Using Analytical Accounts for a 150 branch company

Hi folks-my client has 150 branch locations plus a few corporate/support offices. They currently have 6 segments in their COA structure: Company-Division-Branch-Cost Center-Account-Sub-Acct (where Division = Location). As a result, they have about 50,000 lines in their COA list.

Introducing AA module would appear to:

-reduce the COA list significantly (esp for branch cost centers and branch accounts/sub-accts)

-require an extra data entry step in AP invoice entry (as well as journal entries).

The purchase invoices come into AP via a file transfer from another system. What modification can I expect to make to that file before I can import AP invoices after implementing the AA module?

We are contemplating upgrading to GP2018 and adding AA as an interim measure for 2 years or so. And then implement Jet Reports on the new GL.

Would you do this? If not, why? Comments welcome, thanks! Len
