Length of components in a general ledger account code

Changing the length of the component values can result in invalid general ledger accounts. If you change the length, change the values to fit the new length.

Example

In maxdemo the cost center component length is 4, the resource and activity component lengths are both 3, and the element component is 10. When you add in the three delimiters, the length of the GL is 23.

If you change the cost center component length to 3 and the activity component length to 4, the total length remains 23. No configuration is required. However, the general ledger component is now invalid. The cost center component length was shortened to 3 but has a four-digit value (in this example) of 6000.
