Using Account Code Combinations

Why should I use Account Code Combinations?

A linear chart of accounts would include only valid accounts but with our table-driven chart of accounts, any combination of segment codes is valid unless the organization uses account code combinations to define acceptable code combinations.

Will Account Code Combinations allow a blank code for a segment? For example, can a valid combination be a Fund segment with a code of 100 and a Grant segment with a blank code?

Yes, as long as the segment is not a Balancing segment. In this example, the Grant code can be blank because the Grant segment is not set up as a balancing segment.
