Thanks for the feedback, Pete. I do have access to CIMS, and would like to support user defined account structures. But I want to steer clear of using the CIMS database itself to avoid any possible intellectual-property conflicts. Can you tell me if Infinite Visions is IBM i based?
So far, I allow up to 10 account "entity" segments. And entity segments can be up to 10 characters each. That offers quite a bit of flexibility. But it doesn't necessarily solve the problem of organizations that seem to want to budget one way, but record financial activity another. That may seem more like a policy problem than a technical problem, but it seems that the "powers that be" often look for technical solutions to policy problems. They organize their departments in hierarchical fashion, and give managers responsibility over operational aspects of business, but want to do financial accounting under a different structure. Wierd.
Nathan.
