You can extend the length of the subaccount codes in your chart of accounts if this is required for your business needs.
To extend a subaccount:
- Access your Accounting configuration.
Settings > Accounting – Accounting configuration
- Extend the length of your subaccounts ( ).
- Enter the New subaccount length that you want to use for your subaccounts.
This value cannot exceed 13 digits. - Select your autocomplete preferences:
- Extend subaccounts by inserting 0s at the end: 0s will be added at the end of your subaccount code until the New subaccount length is reached.
- Extend subaccounts by inserting 0s at a specified position: 0s will be added after a specified position in your subaccount code.
For example, if you enter a Current subaccount length of 8, a New subaccount length of 12 and Specify a position of 6, all subaccounts of length 8 are extended as follows: 12345678 becomes 123456000078.
