A value that identifies an account in the general ledger. Use one of the following formats to enter account numbers:
o Standard account number (business unit.object.subsidiary or flex format).
o Third G/L number (maximum of 25 digits).
o Account ID number. The number is eight digits long.
o Speed code, which is a two-character code that you concatenate to the AAI item SP. You can then enter the code instead of an account number.
The first character of the account number indicates its format. You define the account format in the General Accounting constants.
