Account Code Combinations Setup

As the Administrator, using the account code combinations feature (which you select on the Organization Preferences form) is entirely optional. If you have a relatively simple accounting structure and a low probability of entry error, you may elect not to use the feature.

However, if you elect to use account combinations, choose the approach that is easier to set up and maintain. In other words, if most of the account combinations you can create with your account structure are valid, choose to set up invalid combinations. If most of the account combinations are invalid, set up valid combinations.

Indicate the following information on the Organization Preferences>Processing tab:

• Whether you want to use no account code combinations, valid combinations, or invalid combinations.
• Which segments comprise account code combinations (note that you are limited to 9 segments for account code combinations).
• Whether you want the system to "Verify Account Combinations".

You can change the selections you make on this tab at any time. However, if you set up account code combinations, then change the selection to "No Account Combinations," the account code combinations that you set up are deleted.

Instead, you can disable, or temporarily turn off the account code combinations you have set up by clearing the Verify Account Combinations box. Remember to turn the verification process back on when you are ready to activate account code combinations again.
