Specifies the No. of the G/L Account you are setting up. You can enter a maximum of 20 numbers, both numbers and letters.
The No. identifies the account. If you have entered this number in the Account No. field on a journal line (for example when you post the line) the program will post it to this account in the G/L Account table.
In the Chart of Accounts window you must enter account numbers in order, but you can enter them in any order in the G/L Account Card window. When you do, the program will order them so that numbers come first, then letters, then letters combined with numbers and finally other characters.
Leave a large gap between account numbers, so you can insert additional accounts later on. For example, account groups can end in 00 and accounts in 0.

Each number must be unique - you cannot use the same account number twice. You can set up as many accounts as you like.
You cannot fill in the other fields in the G/L Account table until you have entered a number in the No. field.
