The key building block of the Dynamics GP system is the General Ledger account. Prior to installing Dynamics GP, you will need to determine your Account Framework and Account Format.
The account framework sets the maximums and sorting options that will be available for all your Dynamics GP companies.
Dynamics GP allows the following maximums for the account framework:
Up to 10 account segments.
Up to 66 characters, not including separators between segments.
Maximum of 82 bytes. Bytes are calculated as the length of each segment plus 1 for each segment with an odd number of characters, or plus 2 for each segment with an even number of characters. For example, an account framework with 7 segments of 6 characters and 3 segments of 8 characters will have 86 bytes: ((6+2) * 7) + ((8+2) * 3) and thus will not be allowed.
In the past, there may have been space considerations that would justify limiting the account framework chosen when installing...
