Thanks Subbu for your help. It was really good to know in detail. In Adjust Global, Axapta pick 20 as default length but we can give more in that field. What is the maximum length we can define in that field and Axapta can support without moving to customization.
I am not financial person but will try to explain: S.in GP, we define our accounts using segments (e.g. 10-10-00-1020 , 20-10-00-1020 )and can get reporting on the Segments basis. While looking in the test company of Axapta Dynamics I haven't seen such kind of things , there it is taking number sequence while defining accounts. I hope I answered your confusion: S Regards, Faiqa _____ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Subrahmanyam,Mamidi Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 8:24 AM To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Account Length Hi Faiqa, 1. if you want to change the account lenght for all companies, you can change the EDT of accoutNum ( highest parent ) properties in the AOT 2. if you want to change per company, you can admnistration - setup-adjust global variables etc etc...you can set the length over there...I guess 20 is the length We extended.for accoun and projeID...but you can always map back to the char variable in SQL....( 1000 chars?) Caution: Axapta suggests you that you cange the lengths with proper justification before you load the data into tables or it will lead to data inconsistancy or values will not be fetched in queries.....for more info, you can browse the forum for previous posts. Yes. you can rename the default dimensions ( financial??) by changing the lable in the EDT or ENUMs..we renamed configID too... And what is the Seggeration query in GP you are talking about? what does in do in reporting? any insight will be helpful to see if that feature available in axapta. I guess it should since GP is also a baby from Microsoft as Axapta good luck, take care, Subbu Agus Riyadi <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:agusacil%40gmail.com> com> wrote: Hi Faiqa, You can enlarge the string width of Ledger Account through AccountNum Extended Data Type ( I don't know whether Gread Plains use the same concept of EDT or not - never use it). It is converted into varchar data type in the physical database which means you can set it to maxium of 8000 characters width as documented in SQL server ( CMMIW). I have no insight of your second query.
