RE: GP New Company Setup - Account Format Max Segments
Hi Opster
The account format can be setup per company. What you setup here, has to be within the maximums that were setup in the account framework when Dynamics GP was installed.
The account format setup can be found at Microsoft Dynamics GP > tools > setup > company > account format
You will see two fields greyed out, Maximum account length and maximum segments. These were setup when Dynamics GP was installed.
In the Account length field you can enter the amount of characters you will need for all segments (don't include segment separators).
The segments field is where you enter the number of segments you require which from above is 5. So if your Maximum segments is 5 or higher you are ok. If not, advise and I will tell you what to do.
Once you enter these fields in the lower window, you will see the segments where you can enter the length of each segment. Note that you cannot exceed the Max. Length amount which will be based on the value you entered in Account Length.
Assume you want to add another segment, you would then change the segment value from 5 to 6. The new segment will be added to the bottom of the list.
If you wanted the new segment to be earlier in the string, then I would add it now and just use zeros for now as place holders and then use numbers when you are ready for the segment to be used
