Using Fifteen Digit Account Numbers
You can enter a fifteen-digit general ledger number in the Chart of Accounts Master window. The first two digits are location; the next four digits identify the cost or responsibility center (RC); the next six digits specify the major account number; and the final three digits specify the minor account number.
To activate this feature, you must first authorize G/L Xtensions. Then, you must set the Activate Extended GL Numbers and Responsibility Centers parameter to Y. For more information, see General Ledger Parameters.
You set up fifteen digit account numbers in the General Ledger Parameters. Use the G/L Master Numbers text boxes to enter general ledger master numbers for A/P, A/R, Cash, Cost, Credit Cards, Deposit, Payroll, Sales, and Taxes. Any master account numbers entered here will override the G/L master numbers set in the (L2) G/L Master Numbers screen.
You can also enter the fifteen digit account number in the Expense G/L # box in the Vendor Master tab.
Note: When converting from seven-digit G/L numbers to fifteen-digit G/L numbers and using responsibility centers, all RC accounts convert to account number 0000. You should probably change this number for reporting purposes.
