Structure Code

Use a code that identifies the use of the structure. For example, a structure for account numbers with only an account segment could be called ADMIN or COMPNY.
In the description field, enter a description of up to 60 characters that indicates the structure code's use, such as "Regional admin accounts" or "Departmentalized accounts."

Overview
You use the G/L Account Structures screen to define account structure codes that are used to format account numbers.
The structure specifies:
- Which segments appear in the account number.
- The order in which the segments appear.
You must assign an account structure to each account that you add to General Ledger. (You specify which account structure an account uses when you add the account using the G/L Accounts screen.)
For more information, see About Account Structures.
