An account has a five-digit account number, and an optional three-digit department. The Department is only allowed when the Allow Departments check box is checked in GL Company Maintenance. The account number cannot be "00000", and the department, if allowed, cannot be "000".
A department of "000" is reserved for summary accounts. Summary accounts are created automatically by the system, whenever a new account is created which has a unique account major, and departments are allowed. Summary accounts consolidate information for an account group, that is, accounts that have the same account major. Summary accounts are for reporting purposes only, and are created as inactive accounts.
