Entering an account number

You must also assign an account structure code to each new account. The account structure code verifies the account number when you enter it, and determines how the number is displayed in windows and printed on reports.

You set up segment validation rules using Segment Codes in the G/L Setup folder.

Note: To maintain quantity and currency information for an account, you must select the options for the company in the G/L Options form.
