Configuring Account Structures

Account structures consist of main accounts and can include financial dimension segments. The account structures are used to define the valid combinations, which together with the main accounts, form a chart of accounts. The account structures allow you to define the sequence for the entry of the main account and financial dimension.

NOTE: It is not required that the main account be the first segment in the account structure. However, it is required to be a segment in the account structure
