Setting Up Chart of Accounts with Numbers and Letters -- Seeking SAMPLE

Hi,

Setting up Chart of Accounts for a property managment company that has multiple Trusts.

 

Due to having multiple Trusts with multiple properties, need to use letters and numbers.

Any guidance on this?  

Six Trusts each with mulitiple properties.

Also, running into a character limit of seven (7) on the first box where I enter the first number.  Really need more like ten to twelve.  

Is this possible?

Does anyone have a sample of chart of accounts with numbers and letters?  Or a source?

I am NOT seeking a referral to a QuickBooks Pro Advisor. 

I work in accounting please do NOT refer me to a QuickBooks Pro Advisor or tell me to contact my CPA.  Seeking a SAMPLE.

Thank you!

I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the character limit in the bank account number in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), NameUser. I'm here to share insights about this.

 

Each field in your company data file has a maximum number of characters that can be entered. To learn more about these limitations, please check out this article: Character limitations for fields in QuickBooks.

 

I can see how the functionality to add 10 to 12 characters would be beneficial to your business. I'd recommend sending a feature request directly to our Product Development team. This helps us improve your experience and the features of the program. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and then select Send Feedback Online.
  2. Choose Product Suggestion.
  3. Add the type of feedback.
  4. Type in your feature suggestion.
  5. Once done, click Send Feedback.

 

For your visual reference, I've attached some screenshots below.
