, create a structure that uses just that segment called the COMPNY structure. You might have one other structure that has all three segments.
  • Define all the account segments you need on the Segments tab of the G/L Options window.
