how many digits are allowed in the chart of accounts

Hi Ed, 

 

Thanks for connecting with us here. It's important you know the character limits in the Chart of Accounts and I'll be glad to share more info so you can continue to manage your work with ease. QuickBooks is designed to make it simple for you to manage your work. 

 

Here are character limits in the program: 

 

  • The name field on an account in the Chart of Accounts allows 100 characters but no colons.
  • Custom fields have a 30 character limit.
    Description columns on an invoice have a 4,000 character limit.
    The customer notes field (in the customer center) has a 4,000 character limit.

Let me know if this info helps. I'll be one message away in case you need additional assistance.
