How do I format an account number mask?

Use these instructions to set up Connect to run without the Caselle General Ledger. A mask is series of characters that tells the system how to format a number.

This is a set of commonly used masks:

  • Balance sheet mask: FF-AAAA

  • Revenue mask: FF-SS-RRR

  • Expenditure mask: FF-DD-OOO

 

Each letter represents an account code.

  • A: Asset

  • D: Department

  • F: Fund

  • O: Object

  • R: Revenue

 

When you create a mask, each letter represents one digit.

  • A: This is a single digit.

  • AA: This is a two-digit code.

  • AAA: This is a three-digit code, and so on.

 

Use the account codes from the third party general ledger to set up the account masks in Other GL Information. Make sure the masks in Other GL Information match the masks that are set up in the third party general ledger.
