Understanding the account framework
The framework you’ll enter includes maximums for the account length, the number of account segments, and the length of each segment. These maximums will be used for the account format in all companies you’re planning to set up. You’ll enter the specific account format for each company when you access Microsoft Dynamics GP and set up the company.
Maximums you enter for account framework during installation will apply to additional companies you set up later. For example, you could enter the account framework maximums shown in the following table during the installation process.

With these maximums for the account framework defined during installation, you wouldn’t be able to set up the following account format for a company.
Although the maximum account length and number of segments is within the limit, this account format is invalid because the length of the first segment—8—exceeds the segment maximum that was defined during installation.
Planning your account framework
When planning an account framework, think about the account format you’ve used with your previous accounting system and consider future expansions and the account format for additional companies you may add to your system later. Plan the maximum number of segments you’ll use in any company, and the maximum length of each segment.
It’s important to consider what your current and future needs are for the framework; after you’ve entered the framework, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to change it. If you find that you need to change your account framework, contact your reseller or Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support.
To use one of the default charts of accounts provided with Microsoft Dynamics GP or to complete the orientation training using the sample company, set up the account framework with maximums that are at least the size listed below. To preview the default charts of accounts for various business and industry types, review the Default Charts of Accounts for Microsoft Dynamics GP article (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89042).
