By default, each GL account is given a four-digit number, for example:

You can change the default format to suit your business requirements.

Go to Company Settings > Account Settings and click the Edit icon (the pencil).

In the GL Account Format field, each question mark (?) represents a numeral.

You can add additional question marks for extra digits, and you can use hyphens (-) or periods (.) as dividers.

For example, you could create one of the following formats:

You can always modify the format by increasing the number of digits and adding, removing, or changing the location of dividers; however, you can never decrease the number of digits. In other words, once you add digits, you cannot go back.

If you add digits to the format, Breeze adds zeroes to the end of each GL account. It doesn’t matter whether you add the question marks at the beginning or the end of the existing format, zeroes are added to the end.

For example, account number 4560 will change in the following ways if you change the format.
