Account Structure and Transaction Detail

General Ledger allows you to structure your account number to meet your own requirements. The account number structure can be subdivided to facilitate profit center or cost center reporting. You can define as many as four account components, each having up to ten characters (although the total number of characters cannot exceed twelve). In addition, you can describe each component, and this description will appear on screens and reports. Refer to Account Structure Options for more information.

Transaction detail may be automatically maintained on a month-to-date and/or year-to-date basis, and is designated separately for each account. Detail can be kept by journal; by journal and operator ID; by journal, operator ID, and date; in complete summary; or in complete detail. Refer to Transaction Detail Options for more information.
