Create G/L Account Formats

Use the G/L Account Format Maintenance screen to create a new G/L Account Format.

Aeros ERP allow a G/L account to have up to 5 segments.

Example 1: Company - Division - Department - Account - Sub-Account

Example 2: Company - Division - Department - Account

Notes:

It is recommended that there is never more than one G/L Account Format configured in the system.

This is generally a one-time setup configuration and never modified. Please consult your Implementation Specialist or the Customer Support Department before making any modifications.
