My old accounting system had three-digit account codes, which I used when I created my GnuCash chart of accounts. As time went by and I had to add more accounts, I ended up using decimals. They sot as I expected, but it's ugly that most accounts have NNN codes yet some have NNN.N codes. Gyle's suggestion of four-digit codes makes sense to me, in hindsight. I almost wrote "if I had it to do over again, I'd use four-digit account codes." But of course it's possible to change an account code at any time, so I think I'm off to renumber my accounts now. :-) -- Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
